# Stanley Black & Decker Inc. (SWK) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Industrials / Building Products. Price $97.36, market value $14.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 23.8×** (5-yr avg 23.0×, 3-yr avg 33.4×). Stanley Black & Decker Inc. trades at 23.8× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 23.0×. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 15.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.43**. A PEG of 0.43 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.0×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.6×**. The shares trade at 1.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 8.8%** (5-yr avg 0.0%). Free cash flow equals 8.8% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 4.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.2% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 2.7%**. 2.7% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 4.4%**. 4.4% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on assets: 2.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces 2.9% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -1.5%** (3-yr -3.7%/yr, 5-yr 3.5%/yr). Revenue fell 1.5% over the last year, against 3.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 35.9%** (3-yr -26.8%/yr, 5-yr -18.7%/yr). Earnings per share rose 35.9%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.58**. Debt is 0.58 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 3.45%** ($3.32 per share, trailing). Stanley Black & Decker Inc. yields 3.45%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Payout ratio: 125%** (39% of free cash flow). The dividend exceeds earnings (125% payout), though free cash flow still covers it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 26**. 26 straight years of increases (the data covers 26 years, so this may be longer): a record very few companies hold.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 3.5%/yr** (1-yr 1.2%). The dividend has grown 3.5% a year over five years.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 34.7%** (YTD 33.9%, 3-mo 25.4%). The shares are up 34.7% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -7.0%** (57.3% above the low). Trading 7% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 50**. An RSI of 50 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.57** (volatility 38%). Beta of 1.57 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
