Stanley Black & Decker operates through an industrial portfolio focused on the Tools & Outdoor and Engineered Fastening segments. Tools & Outdoor generates revenue from power tools, hand tools, accessories, storage solutions, and outdoor products under the DEWALT, STANLEY, and CRAFTSMAN brands, while Engineered Fastening provides fastening systems for automotive and industrial markets, including data centers and solar energy. In Q2 fiscal 2026, Tools & Outdoor revenue was approximately $3.6 billion out of consolidated revenue of $4.0 billion, demonstrating that the company’s tools and outdoor products represent its largest source of sales.
In Q2 fiscal 2026, the company recorded revenue of $4.0 billion, gross profit of $1.3 billion, net income of $351.3 million, and diluted earnings per share of $2.33, according to EDGAR data. Management reported that stated revenue was flat compared with the corresponding period, while organic revenue grew 3%, supported by volume strength across U.S. retail and commercial and industrial channels. Adjusted gross margin was 33.7%, up 620 basis points, although approximately 250 basis points of this margin came from net tariff refunds.
For the twelve months ended in 2026, revenue was $15.2 billion, gross profit was $4.9 billion, net income was $620.5 million, and earnings per share were approximately $4.12. Within Q2 fiscal 2026, Tools & Outdoor revenue increased 3% and its adjusted margin rose to 11.8%, while stated Engineered Fastening revenue declined 18% due to the sale of the aerospace fasteners business, but grew 3% organically and achieved an adjusted margin of 13%. This mix reflects a more focused company following the divestiture, with a clear improvement in operating profitability despite flat stated consolidated revenue.
The average analyst price target is $91, within a target range of $84 to $96, compared with a consensus rating of Neutral. The average target is approximately 13% below the 52-week high of $104.68, and the highest target of $96 also falls short of that high. This framework reflects recognition of improved earnings and margins, but retains a degree of caution due to flat stated revenue and the reliance of part of the fiscal 2026 improvement on productivity, tariff refunds, and items below operating profit.

Revenue was $4.0 billion, net income was $351.3 million, and earnings per share according to EDGAR were $2.33 in Q2 fiscal 2026. Organic revenue grew 3%, supported by an 8% increase in power tools and double-digit growth in the U.S. commercial and industrial channel. Adjusted gross margin was 33.7%, up 620 basis points, but net tariff refunds added approximately 250 basis points to the margin. Adjusted earnings per share were $1.57, exceeding the midpoint of management’s guidance by $0.37.
Management expects adjusted earnings per share of between $5.20 and $5.80 in fiscal 2026, representing 18% growth at the midpoint. It expects flat stated revenue and low-single-digit organic growth, split approximately evenly between volume and price. The free cash flow forecast ranges from $600 million to $800 million, or from $800 million to $1 billion before payments related to the sale of the aerospace fasteners business. The company is also targeting an adjusted gross margin of between 34% and 35% in the second half of fiscal 2026.
Management describes DEWALT as the growth engine focused on professional users, particularly in nonresidential construction, data centers, power generation, and prefabrication. The U.S. commercial and industrial channel grew at a double-digit rate in Q2 fiscal 2026, and the company expects it to approach 10% of Tools & Outdoor sales during the year. The Perform and Protect portfolio includes more than 200 safety and productivity solutions, and the company launched DEWALT On-Demand to provide multilingual guides and resources through a QR code on the tool. The DEWALT Grow the Trades program also invested $27 million during the three years ended in 2026, with a cumulative commitment of $60 million by 2030.

The STANLEY and CRAFTSMAN brands achieved positive organic growth in Q2 fiscal 2026, alongside growth at DEWALT. Management linked STANLEY’s improvement to the brand refresh, product updates, and work with channel partners to improve in-store presentation. At CRAFTSMAN, advanced V20 batteries were well received and supported platform performance, with new products reaching shelves during the remainder of fiscal 2026. However, management maintained the second half of fiscal 2026 as the benchmark for STANLEY’s improvement and fiscal 2027 as the benchmark for consistency in CRAFTSMAN’s performance, indicating that additional periods are needed to demonstrate sustainability.
The company expects Section 301 tariffs to restore the underlying tariff cost to previous IEEPA levels within months of fiscal 2026. Meanwhile, costs for battery metals, tungsten, oil, and oil derivatives are exerting pressure, and management estimated the annual inflation impact at approximately $100 million. Tariff refunds benefited the Q2 fiscal 2026 margin by approximately 250 basis points, but most of the quarterly earnings-per-share benefit of $0.17 will be reinvested, resulting in a net annual benefit of approximately $0.05. The company is working to increase compliance with USMCA and shift production of tools intended for the U.S. market from China to North America, with price increases potentially needed by fiscal 2027.
