<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Genuine Parts has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Genuine Parts's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Genuine Parts's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.97%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Evercore ISI Group Maintains In-Line on Genuine Parts, Raises Price Target to $160

Adjusted EPS of $1.88&nbsp;missed the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus of $2.42</a>.
The automotive and industrial replacement parts provider reported third-quarter sales growth of 2.5% year-on-year to $5.97 billion, marginally beating the analyst consensus estimate of $5.94 billion.

Sales for the Industrial Parts Group declined 1.2%, and the segment's profit margin contracted 100 basis points to 11.9%.
Gross profit increased 4.2% Y/Y to $2.2 billion. Selling, administrative and other expenses were $1.7 billion, an 11.0% rise Y/Y.
Cash and equivalents totaled $1.08 billion as of September 30. Net cash generated from operating activities for the first nine months was $1.1 billion.
CEO Will Stengel: "Our results were below our expectations, primarily driven by continued weakness in market conditions in&nbsp;Europe&nbsp;and our Industrial business."
Outlook: Genuine Parts lowered fiscal 2024 revenue growth outlook to 1%-2% or $23.32 billion-$23.55 billion (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39909434/genuine-parts-struggles-amid-soft-market-conditions-q2-earnings-miss-and-bleak-fy24-forecast" rel="noreferrer noopener">prior 1%-3% or $23.32 billion-$23.78 billion</a>) versus $23.48 billion consensus.
It lowered the fiscal 2024 adjusted EPS outlook to $8.00-$8.20 (prior $9.30-$9.50), compared to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $9.36</a>.

Genuine Parts price target lowered to $129 from $164 at Truist

The U.S. presidential elections influence more than just politics—they often trigger stock market volatility. In such times of uncertainty, dividend growth stocks might offer stability and dependable income. Thus, investing in Target (TGT), Kimberly-Clark (KMB), and Genuine Parts (GPC) may ensure steady cash flow and long-term growth. Read more… The U.S. presidential elections are pivotal, influencing the stock market's stability. With elections around the corner, investors may want to focus on dividend stocks to weather volatility. Companies such as Target Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TGT/">TGT</a>), Kimberly-Clark Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/KMB/">KMB</a>), and Genuine Parts Company (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/GPC/">GPC</a>) offer steady income, making them ideal for passive earnings.
This election season might <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonschenker/2024/10/14/us-presidential-election-outcome-uncertainty-could-roil-markets/">create the most uncertainty since 2000</a>. Prolonged uncertainty could pose significant risks to equity markets, industrial commodity prices, business investment, and consumer confidence, ultimately destabilizing the broader U.S. economy. Such unpredictability could result in substantial market volatility.
Last week, U.S. equity markets surged to new record highs. This increase was due to easing inflationary pressures, as shown in the September Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) reports. The market responded positively to these signs of decreasing year-on-year inflation.
Year-on-year CPI inflation <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm">dropped from 2.5% to 2.4%</a> in September, the slowest pace since February 2021. However, core CPI inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose from 3.2% to 3.3%. This mixed inflation data signals ongoing concerns despite some relief in overall price growth.
Although inflation remains a key focus, it may not be the biggest risk facing financial markets. A more significant concern could be prolonged election outcome uncertainty. This scenario could shake investor confidence and introduce heightened volatility across sectors, overshadowing inflationary threats in the short term.
In such times, dividend growth stocks could offer stability through <a href="https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/resources/education/what-is-dividend-investing-understanding-how-it-works">a consistent and growing income stream</a>, making them ideal for investors seeking reliable cash flow. These stocks, typically issued by financially strong companies, provide both dividends and long-term growth potential, serving as a buffer against market volatility.
Considering the current volatile market trends, let us delve into the fundamentals of three dividend aristocrat stocks that have consistently increased their dividends for over 50 years. These stocks appear to be ideal candidates for long-term investment and hold the potential for sustained growth over the decades.
