Valuing Genuine Parts stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Genuine Parts's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Genuine Parts's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, Genuine Parts shares trade at around 17x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Genuine Parts's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.0244. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Genuine Parts's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Genuine Parts's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$2.1 billion (£1.7 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Genuine Parts's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Over the last 12 months, Genuine Parts's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$124.6266 up to US$170.3508. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Genuine Parts's is 0.966. This would suggest that Genuine Parts's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

Dividend payout ratio: 41.26% of net profits
Recently Genuine Parts has paid out, on average, around 41.26% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.78% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Genuine Parts shareholders could enjoy a 2.78% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Genuine Parts's case, that would currently equate to about $3.8 per share.
While Genuine Parts's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Genuine Parts may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Genuine Parts's most recent dividend payout was on 31 March 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 February 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
