What the filing says
Stanley Black & Decker reported Q2 2026 net sales of $4.0B (flat YoY, +3% organic), gross margin 33.0% (+600 bps YoY; +250 bps from tariff refunds), diluted EPS $2.33 (+$0.17 from tariff refunds). Completed CAM divestiture in April 2026 for $273.7M gain; reduced debt by $1.7B and repurchased 3.2M shares ($250M) in Q2. Raised full-year 2026 GAAP EPS guidance to $4.60–$5.45 (from $4.15–$5.35) and adjusted EPS to $5.20–$5.80 (from $4.90–$5.70); raised free cash flow guidance to $600–$800M (from $500–$700M).
Why this rating
Divestiture proceeds ($1.8B) and tariff refunds materially improve near-term cash/debt, raising guidance is positive signal. However, 3% organic growth is modest, CAM sale reduces Engineered Fastening revenue −18%, and tariff benefits are temporary. For $10.5B market-cap firm, the event is ordinary corporate M&A and capital deployment—important but not trajectory-changing.
