Stanley Black & Decker Inc
Stanley Black & Decker Inc has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.76, indicating a moderate level of leverage, and a current ratio of 1.27, suggesting limited short-term liquidity cushion. The company's free cash flow is negative at -73.2 million USD, and its operating cash flow is 142 million USD, which is insufficient to cover capital expenditures of 152.9 million USD. This implies that the company is currently investing more in capital expenditures than it is generating in free cash flow.

Its return on equity is -0.13%, and its return on assets is -0.05%, both significantly below the industry median for industrial machinery and equipment firms.

While the input data does not provide a year-over-year growth rate, the negative net income and weak returns suggest a challenging operating environment.
