Natural Health Trends Q4 EPS $0.02 Down From $0.03 YoY, Sales $10.85M Down From $10.94M YoY

Stanley Black &amp; Decker Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWK#NYSE">SWK</a>) shares are trading lower after the company reported better-than-expected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43489206/stanley-black-decker-reports-4q-full-year-2024-results">fourth-quarter results and provided 2025 guidance.</a>
Stanley Black&nbsp;&amp; Decker&nbsp;reported a fourth-quarter sales decline of 0.43% year over year to $3.720 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $3.580 billion.
Quarterly net sales remained flat, as volume growth (+4%) was offset by declines in price (-1%), currency (-1%), and the Infrastructure divestiture (-2%).
Gross profit increased 3.6% to $1.144 billion, and the gross margin expanded by 120 basis points to 30.8%. The adjusted gross margin was 31.2%, up 140 bps YoY.
Net earnings from continuing operations were 5.2% of sales, up from a loss from continuing operations (7.4%) of sales in the prior year. EBITDA rose to 9.1% of sales from 4.2%, while adjusted EBITDA increased to 10.2% of sales from 9.4%.
Adjusted EPS of $1.49 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the analyst consensus of $1.27.</a>
Tools &amp; Outdoor net sales grew 2% YoY, with 4% volume growth offset by price (-1%) and currency (-1%), driving 3% organic revenue growth. Tools &amp; Outdoor segment margin was 9.2%, down 10 bps YoY, and adjusted segment&nbsp;margin rose to 10.2% (+20 bps), supported by supply chain transformation despite higher costs and growth investments.
Industrial net sales declined 15% YoY, with flat organic sales. Industrial&nbsp;segment margin dropped to 10.7% from 11.2% and an adjusted margin was 10.7% vs. 11.1%, primarily due to lower automotive volume.
Operating cash flow for the quarter was $679 million, compared to $769.3 million a year ago. Free cash flow was ~$565 million. Stanley held $290.5 million in cash and equivalents as of December 28, 2024.
In the fourth quarter, Stanley Black &amp; Decker&#8217;s Global Cost Reduction Program generated $110 million in additional pre-tax savings, contributing to total savings of approximately $1.5 billion since mid-2022 and supporting a return to 35%+ adjusted gross margins.
&#8220;With the recent tariff announcements, we are preparing for a dynamic backdrop in 2025 and expect to respond with supply chain and price actions designed to mitigate the impact from such tariffs to maintain our margin objectives, which enable us to fuel innovation and brand building. Our top priorities remain delivering margin expansion, cash generation and restoring balance sheet strength over the next 12 to 18 months to position the company for long-term growth and value creation,&#8221; commented Patrick D. Hallinan, Executive Vice President and CFO.
2025 Outlook: Excluding new tariffs, Stanley Black &amp; Decker expects GAAP EPS of $4.05 (+/- $0.65) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">adjusted EPS of $5.25 (+/- $0.50) versus consensus of $5.38.</a>
The GAAP-to-adjusted EPS difference of $1.05 to $1.35 mainly reflects charges from the Global Cost Reduction Program&#8217;s supply chain transformation.
The company sees free cash flow of $750 million (+/—$100 million), excluding new tariffs.
The company plans to provide its base planning assumptions and commentary on the current tariff environment. In its conference call, the company said it sees annualized, unmitigated hit of around $90 million &#8211; $100 million if 10% China tariffs remain.
Price Action: SWK shares are trading lower by 5.67% at $81.75 premarket at the last check Wednesday.

Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered on Wednesday predicted that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) could reach $500,000 before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43492011/exclusive-crypto-czar-charm-offensive-welcomed-but-experts-wonder-will-us-policy-deliver">end of Donald Trump's term</a>.
What Happened: Kendrick attributes this forecast to two key factors: improved investor access to Bitcoin under the current administration and a gradual decline in volatility due to maturing market infrastructure.
"Access is improving under the Trump administration. Institutional inflows will continue to gather pace," Kendrick wrote, highlighting the impact of spot Bitcoin ETFs and expanding options markets. 
"This combination—more access, lower vol—is enough to drive Bitcoin to $500,000 before Trump leaves office,&#8221; he added.
Meanwhile, institutional inflows into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/01/43249653/nasdaqs-bitcoin-etf-shift-could-strengthen-blackrocks-market-position">Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs</a> further underline the growing adoption of digital assets.
On Feb. 4, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a net inflow of $341 million, with BlackRock's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) ETF alone receiving $249 million.
Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) ETFs saw a net inflow of $308 million, marking the fourth consecutive day of positive flows for the asset.
These numbers highlight increasing confidence among institutional investors, despite recent market turbulence. 
Kendrick said that improved access through vehicles like ETFs is critical for Bitcoin's long-term trajectory, as it provides broader exposure for traditional finance participants.

Why It Matters: Recent volatility in traditional and crypto markets has tested investor sentiment.
The U.S.-China tariff war continues to dominate headlines, creating uncertainty across asset classes. While Bitcoin has shown resilience, holding above the $90,000 mark, concerns about geopolitical shocks remain.
"The delay in tariffs against Mexico and Canada has provided some relief to crypto markets," QCP Capital noted but cautioned that Bitcoin is still vulnerable to negative price shocks given the lack of near-term catalysts. 
The firm also highlighted the ongoing development of regulatory frameworks, such as stablecoin legislation and a Strategic <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43489967/the-trump-bitcoin-reserve-ushers-in-golden-age#:~:text=The%20Bitcoin%20Reserve%20Act%20requires,the%20course%20of%20criminal%20investigations.">Bitcoin Reserve</a> (SBR) task force, as long-term <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43477333/crypto-czar-sacks-says-potential-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-one-of-crypto-committees-first-priorities\">positives for the crypto industry.</a>

JPMorgan analysts Claudia Hueston and Pedro Martins just dropped a major AI ripple effect report, and the verdict is clear: DeepSeek's latest LLM is shaking up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">the tech hierarchy</a>.
With the promise of slashing training and inference costs, some companies stand to gain big, while others might be in for a rough ride.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Winners: The AI Powerhouses</h2>
The bullish camp — tagged under JPMorgan's DeepSeek Positive Impact — is a who's who of AI titans and cloud leaders. Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) top the list, unsurprisingly, given their AI ambitions.
But the wave also lifts Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) and Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) — all crucial to AI infrastructure. Even software players like Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), Databricks rival Confluent Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFLT#NASDAQ">CFLT</a>) and GitLab Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTLB#NASDAQ">GTLB</a>) look poised to benefit from AI-powered cost efficiencies.
The key theme? AI is moving from experimental to execution mode, and companies that enable inferencing and data management stand to gain.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Losers: The Hardware Setback</h2>
On the flip side, JPMorgan's DeepSeek Negative Impact list puts companies like Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) in the danger zone. With cheaper and more efficient AI models, legacy hardware players could see slower demand for expensive, high-power training chips. 
Even industrial giants like Caterpillar Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) and Cummins Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>) might take a hit if AI-driven automation undercuts traditional heavy machinery investments.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway: AI's Next Economic Shift</h2>
While hyperscalers are still throwing money at AI hardware, DeepSeek's disruption could eventually tilt the value proposition toward application-layer innovation. 
Companies that enable seamless AI adoption—think Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), Shopify Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) and CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>)—could see an acceleration in demand, while those overly reliant on expensive, legacy infrastructure may need a strategy refresh.

Private employers created 183,000 new jobs in January 2025, marking a slight acceleration from December&#8217;s upwardly revised 176,000 and beating market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">expectations of 150,000. </a>
The ADP National Employment Report, released Wednesday by Automatic Data Processing Inc., highlighted continued resilience in the private labor market ahead of Friday's highly anticipated non-farm payrolls report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Economists expect the government report to show a slowdown in hiring, with forecasts predicting a decline from December's 256,000 to 170,000 new jobs.
Nela Richardson, ADP&#8217;s chief economist, said: &#8220;We had a strong start to 2025 but it masked a dichotomy in the labor market. Consumer-facing industries drove hiring, while job growth was weaker in business services and production.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Where Did Jobs Grow in January?</h3>
The latest data revealed a divergence in job creation, with gains concentrated in service-providing industries, while goods-producing sectors continued to lag.
Goods-producing industries shed 6,000 jobs in January, driven by a 13,000 payroll reduction in manufacturing. This marked the fourth consecutive month of job losses in the sector.
Service-providing industries, on the other hand, added 190,000 positions. Trade, transportation, and utilities led the way with 56,000 new jobs, while leisure and hospitality followed closely, adding 54,000 positions.
December&#8217;s private employment growth was also revised upward to 184,000, exceeding the consensus estimate of 150,000 tracked by TradingEconomics.
The ADP report signaled ongoing moderation in wage growth. Pay increases for job stayers in January edged up 4.7% year-over-year, while job changers saw salary gains of 6.8%, down from 7.1% in December.
These figures suggest that while the labor market remains strong, wage pressures are easing—a key factor for the Federal Reserve as it assesses the timing of potential interest rate cuts in 2025.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) – as tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) – inched slightly higher minutes after the release, trimming losses for the day. 
Futures on major U.S. indices edged lower during premarket trading in New York. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was 0.4% lower by 8:25 a.m. ET. 
Shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) were 2.4% and 7.2% lower, respectively, weighing on tech-heavy indices. 
Gold – tracked by SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) – continued to extend record highs, with the bullion rising to $2,870 per ounce, approaching double-digit gains year-to-date.

Private Employment Rises By 183,000, Beats Estimates In January: 'Consumer-Facing Industries Drove Hiring'

Atlassian's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEAM#NYSE">TEAM</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.72% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.49 million shares sold short, which is 2.79% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.45 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Atlassian Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1738763250_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Atlassian has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Atlassian's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Atlassian's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.02%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
