Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. dividend has been a fixture in industrial portfolios for decades, backed by a global business spanning power tools, hand tools, and engineered fastening systems under brands like BLACK+DECKER. SWK currently pays $3.32 per share annually, with quarterly payments of $0.83 and a next ex-dividend date of June 8, 2026. The current yield stands at 3.61%. With a beta of 1.202, SWK stock carries slightly above-average market sensitivity, making it a Dividend Aristocrat that suits income-focused investors who can tolerate some price volatility.
Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. pays out 135.3% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). The company's Tools & Storage segment serves both professional tradespeople and retail consumers across a broad global network, providing demand across multiple end markets, though that breadth alone does not offset a payout ratio that exceeds current earnings. Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. dividend safety is the central concern here: a payout ratio above 100% means the dividend is not covered by reported earnings, and any sustained earnings weakness would put the payment under direct pressure.
Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 5.1% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend grew from $1.64 to $3.30 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from this calculation). Growth has slowed materially in recent years: the smallest annual increase in the window was 1.2% in 2024, a sharp contrast to the peak increase of 10.0% recorded in 2013.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +1.2% | $3.18 (2022) | $3.30 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +3.5% | $2.78 (2020) | $3.30 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +4.4% | $2.14 (2015) | $3.30 (2025) |
SWK fits income-focused investors drawn to the industrial sector who prioritize a long dividend-increase streak over rapid payout growth. The yield of 3.61% is moderate (2-4%), sitting just above the stock's own 5-year average of 3.47%, which means current buyers are not getting a historically steep discount. Twenty-eight consecutive years of dividend increases earn SWK its Dividend Aristocrat status, a meaningful signal of management commitment. The trade-off is real: a payout ratio of 135.3% means the dividend is not covered by earnings today, and growth has slowed to a crawl, with the 2024 increase coming in at just 1.2%.
SWK is a Dividend Aristocrat with 28 consecutive years of dividend increases.
