Genuine Parts price target raised to $160 from $155 at Loop Capital

Loop Capital analyst Chris Dankert raised the firm’s price target on Genuine Parts (GPC) to $160 from $155 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Genuine Parts reduced 2025 guidance to reflect the impact of tariffs and a slower pace of automotive recovery, but the guidance cut wasn’t as much as investors feared, Loop says in a research note. The firm sees Genuine Parts as meaningfully undervalued and well-positioned to benefit from renewed inflation, while cost optimization, M&A integration, and improving organic growth support margin expansion into the second half.
