Stanley Black & Decker Reports Lower 2025 Sales

Stanley Black & Decker reported 2025 revenue of approximately USD 15.1 billion on February 4, 2026, down 2% from a year earlier. Fourth-quarter sales were about USD 3.7 billion, declining 1% on a reported basis and 3% organically.

The annual results release described softer North American retail demand, particularly for power tools. In the fourth quarter, Tools & Outdoor organic revenue fell 4%. Higher pricing and favorable currency movements partly offset lower volume, showing why the reported sales decline was smaller than the change in physical demand.

Profitability improved in several measures despite the lower revenue. Full-year reported earnings were USD 2.65 per share and adjusted earnings were USD 4.67 per share. The company generated USD 971 million in operating cash flow and said supply-chain savings, pricing and tariff-mitigation measures contributed to margin progress.

The release also discussed the agreed USD 1.8 billion sale of Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing, which had not yet completed at the reporting date. Stanley Black & Decker issued an initial 2026 adjusted earnings outlook of USD 4.90–5.70 per share. The figures describe the broader tools, outdoor and fastening group, with portfolio changes and demand trends both shaping the next year's comparison.
