Let us delve deeper.
Key Factors & Estimates for Q3
Healthy demand — as reflected in the year-over-year improvement in Tools & Storage, Industrial and Security sales — as well as solid product offerings and a focus on innovation were beneficial for Stanley Black in the second quarter. The impacts of the same trend are expected to get reflected in the third-quarter results as well. Also, solid e-commerce business; demand for health, safety, home improvement and electrification products; synergistic gains from acquired assets, price and productivity actions; and cost actions are likely to have been other tailwinds.
Notably, a recovery in economic activities in the United States and globally is expected to have played an important role in product demand for Stanley Black and other industrial players. Industrial production in the United States expanded 4.3% year over year in the third quarter. However, the same decreased 1.3% in September from the previous month. It was down 0.1% in August and up 1% in July. The monthly setback primarily reflects the impacts of shortages of semiconductor chips in the market.
In addition to market challenges, Stanley Black is anticipated to have suffered from headwinds related to cost inflation, especially those related to commodity costs and transit costs in Tools & Storage, in the third quarter. High debts and the adverse impacts of divestitures are also expected to have ailed.
For the third quarter of 2021, Stanley Black anticipates year-over-year organic sales growth of 9-12%. The projection has been made per the company’s scenario planning. Earnings in the quarter are expected to be 21.5% of the yearly projection of $11.35-$11.65 per share.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $4,260 million for the third quarter of 2021, suggesting a 10.6% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported number and a 1% decline from the previous quarter’s reported figure. Likewise, earnings estimates are pegged at $2.47, indicating a decrease of 14.5% from the year-ago reported figure and a 19.8% fall from the previous quarter’s reported number.
The Tools & Storage segment is believed to have benefited from the refill in customer inventory and solid demand for products. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Tools & Storage segment’s revenues is pegged at $3,167 million, indicating a 12.9% increase from the year-ago reported figure and a 0.9% decline sequentially.
For the Industrial segment, moderate assumptions for the oil & gas businesses are likely to have impacted the performance. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues is pegged at $605 million, suggesting year-over-year and sequential growth of 3.1% and 0.5%, respectively.
The Security segment is believed to have gained from healthy demand for technology and data-based products, health and safety solutions, and a solid backlog for commercial electronic security products. The Zack Consensus Estimate for third-quarter sales is pegged at $489 million, indicating a 6.3% increase from the year-ago reported figure and a 2.6% decline sequentially.
