Wells Fargo raised its price target for Stanley Black & Decker stock from USD 90.00 to USD 95.00 on September 11, 2026, while keeping an Equal Weight rating, MarketScreener reported. The target reset gives the stock a clear valuation reference as the company prepares its next quarterly report.
November 4 earnings set the next test
Stanley Black & Decker will release third-quarter 2026 earnings before the market opens on November 4, 2026, followed by an 8:00 a.m. ET conference call, according to the company's September 23, 2026 release, Stanley Black & Decker. That date matters because the latest reported quarter showed revenue stability but left execution and margin progress as the main questions for the next update.
The company generated USD 3.96 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 3.97 billion consensus, according to MarketBeat. Revenue was therefore USD 10 million below the comparison estimate, a small gap that puts more emphasis on profitability and cash generation in the upcoming report.
Revenue stability meets portfolio changes
Stanley Black & Decker's portfolio strategy also changed in September 2026. The company agreed to sell Excel Industries, including the Hustler brand, to Bad Boy Mowers; Excel was expected to generate USD 300 million in fiscal 2026 revenue, The Globe and Mail reported on September 5, 2026. The divestiture narrows the outdoor portfolio and places greater weight on the company's core tools, storage and industrial operations.
For investors, the comparison between USD 3.96 billion in quarterly revenue and the USD 3.97 billion consensus is more useful than a broad growth label. It shows that the next report must provide evidence of operating improvement rather than rely on revenue expansion alone.
