I got my second stock analysis report for March in with a few days to spare. I'll have to get ahead of the game in April, because there's really no excuse for not getting these out to my readers. I've been trying to find some undervalued companies that pay their dividends on a different schedule from the March, June, September, December schedule to try and get a little bit of monthly diversification on my payouts. Today we'll look at Genuine Parts Company (GPC). They are a dividend champion with 57 consecutive years of increasing dividends. Genuine Parts closed trading on Wednesday, March 27th at $77.36.
