These five aristocrats offer a 3.2% yield, 10% annual dividend growth, and 33% upside potential in the next year, even without tax cuts, and 38% with tax cuts.
Assessing risk vs. reward is crucial for stock investing; Genuine Parts Company's recent 20% drop prompts a re-evaluation of its current investment potential.

Shares fell after the company lowered 2024 earnings expectations.
Genuine Parts Company experienced a significant 20% drop in stock value, now trading at a valuation below 12.2x P/E normalized with a yield above 3.53%. Despite the drop, Genuine Parts Company remains a stable, nearly 100-year-old business with a BBB rating and a market cap over $15B, not facing bankruptcy.
