Genuine Parts (NYSE: GPC) has more than doubled the total return of the S&P 500 index since the turn of the century. However, since 2022, shares of the automotive and industrial parts leader have declined 23% as inflation ballooned and spending from manufacturers tightened.

Here's why I'm thinking the latter.
