barrons3	We had a big move in tools and cabinets, kitchen and baths and then a stall-out. Now, with Black & Decker (BDK), they are back in business. Why not buy some Whirlpool (WHR) or Fortune Brands (FO). They should be able to pull off a Black & Decker, too!	Love	October 15, 2009
barrons3	So, how does Black & Decker (BDK) fit into a "less bad" prism? I think that at $40 you had to be betting that things were getting darned good. (In fact, as with Home Depot, Best Buy's "upside" was largely derived from expense control.) At $29, Black & Decker is all about "less bad." And in the low $20s, where it was, you had a "getting worse" scenario.	Love	June 18, 2009

barrons3	Those who believe the stimulus will work can buy Black & Decker (BDK) or ITT (ITT) or Hewlett-Packard (HPQ). They can buy Ingersoll Rand (IR) and Freeport-McMoRan (FCX).	Love	December 18, 2008
barrons3	Maybe even some heavy duty ones: Black & Decker (BDK), Fortune Brands (FO) and the dreaded twosome, Masco (MAS) and Ethan Allen (ETH) because the dividends feel, uh, Freeport-McMoRan (FCX)-like.	Love	December 04, 2008

sarah z	“Here's three stocks making nice moves that seem to have bottomed: Fortune Brands (FO), Masco (MAS) and Black & Decker (BDK). These unlikely three, all early-cycle stocks, have been moving up with the HGX and are really starting to break out, particularly Masco. These are all fine firms that have been clubbed relentlessly because of their exposure to housing, but, alas, might be generating some performance for a bit. I owned Black & Decker for Action Alerts Plus but got in it too soon before the huge downturn in housing that occurred before the July 15 bottom. You can see that it got to the mid $50s and then was able to top relentlessly lowered earnings estimates, which led to a nice move. It's just had a little retracement, but acts well now. In fact it acts a bit like Sears (SHLD). Masco bottomed right on July 15th--boy was that day bad--and it has had a monster move, the only one of these that seems to have come too far too fast, considering it's just really a glorified cabinet and bathroom appliance maker. But it is a well run one. The stock that might be most intriguing but has been a big disappointment is Fortune Brands, a company addicted to buying back stock that has a liquor division that should be helping it more, as you can see from looking at a chart of Brown Forman (BF). This one, if you can handle some earnings shade down that some bull might have to give you on the sell side, is probably the most attractive of the three. I wish it didn't have that golf division. Golf without Tiger is sinking fast. But that's probably not enough to cause a further decline in the numbers. I think this group is still another one that people want to rotate back to because the multiples are so cheap and the downside seemingly quantified by what might be a 2009 housing bottom. If we have 300 days left of housing pain--my stick the neck out call--I think it is too early to load the boat up. But this group seems to be a good one to go to on the next big bank failure. One by one, the bottoms get put in even after the action overall remains one step forward and another step back. And don't think the shorts that hate this market have gone away for a minute. You get one more round of whacks at a Lehman (LEH) or a Citigroup (C) or a Goldman (GS). Remember, all but one analyst has to cut numbers severely, plus a rumor that the FDIC is broke coupled with a Barron's article that says Fannie Mae (FNM) common gets wiped out--remember that?--and you get a chance at lower prices.

barrons2	It has to matter that Deere has taken out 10% of its stock in the last four years. It does matter that Black & Decker (BDK) has eliminated almost 20% of its equity. Emerson's taken out 5%, same with Boeing (BA). There's just a huge amount of equity being shrunk.	Love	July 17, 2008

barrons2	Now, with the financials on the rise again, other sectors can follow. Cramer recommended Costco (COST), Deckers (DECK) and Black and Decker (BDK) saying retailers and the items they sell are buys.	Love	March 26, 2008

sarah z	The tool and hardware manufacturer said it will add 4 million shares to its existing buyback plan. This year, the Towson, Md.-based company has already retuned 5.4 million shares to stockholders, and with the new addition, 4.9 million shares remain authorized for repurchase. These large buybacks hint that BDK's board believes the stock is cheap, down 17% since mid July, and that investing in its own stock will provide a substantial return. Black and Decker shares have been flat recently, but a longer-term investor should find the stock attractive at current levels. The unknown magnitude and timing of the revival in the housing market creates a rewarding situation for BDK holders. And if the housing market recovers sooner rather then later, you’re going to want to own BDK. It is also good to remember that Black & Decker is the largest power tool company in the world, who controls market share in the consumer and professional markets. The company boasts 11% EPS growth since 2000 and a solid balance sheet with plenty of free cash flow. Management's focus on outsourcing has reduced fixed assets by 4% since 2001 while revenue has increased 50%.	Love	October 24, 2007
barrons2	The two I would highlight if you believe in this rally are Masco and Black & Decker. I don't' trust either, but they have marked time enough to make something happen.	Love	October 03, 2007
