Stanley Black & Decker Inc (NYSE: SWK) is a tools and industrial manufacturing company that designs, produces, and sells hand tools, power tools, outdoor equipment, and engineered fastening systems. Revenue is generated through transactional product sales across professional, industrial, and consumer end markets via retail, distributor, and direct channels. The company has pursued a sustained portfolio simplification strategy, divesting its commercial electronic security business (net proceeds $3.1B, July 2022), Mechanical Access Solutions business (net proceeds $916M, July 2022), Oil & Gas business (August 2022), Infrastructure attachment tools business (net proceeds $729M, April 2024), and announcing in December 2025 a definitive agreement to sell its Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing business for $1.8B in cash. These divestitures concentrate the portfolio on two areas: tools and outdoor products, and engineered fastening systems. A Global Cost Reduction Program initiated in mid-2022 targets $2.0B in cost savings as part of a broader business transformation. The company is headquartered in the United States and trades on the New York Stock Exchange.
