Stanley Black & Decker (US8545021011) stock traded at $97.86 on August 31, 2026, with a market cap of $14.78 billion and a one-year range of $61.90 to $104.68. The company posted $1.57 in quarterly EPS on July 29, 2026, ahead of the $1.21 consensus by $0.36.
Earnings stay in view
The quarter also brought $3.96 billion in revenue, just below the $3.97 billion estimate, while revenue rose 0.4% from a year earlier. Stanley Black & Decker also set FY 2026 EPS guidance at $4.90 to $5.70, and analysts tracked in recent market coverage see $5.57 for the year.
That puts the share price at 23.87 times earnings on the latest market snapshot, with a dividend yield of 3.43% and a quarterly payout of $0.84 per share. The mix of a beat on profit, a near-match on sales, and full-year guidance gives the stock a clean set of numbers for trading desks to weigh.
Consensus and valuation
Market coverage on August 31, 2026 also pointed to a Hold rating and a consensus target of $92.25, both below the latest trade. Morgan Stanley's $96 target appeared in the same coverage, keeping the valuation debate centered on execution rather than a bigger reset in expectations.
For investors, the comparison that matters is simple: the latest trade at $97.86 sat above the $92.25 consensus target and just under the $104.68 52-week high. A move back through that level would leave the stock closer to the top of its annual range than the middle.
DeWalt and tools
DeWalt remains one of Stanley Black & Decker's best-known brands, spanning drills, saws, batteries, and other jobsite tools sold to contractors and serious DIY buyers. That brand strength matters because the latest quarter showed profit growth even as sales came in slightly short of estimates.
Stock level
Stanley Black & Decker stock last changed hands at $97.86 on August 31, 2026. The latest market snapshot leaves the shares between the $61.90 low and the $104.68 high for the past 12 months.
