Debt = borrowings plus lease liabilities. Cash & securities = cash, equivalents and short-term marketable securities (long-term securities are not counted, so net cash can be understated for companies that hold large long-term investments). Net debt = debt minus cash & securities. Source: latest SEC 10-Q/10-K. EBIT / EV yield = operating profit divided by market cap plus net debt.

+10.2% to fair value
Average of the 12 valuation models that pass our checks: multiples, discounted cash flow, dividend discount and earnings power value. A model more than 100% above or 60% below the price is left out as unrealistic. Model uncertainty is High, based on how far apart the models are. Undervalued or Overvalued means the gap to fair value is more than 17.5%.

What this means
Weak business, fairly priced
The price sits inside our fair-value band. A high score does not guarantee a good outcome; it shifts the odds a little. Use the checklist as a prompt for your own research.

SWOT analysis: Genuine Parts Co
Strengthsinside the company
- Operating profit covers interest 50x, so debt costs are a small drag.
Weaknessesinside the company
- Return on invested capital is only 1.2% (median 24.9% for sector peers), so the business earns little above its cost of capital.
- Operating margin of 0.5% is thin against 15.0% for sector peers.
- Earnings per share have declined 61.6% a year over three years.
- Net debt is 7.3x EBITDA, above the 3x level that lenders usually watch.
Opportunitiesvaluation and setting
- No specific opportunity is visible in our valuation, sector or growth data.
Threatsvaluation and setting
- Heavy debt makes profits sensitive to interest rates and refinancing conditions.
- Trades at 538.9x earnings, 2,497% above the 20.7x median of sector peers, so the price already assumes better results.
- Valuation uncertainty is high: the models give widely different values, so the fair value range is wide.

Sector leaders: highest X-Ray Score in Consumer Discretionary
GPC ranks #42 of 47 in Consumer Discretionary by X-Ray Score. A higher score is stronger on our five pillars; it is a ranking of facts, not a forecast.
Green means better than the peer median, red worse (only where a higher or lower figure is clearly better). A dash means too few companies report the figure. P/E, EV/EBITDA and price changes are not graded: a different level is not good or bad by itself.

These ratings compare companies with each other and describe the past; they are not a forecast, a recommendation or part of the X-Ray Score. A factor is left out when its data is missing or meaningless (for example a P/E on negative earnings). A dash in the history columns means fewer than three usable years.
