Genuine Parts Company faces challenges from tariffs and weak consumer demand, but long-term investors may find value in its current valuation and 3.56% yield. Despite a solid Q4 2024 performance, GPC's 2025 outlook is cautious with expected EPS between $6.95 - $7.45, impacted by ongoing tariffs. Rising free cash flow payout ratio and economic uncertainty pose risks, but share repurchases and cost-saving initiatives could drive future growth.
The stock market recently took a big dip, driven down by concerns about how much tariffs will affect the economy. One of the benefits of falling stock prices is that dividend yields move in the opposite direction.

My top financial goal is to eventually generate enough passive income to cover my basic living expenses. I march toward that objective each month by investing more money into income-generating investments, like dividend-paying stocks.

Genuine Parts Company NYSE: GPC is a Dividend King worth buying in 2025 because its stock is trading at long-term lows, the stock has value relative to peers, and the dividend is at the high end of the historical range. Trading near $120, this stock pays more than 3.0% and can be expected to continue growing its annual payout because of its business and financial health; it is good for long-term investment.
Genuine Parts' dividend growth and strategic moves show promise, but market challenges and competition weigh on its performance.
We believe Advance Auto's withdrawal from key markets presents further sales opportunities for Genuine Parts. On a higher consideration, the aging car population and increased car complexity will be key winners in GPC's equity story. Valuation at a discount vs. its past, with a solid balance sheet and 69th consecutive year of increased DPS paid to shareholders. This is still a buy.
Genuine Parts Company reported expectedly subdued Q4 results, with Automotive results being pressured by industry weakness, but Industrial performance seeming to lag some encouraging economic signals. The 2025 guidance suggests a subdued Automotive sales performance, but an encouraging recovery in Industrial. Negatively, profitability is guided to continue declining despite restructuring savings. GPC stock prices in slow organic earnings growth, in line with my expectations.
