The earnings call presented a mixed outlook with both positive and negative aspects. The company showed strength in its DEWALT brand and achieved significant cost savings, contributing positively to the overall sentiment. However, challenges such as a decline in revenue, gross margin due to tariffs, and lower performance in key segments like Tools & Outdoor and Engineered Fastening were notable negatives.

Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During the Stanley Black & Decker Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company provided guidance focusing on its financial performance and strategic initiatives amidst a challenging operating environment, influenced by tariffs and a slow outdoor buying season. Revenue for the quarter was reported at $3.9 billion, indicating a 2% decrease year-over-year, with a 3% organic decline, largely attributed to tariff-related shipment disruptions. The company achieved an adjusted gross margin of 27.5%, down from last year due to tariff impacts and lower volume, but showed improvement through supply chain efficiencies and price actions. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.1%, and adjusted earnings per share were $1.08. Stanley Black & Decker is actively working on mitigating tariff impacts, aiming to sustain gross margin improvement towards a 35% target. The company also reiterated its commitment to deleveraging, targeting a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.5x by 2026, supported by projected free cash flow of $600 million for 2025 and potential proceeds from portfolio streamlining.
