The latest announcement is out from Genuine Parts Company ( (GPC) ).
On February 17, 2026, Genuine Parts Company reported fourth-quarter 2025 sales of $6.0 billion, up 4.1% year over year, but booked a net loss of $609 million due largely to a one-time, non-cash pension settlement charge, while adjusted earnings remained profitable. For full-year 2025, sales grew 3.5% to $24.3 billion with $1.0 billion in adjusted net income, and the board approved a 3.2% dividend increase to $4.25 annually, extending the company’s 70-year streak of annual dividend hikes and signaling confidence despite margin pressures and restructuring costs.
Segment results showed modest growth in North America Automotive, stronger top-line gains but margin compression in International Automotive, and solid revenue and margin expansion in the Industrial segment. The company ended 2025 with $1.5 billion of liquidity and positive free cash flow and, alongside its 2026 outlook calling for 3% to 5.5% sales growth, it announced plans to separate its automotive and industrial operations into two independent public companies to sharpen strategic focus and potentially unlock shareholder value.
The most recent analyst rating on (GPC) stock is a Buy with a $162.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Genuine Parts Company stock, see the GPC Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GPC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GPC is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by mixed fundamentals: steady sales and margin improvements are outweighed by weaker cash flow conversion and some profitability pressure. Technicals are supportive with price above major moving averages and positive MACD, but momentum appears somewhat stretched. Valuation is moderate-to-rich at a 23.05 P/E, tempered by a 3.08% dividend yield, while earnings call updates were constructive but cautious given macro and tariff uncertainties.
