Stanley Black Gears Up to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Stanley Black will report Q3 results on Nov. 4, with EPS estimated at $1.19 on $3.77 billion in revenues.
DEWALT momentum and outdoor recovery are expected to aid the Tools and Outdoor segment growth.
Higher costs and weak industrial demand may pressure results despite margin gains.
Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (SWK - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter 2025 results on Nov. 4, before market open.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for this New Britain, CT-based tool maker’s third-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.77 billion, indicating growth of 0.5% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings is pinned at $1.19 per share. The figure indicates a decline of 2.5% from the year-ago quarter’s number.
The consensus estimate for earnings has declined 10.5% over the past 30 days. The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the consensus estimate in each of the preceding four quarters, the average surprise being 57.3%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Stanley Black before the announcement.
Factors Likely to Have Shaped SWK’s Quarterly Performance
Stanley Black’s Tools & Outdoor segment’s results are expected to benefit from the solid momentum in its DEWALT business and recovery in demand for the outdoor products. However, persistent softness in the DIY market and depressing demand for hand tools remain concerning. We expect the Tools & Outdoor segment’s revenues to increase 1.5% year over year to $3.31 billion.
Softness in the automotive end market, owing to headwinds in the automotive OEM light vehicle production, is expected to have impacted the Engineered Fastening segment’s third-quarter performance. Also, weakness in the general industrial market and the divestiture of the infrastructure business are likely to weigh on the segment’s top-line results. We expect the Engineered Fastening segment’s revenues to decline 7.5% year over year to $451.2 million.
Also, escalating operating expenses are likely to weigh on the company’s bottom-line results. For the quarter under review, we anticipate selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses to be $833.3 million, indicating a 4.5% increase from the year-earlier level.
Nevertheless, SWK’s cost-reduction program is likely to have supported its bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter. The company is expected to have put up a healthy margin performance, aided by supply-chain transformation and inventory reduction efforts. We anticipate SWK’s adjusted operating margin to be 10.9%, indicating an expansion of 120 basis points on a year-over-year basis.
