Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (NYSE:SWK) has established itself as a leading name in the tools and hardware industry, boasting a legacy that spans over a century. The company’s brand lineup features well-known names such as Stanley, Black+Decker, and Craftsman.

The company’s journey over the last few years has been quite tumultuous. The onset of the pandemic saw a spike in demand for home improvement and DIY projects, leading to significant sales growth. Capitalizing on this trend, Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (NYSE:SWK) actively pursued growth through debt financing and invested nearly $2 billion in acquisitions at the close of 2021. However, this upward momentum was short-lived. Most of the demand had been brought forward, and as the market stabilized, sales began to decline. Over the past five years, the stock has shrunk by more than half, a stark contrast to its peaks during the pandemic.

Currently, a substantial portion of its revenue is still driven by tools and outdoor products, which remain central to the company’s operations. In 2024, the revenue reached $15.4 billion, roughly maintaining the level from the previous year after adjusting for acquisitions, divestitures, and currency fluctuations.

Importantly, Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (NYSE:SWK) holds the status of a Dividend King, indicating that it has increased its dividend payments annually for an impressive 59 years. This achievement reflects a consistent growth trajectory, made even more remarkable against the backdrop of the company’s recent challenges. This highlights a robust balance sheet that supports ongoing dividend payments, with a current quarterly dividend of $0.83 per share, translating to a dividend yield of 4.48% as of October 2.
