("Stanley") (NYSE: SWK). The class action is on behalf of shareholders who purchased Stanley securities between October 28, 2021 and July 28, 2022, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

There is no cost or obligation to you.

The complaint alleges that Stanley made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: i) rising interest rates, inflation, and trends in returning to work away from home were quickly eroding demand for Stanley's tools and outdoor products; (ii) the heightened, extraordinary demand Stanley had enjoyed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 into 2022 no longer existed; (iii) Stanley's operations were already showing signs of slowing demand; (iv) as a result of the reorganization, share repurchasing, and dividend growth, Stanley lacked the cash to react with agility to changes in demand; and (v) as a result of Stanley's inability to react to a sharp decline in demand, the Company's results and metrics, particularly sales volume, were severely negatively impacted.

A lead plaintiff will act on behalf of all other class members in directing the Stanley class-action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the class-action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share any potential future recovery of the Stanley class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
