Three industrial stocks may suit investors worried about a market crash: Waste Management, Lockheed Martin, and Stanley Black & Decker. Undervalued stocks tend to hold up better in pullbacks than high-flying growth stocks. Waste Management (WM) reported second-quarter revenue up 4% to $6.7 billion. Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 23, below its five-year average of 27, and its dividend yield is 1.8%. Lockheed Martin's second-quarter revenue rose 11% to $20 billion, with a record backlog of $230 billion. Its forward P/E is 15, against a five-year average of 17, and it yields 2.7%. Stanley Black & Decker yields 3.8% and has a forward P/E of 14, below its five-year average of 16. It has cut debt and costs, reporting about $2.1 billion of pre-tax run-rate savings.
Dewalt Cordless Drill deals persist beyond Prime Day. Key takeaways. * The **DeWalt** 20V MAX Cordless Drill and Impact Driver set remains discounted at $138.99, retaining a 38% price reduction from its standard $239.00 list price following October Prime Day. * This hardware kit features compact lithium-ion batteries weighing approximately 12 ounces, significantly reducing user fatigue compared to legacy corded power tools. * Modern ergonomic improvements include integrated LED worklights and one-handed bit tip loading mechanisms designed for efficiency in residential and light commercial projects. TrendPulse analysis. Industry context. The enduring discount on the DeWalt power tool bundle highlights a broader shift in the retail and lifestyle sectors toward prolonged promotional lifecycles. Major manufacturers like **Stanley Black & Decker**, the parent company of DeWalt, increasingly rely on extended promotional pricing windows to capture market share from competitors such as **Milwaukee Tool** and **Makita**. As consumer spending faces inflationary pressures, tool brands are utilizing aggressive discounting strategies well past official shopping holidays to maintain high inventory turnover. Furthermore, the rapid evolution of battery technology has commoditized baseline performance, forcing legacy brands to compete fiercely on price-to-value ratios rather than technological exclusivity alone. For industry observers and real estate professionals, the widespread adoption of standardized cordless platforms indicates a permanent migration away from corded alternatives in both consumer and light professional markets. Home improvement retailers like **The Home Depot** and **Lowe's** now structure their promotional calendars around continuous ecosystem adoption rather than isolated transaction spikes. By lowering the barrier to entry for multi-tool lithium-ion kits, manufacturers successfully lock consumers into proprietary battery platforms, driving long-term ecosystem loyalty and accessory purchases. This ecosystem-driven retail model mirrors software-as-a-service strategies translated into physical hardware. Why this matters. For industry investors and retail analysts, post-Prime Day pricing persistence signals shifting inventory management dynamics. Brands are aggressively clearing warehouse space ahead of the critical year-end holiday shopping surge, creating unique value opportunities for value-conscious consumers and independent contractors. Understanding these promotional cycles allows procurement managers and DIY enthusiasts to time capital expenditures effectively. Moreover, the convergence of high performance and lightweight ergonomics in consumer-grade tools blurs the traditional line between professional and residential hardware categories, expanding the total addressable market for tier-one tool manufacturers. Stakeholders monitoring the home improvement sector should anticipate heightened promotional frequency across all major e-commerce channels. As digital-first retail continues to dictate consumer price expectations, manufacturers must balance margin protection with volume-driven sales models. Consumers and small business operators benefit directly from this competitive pressure, gaining access to commercial-grade engineering at accessible price points. Ultimately, strategic purchasing decisions during these extended discount windows maximize return on investment for tooling fleets, whether for residential maintenance or light commercial contracting. The bottom line. Lingering post-Prime Day discounts on essential power tool kits demonstrate that aggressive hardware promotions are expanding beyond traditional holiday windows to capture value-driven consumers. Decision-makers should leverage these extended pricing opportunities to modernize equipment fleets without paying premium list prices. Read the full article.

DEWALT(R) releases survey about how next generation of workers perceive skilled careers. Sep 22, 2026, 18:01 ET * DEWALT(R) surveys 500 WorldSkills competitors across 60+ countries and regions on the future of skilled careers, workforce readiness and training * Survey identified gap between improving perception of skilled trades and their contribution to the economy and encouragement to enter vocational careers * President and CEO of Stanley Black & Decker, Chris Nelson, to discuss the essential role skilled tradespeople play in today's economy and how to support next generation of skilled trades at WorldSkills Shanghai Competition 2026 TOWSON, Md., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Ahead of WorldSkills Shanghai 2026, the world's premier skilled trades competition, DEWALT(R), a Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) brand, surveyed over 500 WorldSkills competitors representing more than 60 countries and regions about the future of skilled careers, workforce readiness and training. The survey revealed that the next generation of trades professionals recognize their importance and contributions to the global economy, but simultaneously also perceive a disconnect between the importance of their work and the pathways available to enter the field. According to the survey results, 76% of respondents say technical and vocational skills are increasingly important to the global economy, yet 51% believe too few young people are entering the trades. 71% of respondents also noted that while the public image of technical and vocational careers has improved, 52% were still encouraged toward more traditional academic paths, compared to just 14% who were encouraged toward technical and vocational careers. "The real economy runs on skilled labor - across housing, transportation, manufacturing, energy, and digital infrastructure - and global demand for these professionals continues to rise. As an industry, we have a responsibility not only to celebrate the people who power these essential sectors, but also to invest in creating pathways into the skilled trades," said Chris Nelson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Stanley Black & Decker. "Through DEWALT's Grow the Trades program and partnerships with organizations like WorldSkills, we are working to raise awareness of these rewarding careers and expand access for the next generation of skilled tradespeople." Key Survey Takeaways * The future is being built by skilled workers. Three-quarters (76%) of respondents say technical and vocational skills are increasingly important to the global economy, yet 51% believe too few young people are entering the trades. Respondents point to barriers that begin early: 45% say young people are not exposed to skilled career opportunities soon enough, while 53% say they felt pressure to pursue a university or traditional academic career. * The perception of skilled careers is improving, but the pathways into the trades have not caught up. While 71% said the public image of technical and vocational careers has improved, 52% were still encouraged toward more traditional academic paths, compared to just 14% who were encouraged toward technical and vocational careers. * Growing the pipeline starts with earlier exposure and more accessible routes in. When asked how to encourage more young people to pursue skilled careers, 45% selected more opportunities to try skilled work firsthand and 38% selected more paid apprenticeships or earn-while-you-learn pathways. Additionally, 88% of respondents said financial assistance is important to making technical or vocational education more attainable. "Skilled careers are the engine of economies everywhere, and this generation of competitors understands that. They are not waiting to be told trades matter - they are proving it, with new technology as one more set of tools in their hands," said David Hoey, CEO of WorldSkills International. Supporting American Skilled Trades at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 As a premium partner and tools sponsor for WorldSkills International, and platinum sponsor of WorldSkills Shanghai 2026, DEWALT is proud to support its mission to equip the next generation of skilled professionals with the training, experience and opportunities needed to succeed.
