Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (hereinafter referred to as “generally accepted accounting principles" or "GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024, and subsequent related filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the first quarter of 2025, the Industrial segment was renamed “Engineered Fastening” as a result of a more focused portfolio following recent divestitures. The Engineered Fastening segment name change is to the name only and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or segment results. On April 1, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its Infrastructure business. This divestiture did not qualify for discontinued operations and therefore, its results were included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income through the date of sale. The sale of the Infrastructure business is part of the Company's strategic commitment to simplify and streamline its portfolio to focus on the core Tools & Outdoor and Engineered Fastening businesses. Refer to Note Q, Divestitures, for further discussion of this transaction. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the 2025 presentation.
