Genuine Parts stock gained 1.69 percent to USD 127.24 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, giving the company a USD 17.5 billion market capitalization. According to Genuine Parts Company, third quarter 2026 results are scheduled for October 20, 2026.
Results date sets the next checkpoint
The October 20 release will give investors the next operating update after Q2/2026 revenue increased 6.0 percent year over year to USD 6.54 billion. MarketBeat reported adjusted EPS of USD 2.15 for the quarter against consensus of USD 2.08, a USD 0.07 beat.
The company also maintained fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of USD 7.50-8.00, according to MarketBeat. That range makes the October report important because the market will be measuring demand and profitability against an already defined full-year framework.
Planned split reshapes the company
Genuine Parts is preparing to separate its automotive and industrial businesses into two independent public companies. In a September 9, 2026 release, PR Newswire reported that Court Carruthers was appointed CEO-elect of the future automotive-focused Genuine Parts business, while Will Stengel is set to lead Motion.
The same release set separate investor days for December 8, 2026, for Genuine Parts and December 9, 2026, for Motion. The separation is targeted for the first quarter of 2027 and remains subject to final board approval and an effective Form 10 registration statement, according to PR Newswire.
Analyst target stays above the stock
MarketBeat described a Moderate Buy consensus from nine research firms on September 23, 2026, with five Hold ratings, three Buy ratings and one Strong Buy rating. Its average 12-month price target was USD 147.86, which is 16.2 percent above the USD 127.24 NYSE price on October 2, 2026.
The target spread also shows the range of opinion: UBS assigned a USD 122.00 Neutral target, while DA Davidson raised its target from USD 150.00 to USD 170.00 with a Buy rating, according to MarketBeat. The October 20 report and the planned separation therefore remain the two clearest company-specific checkpoints for the stock.
