Conclusion:
Genuine Parts Company should be on the radar of every Enterprising Investor. The company does not pass the requirements of the Defensive Investor by having a current ratio that is too low and currently trading at a PEmg ratio just a little high, but it passes every single requirement of the Enterprising Investor. The company has had stable earnings growth and dividend history, and generally looks good for the Enterprising Investor. From a valuation perspective, the company appears to be fairly valued. After growing EPSmg (normalized earnings) from $2.80 in 2008 to an estimated $3.83 for 2013, the market-implied growth rate of 6.43% is in line with the historical performance. As a result, Enterprising Investors should feel comfortable if further research indicates the company may be suitable for their individual portfolios.
