Stanley Black & Decker stock was at EUR 78.27 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 11:46 a.m. CEST, down 0.04 percent versus the prior close of EUR 78.30. The latest earnings picture combines a clear EPS beat with a revenue miss and a higher full-year adjusted outlook.

EPS beat masks a mixed quarter

MarketBeat reported on September 30, 2026 that Stanley Black & Decker delivered Q2 2026 EPS of USD 1.57, beating the USD 1.21 consensus by USD 0.36. Revenue reached USD 3.96 billion versus USD 3.97 billion expected, while revenue increased 0.40 percent from the prior-year quarter.

The comparison matters because earnings strength was not matched by the top line. Zacks said on September 3, 2026 that adjusted gross margin expanded to 33.70 percent from a 620-basis-point improvement, while adjusted EPS guidance rose to USD 5.20-5.80 from USD 4.90-5.70.

Portfolio reshaping adds a second test

On September 4, 2026, MarketScreener reported that Stanley Black & Decker agreed to sell Excel Industries to Bad Boy Mowers. Excel is expected to generate USD 300 million in fiscal 2026 revenue, and the company said the transaction should not dilute adjusted EPS.

The deal narrows the portfolio around larger brands and leaves the next report as the key checkpoint for whether margin progress can persist beyond the latest quarter. The company also operates through tools, outdoor equipment and industrial products, giving the revenue comparison more weight than the isolated EPS beat.

November report sets the next checkpoint

Stanley Black & Decker said on September 23, 2026 that it will release Q3 2026 results on November 4, 2026, before the market opens. The earnings call is scheduled for 8:00 a.m. ET, making the report the next dated test of the USD 5.20-5.80 adjusted EPS outlook.

At Lang & Schwarz, the stock was at EUR 78.27 on September 30, 2026 at 11:46 a.m. CEST, down 0.04 percent versus the EUR 78.30 prior close dated September 29, 2026. Market capitalization stood at USD 13.4 billion, with a 52-week range of USD 61.90 to USD 104.68.
