Genuine Parts Company

GPC pitch long Lauren Harmon, Derek Johnson, Adam Kommel

Thesis

We recommend investors buy Genuine Parts Company (GPC) with a two year price target of $127, representing a total return of 45%. The investment thesis is based on the strength of the automotive parts segment, a Reverse Morris Trust merger with United Stationers for the office segment, and a tax-free spin of the industrials and electrical parts segments.
