Genuine Parts is also having a hard time at the moment, but has nevertheless increased its dividend for 70 years in a row.

I'm holding a decent load myself $GPC and think that it will go down even further. But with sufficient staying power (cars are a classic cyclical), I think there is a decent opportunity here.
