Donaldson has been witnessing weakness in the on-road and off-road businesses. Lower levels of equipment production owing to softness in industrial markets, particularly in the United States and China, are affecting the on-road business. Weakness in agriculture markets and soft end-market demand in China have been impacting the off-road business. Also, challenged market conditions in dust collection and power generation verticals within the industrial filtration solutions business remain concerning.

Shares of companies in the broader industrial space are trading higher following the Fed's announcement to cut rates by 50 basis points yesterday, which could support investment and economic growth.

Stanley Black &amp; Decker, Inc.&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/swk#NYSE">SWK</a>) cost-reduction program is expected to aid its bottom line and drive margin performance in the quarters ahead. The program comprises a series of initiatives to resize the organization, reduce inventory and optimize the supply chain with the goal of repositioning it to pursue sustainable long-term growth.
In the first six months of 2024 and since the inception of the program, SWK realized pre-tax run rate savings of $295 million and $1.3 billion, respectively. The savings were driven by lower headcount, reductions of indirect spending and supply-chain transformation.
Stanley Black has been divesting non-core operations to drive growth. In April 2024, the company divested its STANLEY Infrastructure (Infrastructure) business to Epiroc AB for a cash consideration of $760 million. The divestment will help the company to focus on its core businesses, reduce debt and support capital-allocation priorities.
It remains focused on rewarding its shareholders through dividend payments and share buybacks. In the first six months of 2024, the firm paid dividends of $243.6 million, up 1.7% year over year. It also bought back shares worth $7.7 million. In July 2024, SWK hiked its quarterly dividend by a penny to 82 cents per share.
<h2>SWK&#39;s Price Performance</h2>
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/9c/77848.jpg?v=1064530480" />

In the past three months, the Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company has gained 20.2% compared with the industry&#39;s&nbsp; 9.4% growth.
Despite the positives, lower consumer outdoor and do-it-yourself market demand is a concern for the Tools &amp; Outdoor segment. Within the segment, the power tools business has been experiencing weaknesses due to reduced demand for consumer tools. Weakening automotive end markets, owing to headwinds in the global automotive OEM light vehicle production, are another setback.
Further, the low liquidity level remains a concern. Exiting the second quarter, the company&#39;s cash and cash equivalents were $318.5 million, lower than the short-term borrowings of $492.4 million. Its current maturities of long-term debt totaled $500.1 million. This implies that SWK does not have sufficient cash to meet its current debt obligations. Also, the stock looks more leveraged than the industry. Its long-term debt/capital ratio is currently 0.39, higher than 0.36 of the industry.

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.
