Genuine Parts Company (GPC) Dividend Stock Analysis


Linked here is a detailed quantitative analysis of Genuine Parts Company (GPC). Below are some highlights from the above linked analysis:

Company Description: Genuine Parts Co is a leading wholesale distributor of automotive replacement parts, industrial parts and supplies, and office products.

Fair Value: I consider four calculations of fair value, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:

  1. Avg. High Yield Price
  2. 20-Year DCF Price
  3. Avg. P/E Price
  4. Graham Number

GPC is trading at a premium to all four valuations above. The stock is trading at a 10.3% premium to its calculated fair value of $35.67. GPC did not earn any Stars in this section.

Dividend Analytical Data: In this section there are three possible Stars and three key metrics, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:

  1. Free Cash Flow Payout
  2. Debt To Total Capital
  3. Key Metrics
  4. Dividend Growth Rate
  5. Years of Div. Growth
  6. Rolling 4-yr Div. > 15%

GPC earned three Stars in this section for 1.), 2.) and 3.) above. A Star was earned since the Free Cash Flow payout ratio was less than 60% and there were no negative Free Cash Flows over the last 10 years. The stock earned a Star as a result of its most recent Debt to Total Capital being less than 45%. GPC earned a Star for having an acceptable score in at least two of the four Key Metrics measured. The company has paid a cash dividend to shareholders every year since 1948 and has increased its dividend payments for 54 consecutive years.

Dividend Income vs. MMA: Why would you assume the equity risk and invest in a dividend stock if you could earn a better return in a much less risky money market account (MMA)? This section compares the earning ability of this stock with a high yield MMA. Two items are considered in this section, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:

  1. NPV MMA Diff.
  2. Years to > MMA

The NPV MMA Diff. of the $346 is below the $500 target I look for in a stock that has increased dividends as long as GPC has. The stock’s current yield of 4.17% exceeds the 4.02% estimated 20-year average MMA rate.

Other: GPC is a member of the S&P 500 and a member of the Broad Dividend Achievers™ Index.

Conclusion: GPC did not earn any Stars in the Fair Value section, earned three Stars in the Dividend Analytical Data section and did not earn any Stars in the Dividend Income vs. MMA section for a total of three Stars. This quantitatively ranks GPC as a 3 Star-Hold.

Using my D4L-PreScreen.xls model, I determined the share price would need to decrease to $36.16 before GPC’s NPV MMA Differential increased to the $500 minimum that I look for in a stock with 54 years of consecutive dividend increases. At that price the stock would yield 4.54%.

Resetting the D4L-PreScreen.xls model and solving for the dividend growth rate needed to generate the target $500 NPV MMA Differential, the calculated rate is 3.4%. This dividend growth rate is greater than the 2.5% used in this analysis, thus there is no margin of safety. GPC has a risk rating of 1.25 which classifies it as a low risk stock.

GPC’s long string of dividend increases are supported by its strong underlying fundamentals of sales, earnings and free cash flow growth. The company exhibits excellent financial leadership as evidenced by its record free cash flow per share of $4.40 in 2009. From an operating standpoint, GPC has an extensive distribution network and it has built a loyal customer following over the years. Since the company is trading well above my buy price of $35.67 and the $36.16 maximum price supported by its dividend fundamentals, I will wait for a pullback before adding to my position. For additional information, including the stock’s dividend history, please refer to its data page.

MarketSnapshot-A Top Kill or A Bullish Fill?

The stock market made quite a run Thursday, with bulls essentially calling the shots from the open to the close. The S&P 500 gained 3.3%, ended at its high for the session, and closed just below its 200-day simple moving average (1104.46), which is a key technical resistance point.

Accordingly, as many participants ponder an extended and hopefully oil-free, beach weekend, there is a technical line in the sand that will be challenged on Friday.

The current disposition of the futures market suggests the cash market will start in neutral. Close attention will be paid to whether bulls step up again or whether there is ultimately a top kill that is filled with packed selling aimed at stopping the buying pressure.

Unlike BP (BP), which is conducting its own closely watched top kill procedure, we won't have to wait another 48 hours to determine if the top kill effort took. We will know in about 7 hours from now.

As far as Thursday's rally was concerned, we thought it had the look of being a forced-fed move as the scope of the gains was out of line with the reported impetus for the rally. In effect, all China did was reaffirm something the market believed to be true a week ago anyway when the S&P 500 declined 3.9% and the Financial Times had nothing to say on China's euro holdings.

The ability to get so much out of something so little is a classic sign of a market that was thought to be oversold on a short-term basis and was desperately looking for a catalyst to launch a technical rebound.

Now, it is about follow through.

The market hasn't been able to record back-to-back gains since April 28-29. With the upcoming holiday weekend in the U.S., headline risk will be an overhanging factor throughout today's trading. That could curtail buying interest, although it does seem as if the negative emotion surrounding headlines out of Europe has subsided. That is not to say Europe still can't cause problems, but the feeling that a European tape bomb is waiting just isn't as strong as it was a week or so ago.

That latter thought presumably pushes the geopolitical conflict on the Korean Peninsula to the top of the list of headline risks. Then, there is always the "unknown factor" with negative implications that traders would prefer not to sweat over the weekend, which would be the case if they take home long positions.

The supposition is that today could resolve itself on a fairly flat note. The start of trading will begin that way as the S&P futures are trading roughly in line with fair value.

The Personal Income and Spending report for April had the same mixed feel to it. Income rose 0.4% (consensus +0.4%) while spending was unchanged (consensus +0.3%) following a 0.6% increase in March.

On a bright note, personal current transfer receipts did not play a part in the income gain, as they dipped 0.2% in April. Instead a 0.5% increase in wage and salary disbursements for private industries played a leading role.

Real disposable income was up by a like 0.5%. Interestingly, the personal savings rate increased 0.5 percentage points to 3.6% from 3.1% in March, suggesting consumers saved a good portion of the income gain.

Real personal consumption expenditures were unchanged, as a 0.1% decline in goods was offset by a 0.1% increase in services.

The PCE price index, excluding food and energy, increased 0.1% (consensus +0.1%) on top of a 0.1% increase in March. That dropped the year-over-year change in core PCE, a favored inflation indicator for the Fed, to 1.2% from 1.3%.

Headline Hits (Updated 28-May-10)

Chicago PMI Reveals Slowdown in Production, but Still Strong

Business activity got a little weaker in the Midwest Region in May, but do not confuse weak with bad.

The Chicago Purchasing Manager's Index fell from 63.8 in April to 59.7 in May but remains well entrenched in an expansionary cycle.

Production and orders slowed as those indexes slipped from 63.1 to 61.0 and 65.2 to 62.7, respectively. However, the slowdown was minor and any index above 60 shows significant overall expansion.

There were a couple of odd details in the data. Order backlog growth deteriorated as the index dropped from 61.4 in April to 52.7 in May. Typically, a significant drop in backlogs would be due to a drop in orders. While orders slowed, the drop was nowhere near as dire as one would expect for such a slowdown in backlogs.

The employment index returned to the contraction phase, dropping from 57.2 to 49.2. The drop in employment does not follow the strength in production numbers. It may mean that firms over hired as production initially started to expand and do not need to hire any additional workers.


10:31 ET

U. Michigan Sentiment Index Revised Higher

Consumer attitudes strengthened slightly in May as the final reading of the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index increased from 73.3 in the preliminary to 73.6. The rise was unexpected as the median estimate called for a slight decline to 73.2.

The rise in sentiment followed the surge in the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Survey. That reading came in much stronger than even the most optimistic economists in the consensus survey as consumers held onto the belief that the labor market was in a strong recovery.

The move in the sentiment index exposed the same behavior. The economic outlook index increased from 68.3 in the preliminary to 68.8, its highest level since January, as consumer worries about the job market slightly subsided.


09:57 ET

Personal Spending Held Flat in April

Personal spending in April was a slight disappointment as consumption growth was flat after increasing 0.6% in March. Consensus expectations called for spending to increase 0.3.

Consumption came in well below the 0.4% increase expected by the April retail sales report. However, that report showed a 0.5% increase in motor vehicle expenditures even though auto manufacturers reported a 560,000 unit decline in sales. The personal spending data revealed that motor vehicle spending actually declined 1.1%, which was in-line with the manufacturers' data.

Personal income increased 0.4%, exactly what the consensus expected.

Surprisingly, even though jobless claims have been trending higher, the government paid out $21.8 bln less in April than March.

After two months of declines, personal savings increased from 3.1% to 3.6%. It is unknown if this is the start of a new upward trend in savings or if it is a one-time increase.

Core PCE prices increased 0.1%, exactly what the consensus expected but slightly higher than April's CPI report. Year-over-year core price growth declined from 1.3% in March to 1.2% in April and remains well below the Fed's target level of 1.5% - 2.0%.


08:13 ET

JCG Raises FY11 Guidance

J. Crew (JCG 43.86) last night reported first quarter earnings of $0.68 per share, $0.11 better than the consensus of $0.57 per share.

The company reported that revenues rose 19.7% year-over-year to $413.9 million, above the $394.2 million consensus.

Gross margin increased to 49.0% of revenues, from 42.2% of revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.

The company issued in-line guidance for the second quarter, expecting earnings of $0.40-0.45, in-line with the $0.44 per share consensus. The company issued upside guidance for fiscal year 2011, raising earnings guidance to $2.35-2.45 per share, above the $2.34 per share consensus, up from its previous guidance range for fiscal 2010 of $2.20 to $2.30 per share.


07:36 ET

GES Beats Expectations but Lowers Guidance

Guess? (GES 38.17) last night reported first quarter earnings of $0.58 per share, excluding $0.04 in charges, $0.09 better than the consensus of $0.49 per share.

The company reported revenues rose 22.2% year-over-year to $539 million above the $507.2 mln consensus.

The company issued downside guidance for the second quarter, expecting earnings of $0.65-0.68 per share, below the consensus of $0.78 per share. The company expects revenues for the second quarter to be in the range of $560-570 million, below the consensus of $592.05 million.

The company stated, "Based on the continued strengthening of the US dollar against the Euro, this full year outlook includes a further negative translation and margin impact on diluted EPS of $0.16 for the remainder of fiscal 2011. This is in addition to the $0.12 negative translation impact that the company had initially expected for the same period."
