In its third quarter of 2025, Stanley Black & Decker reported stable financial performance despite a challenging economic environment. The company’s revenue stood at $3.8 billion, consistent with the previous year, as gains in pricing and currency were offset by lower volume.

Key financial metrics revealed a gross margin of 31.4%, with an adjusted gross margin of 31.6%, reflecting a year-over-year improvement. The company achieved an adjusted EPS of $1.43, benefiting from a favorable tax rate. Free cash flow was reported at $155 million, underscoring the company’s effective cash management strategies. Additionally, the Global Cost Reduction Program has been successful, nearing its target with $1.9 billion in savings achieved.
The Tools & Outdoor segment maintained its sales levels, while the Engineered Fastening segment saw a 3% increase in net sales, driven by strong performance in the automotive and aerospace markets. However, the company faced non-cash asset impairment charges impacting certain trade names and investments.
Looking ahead, Stanley Black & Decker remains focused on achieving its long-term financial goals, including margin expansion and cash generation. The management is committed to driving innovation and operational excellence to ensure sustainable growth and shareholder value creation.
