Genuine Parts Company (GPC) has a Lemma Quality Score of 4.2 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which reads as mixed quality. A mixed reading means the strengths and weaknesses roughly cancel out, and the case for the business depends on which pillars you care about most. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.
Set against 179 Consumer Discretionary companies, Genuine Parts Company lands at the 28th percentile, in the weaker half of its peers. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.0 and a company needs 6.1 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Genuine Parts Company below the median.
Profitability scores 1.8 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.1, so Genuine Parts Company is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 14th percentile. A low reading here is the first thing to explain: it is the pillar most closely tied to whether the business creates value at all.
There is no solvency score for Genuine Parts Company: too little of the pillar could be measured from the filings to give an honest reading. The overall is therefore the weighted average of the other pillars. Across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies the median for this pillar is 5.9. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.
Genuine Parts Company’s growth score is 3.2 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.0 among 149 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is below the group and the 38th percentile. Weak growth means revenue and earnings have been flat or shrinking against peers, which can be cyclical or a sign of a market that is maturing.
Genuine Parts Company’s efficiency score is 7.6 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 6.2 among 170 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is above the group and the 91st percentile. High efficiency means assets and earnings are being turned into cash and output better than at most peers, a sign of a well run operation.
Genuine Parts Company’s predictability score is 5.7 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.0 among 178 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is above the group and the 62nd percentile. Consistency near the median is typical, and it is worth checking whether the swings came from the business itself or from one-off items.
This is a lopsided profile. Efficiency scores 7.6 but profitability only 1.8, a gap of 5.8 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. An efficiency lead means the operation turns what it has into cash better than it does anything else. A profitability shortfall is the one most worth understanding, since it bears directly on whether the business creates value.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is profitability. If it rose to the median of Consumer Discretionary companies, 5.1, Genuine Parts Company’s overall score would go from 4.2 to about 5.2. Only four of the five pillars could be scored. Together they carry 80 of the 100 weight points (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and the overall is the weighted average of those alone.

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
