		<description><![CDATA[Standard Motor Products (SMP) enjoys strong brand recognition worldwide. Successful R&#38;D and perfect strategic acquisitions have helped the company enrich its product portfolio and maintain a broad customer base. Standard Motor&#8217;s recently amended credit agreement with GE capital has increased its scope for further investments. Moreover, Standard Motor has hiked its dividend payment, signaling the company&#8217;s improved confidence in its operations. Furthermore, the company is not vulnerable to the cyclicality of the auto industry. In the first quarter, its earnings exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate by $0.18 per share. Therefore, we have maintained our Outperform recommendation on the stock. Our $17.00 target price, which is 12.1x our 2011 EPS estimate, reflects this view.

		<description><![CDATA[We reiterate our Outperform recommendation on Standard Motor Products Inc. (SMP), which is one of the nation’s leading manufacturers, distributors and marketers of automotive replacement parts. The company presently operates through two primary segments: Engine Management and Temperature Control. Standard Motor released its 2011 first quarter financial results on May 04, 2011.  The company earned a net income of $7.1 million or $0.31 per share from continuing operations, more than doubling the earnings of $3.1 million or $0.14 per share in the first quarter of 2010. Consolidated net sales in the quarter grew 22.7% to $220.2 million, driven by the increase in customer inventories and pre-season ordering in the Temperature Control business.

		<description><![CDATA[Standard Motor Products Inc. (SMP) is in a good position to benefit from the aging car population as Americans hold on to their vehicles longer. The company, which manufactures and distributes automotive replacement parts, recently reported strong third quarter results driven by solid top-line growth. Estimates have been rising, too, sending the stock to a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy). With a 1.5% dividend yield and attractive valuation, there is a lot to like about Standard Motor. Company Description Standard Motor Products operates in two major segments: Engine Management and Temperature Control. Approximately two-thirds of sales come from the engine management division, with the other third coming from temperature control. Standard Motor sells its products through the major auto parts stores, such as Advance Auto Parts (AAP), AutoZone (AZO), and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have upgraded the recommendation on Standard Motor Products (SMP) from Neutral to Outperform. This reflects the company’s improving outlook due to strong brand recognition, less cyclical end-market, efficient debt management measures and inventory management. Standard Motor enjoys a strong competitive advantage due to its brand recognition and customer base. It distributes parts under established owned-brand names such as Standard, Blue Streak, BWD Automotive, Niehoff under Engine Management division, and Hayden and Four Seasons under its Temperature Control division as well as under private labels such as CARQUEST and NAPA Auto Parts. Standard Motor has undertaken cost-cutting initiatives by focusing on inventory management, sourcing from low-cost countries such as in Hong Kong, Asia and moving plant locations to Reynosa, Mexico, particularly the Engine Management business, and to Poland in its ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Standard Motor Products Inc. (SMP) has been gaining on strong demand for its aftermarket car parts as consumers look to upgrade existing cars as opposed to buying new. Company Description Standard Motor Products, Inc. manufactures and sells replacement parts for motor vehicles in the automotive aftermarket in the United States, Latin America and Europe. The company was founded in 1919 and has a market cap of $232 million. Fixing up existing cars instead of buying new has been hot for the last year as consumer spending has buckled under unemployment and general economic weakness. This dynamic helped Standard Motor produce better than expected second-quarter results, reported on August 5. Second-Quarter Results Sales were down 8% from last year to $197.5 million, but earnings were better than expected at 27 cents ]]></description>
