What does Genuine Parts Company do?

Genuine Parts Company is the Atlanta-based parent of NAPA Auto Parts and Motion industrial parts, distributing automotive and industrial replacement parts across North America, Europe, and Australasia with combined annual sales of roughly $24 billion. A Fortune 500 stalwart valued for its 70-year streak of consecutive dividend increases, the company is now navigating a fundamental shift after announcing plans to split into two standalone public companies — a restructuring revealed alongside a Q4 earnings miss that has driven a steep two-day selloff.
