Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (SWK)

In Q1 2025, revenues exceeded expectations, leading to a stock price increase. Q2 2025 revenues missed expectations due to a slow outdoor buying season and tariff-related shipment disruptions, causing a stock drop. A quarterly dividend increase was announced. Over the past year, SWK's stock price has declined. The company is executing a cost-reduction program and adjusting its supply chain to mitigate the impact of tariffs, while also pivoting towards electrified outdoor tools.

Demand for Stanley Black & Decker's products exhibits seasonality, particularly in the Tools & Outdoor segment, with higher demand leading up to and during warmer months and softer demand during colder periods.
