Genuine Parts (GPC) is facing questions about its 2025 outlook as the business environment remains challenging, following its mixed Q4 results, UBS said Wednesday in a note.
"The key question remains whether there's enough support to conclude that its initial guidance for 2025 is achievable," UBS said as Genuine Parts on Tuesday issued adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance of $7.75 to $8.25 on sales growth of 2% to 4%.
UBS revised its earnings per share estimates to $7.80 from $8.20 for 2025, and to $8.75 from $9 for 2026, as it sees weak demand still pressuring sales in the near term.
On a positive note, the firm said Genuine Parts has options to shape its future, including pursuing acquisitions, and expects to continue its cost reduction program.
UBS reiterated its neutral rating on the stock and $125 price target.
