Strategic Transformation and Market Positioning Drive Buy Rating for Stanley Black & DeckerWe see ~20% upside to shares as DEWALT momentum, CRAFTSMAN stabilization, and gross margin recapture materializes in '25. We expect multiple expansion in 2H as the stock's narrative shifts from transformation to organic growth, and upward revisions to '26 Street EPS as investors embrace the idea that mgmt's go-forward playbook for margin expansion adds to the profit improvement from 'heavy-lifting' since 2022. Initiate Buy. Compelling Set-Up. SWK has orchestrated a comprehensive transformation since mid-'22 which substantially culminates in '25, so execution risk from 'heavy lifting' is largely in the rearview. The biz is stable (inventory down $2.1B & debt cut $5.6B vs. peak), focused ($2.6B in divestitures), and agile (centralized org. structure) as buybacks soon return (~$930M in '26 FCF). Aging Housing Stock Helps Neutralize Anemic Housing Turnover.
