Let us delve deeper.
Key Factors & Estimates for Q2
Stanley Black’s solid product offerings, its focus on innovation, and exposure in various end-markets have been proving advantageous over time. With ease in pandemic-led disruptions and restrictions, market conditions are improving and are likely to have boosted second-quarter performance. Demand is believed to have been impressive for health and safety, and home and garden products.
Investments in capacity expansion, margin-resiliency program and a surge in the e-commerce business are other likely tailwinds. However, high costs — especially for base metals, steel, resins, batteries and electrical components — are expected to have been concerning for the quarter’s margins/profitability. High debts and divestiture-related issues are likely to have been other woes.
For the second quarter of 2021, Stanley Black anticipates year-over-year organic sales growth of 28-32%. The projection is as per the company’s scenario planning. Earnings in the quarter are expected to be 25% of the yearly projection of $10.70-$11.00 per share.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $4,203 million for the second quarter of 2021, suggesting a 33.6% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported number and a 0.1% growth from the previous quarter’s reported figure. Likewise, earnings estimates are pegged at $2.89, indicating an increase of 80.6% from the year-ago reported figure and a 7.7% decline from the previous quarter.
The Tools & Storage segment is believed to have benefited from improvement in commercial and industrial markets as well as the healthy U.S. retail business. The healthy emerging market business along with growth in e-commerce and retail businesses in Europe are likely to have been other tailwinds. The scenario planning suggests a second-quarter organic sales increase of 35-40% for Tools & Storage in the second quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Tools & Storage segment’s revenues is pegged at $3,118 million, indicating a 41.9% increase from the year-ago reported figure and 1.8% growth sequentially.

The Security segment is believed to have gained from easy comparables, growth initiatives and record backlog. The scenario planning indicates a low-double digits increase in organic sales for the second quarter.
