SMP: Hold with a $66.41 price target

Year-to-date profit has improved, but borrowing is higher relative to earnings.

Target for 2027-09-22: $66.41 USD, +80.6% versus the $36.77 weekly close on 2026-09-18. Price return only; dividends, fees and tax excluded.

Over 1 year (2025-09-19 to 2026-09-18), price changed -6.9% and trailing EPS changed +7.5%. A wider gap changes the earnings multiple; it does not establish fair value.

Across 2 completed quarters since 2025-12-31, net income was 47.5m versus 37.8m in the matching prior-year periods (USD). Check whether the latest quarter changes that direction.

Cash after capital spending / profit: 1.7× for SMP, against 1.2× across 6 comparable peers.

Net debt / EBITDA: 3.0× for SMP, against 2.5× across 12 comparable peers.

Over one year, the stock changed -6.9% against +14.8% for US stocks (SPY). The gap is -21.7 percentage points. These are price returns, before dividends.

The latest quarterly margin changed +1.5 percentage points from a year earlier. Check sales volumes, pricing and unusual gains in the next filing.

Recheck the valuation gap alongside profitability and growth after new results. A discount alone does not establish value.

Compare the stock and the market fund over the same dates. Look for a change in relative performance as results arrive.

Starting annual sales growth: 10.65%.

Long-term operating margin: 7.61%.
