Stanley Black & Decker Lowers Full-Year Earnings Guidance

Stanley Black & Decker Inc. (NYSE: SWK) reported on Wednesday that fiscal third-quarter net income jumped 44%, driven mainly by higher revenue from industrial and construction divisions; nonetheless, shares were hammered after the tool maker slashed its full-year earnings guidance. Core earnings barely managed to beat analysts’ expectation but revenue missed the estimation. For the full-year fiscal, the Company now anticipates earnings to be in the range of $4.90 to $5 a share down from earlier projections of $5.40 to $5.65 a share. The Company blamed weakness in emerging markets, the impact of the partial government shutdown in the U.S and very little recovery in the security segment’s margin rate for a downbeat outlook.
