Genuine Parts cuts 2025 adjusted EPS outlook to $7.50-$8.00 after Q2 results
Genuine Parts reported second-quarter 2025 sales of $6.2 billion, up 3.4% from a year earlier, but diluted EPS fell to $1.83 from $2.11 and adjusted diluted EPS fell to $2.10 from $2.44. The company cut its full-year 2025 adjusted diluted EPS outlook to $7.50 to $8.00 from $7.75 to $8.25 and lowered its total sales growth outlook, citing tariffs and a more moderate expected market improvement, which points to lower profit for shareholders this year.
