Standard Motor Products stock (ISIN US8536661032) closed at USD 37.15 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 21, 2026, up USD 0.38 or 1.03 percent from the prior close. The immediate catalyst is the companys latest quarterly performance, with second-quarter earnings of USD 1.40 per share against consensus of USD 1.39.

Quarterly earnings beat estimates

According to MarketBeat on September 21, 2026, Standard Motor Products reported USD 526.72 million in revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with analyst expectations of USD 511.68 million. The USD 15.04 million difference places reported revenue 2.94 percent above the cited estimate.

The same September 21, 2026 report states that quarterly EPS exceeded consensus by USD 0.01, or about 0.72 percent. The combination of revenue above expectations and EPS above estimates gives the stock a concrete earnings reference, although the reported trailing net margin was 2.78 percent.

Stock remains below yearly high

The September 21, 2026 market snapshot puts SMPs 52-week range at USD 34.27 to USD 46.00, with the closing price USD 8.85 below the high and USD 2.88 above the low. Trading volume reached 190,918 shares, compared with an average volume of 142,288 shares in the quoted data.

Market capitalization stood at USD 829.93 million as of September 21, 2026. The valuation picture is mixed in precise terms: the trailing price-to-earnings ratio was 16.58, while the quoted forward ratio was 8.78, reflecting the difference between trailing earnings and projected earnings.

Analyst target stays above price

MarketBeat listed a Moderate Buy consensus and an average price target of USD 49.00 on September 21, 2026. That target was USD 11.85 above the September 21, 2026 close, while the quoted potential upside was about 31.9 percent.

The principal counter-factor is profitability: the same data showed trailing net income of USD 41.33 million and a net margin of 2.78 percent. For investors, the earnings beat therefore matters alongside the companys ability to convert revenue into profit, rather than revenue growth alone.

Closing price and key data

Standard Motor Products stock closed at USD 37.15 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 21, 2026, after gaining 1.03 percent. The price remained inside the USD 34.27 to USD 46.00 52-week range, with market capitalization at USD 829.93 million as of the same date.
