Genuine Parts

Genuine Parts is among the world’s largest Distributors sector businesses in the world.  Genuine Parts’s employees generate $483.0M in profits on $10.553B of revenue.  Global output in the Distributors business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but Genuine Parts is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Distributors segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

Genuine Parts’s ticker symbol GPC has recently been trading near $49.92 a share.  The Genuine Parts corporate headquarters in Atlanta GA predicts Distributors profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $8.505B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 0.84, the company is less volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves lower, Genuine Parts moves less aggressively.
