📊 MIXED GPC reported Q1 2026 sales of $6.3B (+7%), reaffirms adjusted EPS guidance $7.50-$8.00, separation on track.
Revenue & Profitability
First quarter 2026 total sales were $6.3 billion, a 6.8% increase year-over-year, with comparable sales growth of 240 basis points. Adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to approximately $498 million (7.9% of sales), and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.77, slightly above prior year. The company reaffirmed its full-year 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance of $7.50-$8.00, up 5% at the midpoint, and expects total sales growth of 3%-5.5%.
Outlook
Management expressed cautious optimism, noting three consecutive PMI readings above 50 in the first quarter and solid performance fundamentals. However, they highlighted near-term uncertainty from the conflict in Iran, including higher oil prices, inflationary pressures, and potential impacts on consumer sentiment and industrial output. The outlook assumes a roughly flat market growth with 2% pricing benefit from inflation and tariffs, and incorporates a net negative EBITDA impact of $10-$20 million in Q2 from the conflict.
Growth Drivers
Key growth drivers include sequential improvement in all three business segments, strong performance in Industrial (10 of 14 end markets grew, MRO up 5%), and company-owned store comparable sales in North America Auto up 5.5%. International Auto saw solid results in Asia-Pac (comparable sales up 4%) and improved European performance. Acquisitions such as Benson in Canada provided a tailwind, and strategic initiatives contributed about one point of growth.
Balance Sheet & CapEx
In Q1 2026, GPC invested approximately $100 million in capital expenditures to modernize supply chain infrastructure and IT systems. The company expects depreciation and interest expense to be a headwind of approximately $0.30 per share in 2026 as it continues to invest for growth. No specific full-year CapEx guidance was provided, but the focus remains on modernizing the supply chain.
Margins
Gross margin improved 20 basis points year-over-year to 37.3%, driven by strategic pricing and sourcing initiatives, partially offset by inflation and tariff impacts. Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of sales increased 50 basis points to 29.4%, primarily due to cost inflation in salaries, healthcare, rent, and freight. GPC reaffirmed its full-year expectation of 40-60 basis points of gross margin expansion and continues to pursue restructuring initiatives with $26 million in savings realized in Q1.
Key Risks
Management identified several risks: the conflict in Iran creating supply chain disruptions, higher oil and energy prices, and reduced consumer sentiment; ongoing cost inflation in salaries, healthcare, rent, and freight; and weaker market conditions in Europe and Canada due to trade disputes and low confidence. The performance of independent owners in the US NAPA business and the duration of the Iran conflict are key monitoring points.

A comprehensive, bias-free framework for analyzing and ranking stocks by Financial Strength, Growth Potential, Competitive Edge, Management Quality, and Value.

Financial Model
Projections are built from each company's audited annual financials (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) over the last 5 fiscal years. Forward assumptions — revenue growth %, EBITDA margin, D&A (USD millions), interest expense, tax rate, and capex — are AI-generated using historical context and refreshed twice a year: after the December results season and after the September/Q4 results season.

DCF Valuation
Fair Value = Σ(FCFt / (1+WACC)t) + Terminal Value. Terminal Value uses the Gordon Growth Model: FCF5 × (1+g) / (WACC−g). Default WACC: 10% (US risk-free ~4.5%, equity risk premium ~5.5%). Default terminal growth: 3% (long-run US nominal GDP proxy).

CAGR Tracker
Expected 5-year CAGR = (DCF Fair Value / Current Price)1/5 − 1. Assumes fair value is reached in exactly 5 years — a mechanical estimate only.
