Stanley Retools Production To Move Out Of China
Despite near-term tariff headwinds, I believe SWK's management has a clear mitigation plan, targeting full China exit and USMCA compliance by 2027. Cost savings, SG&A cuts, and product line disposals support stable margins and $500M+ free cash flow guidance for 2025, underpinning the 4.64% dividend yield. SWK's strong brand portfolio and scale position it to weather economic volatility and outperform peers, even amid construction and automotive sector softness.

69 May Aristocrats: Buy 1 Of 38 "Safer" Dividend Dogs
Many S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats remain overvalued, but select high-yield 'Dogs' like Realty Income and Amcor offer attractive entry points for income investors. Analyst forecasts suggest the top ten Aristocrat Dogs could deliver 16% to 38% net gains by May 2026, with average risk below the market. Caution: Fourteen Aristocrats have negative free cash flow margins, making their dividends less secure despite high yields—focus on 'safer' picks like Hormel.
