Stanley Black & Decker Announces Agreement to Sell Excel Industries to Bad Boy Mowers

$SWKPress releaseSep 4, 2026, 2:09 PM ETRead the release

Stanley Black & Decker has signed a definitive agreement to sell Excel Industries, maker of Hustler-brand professional ride-on and zero-turn mowers, to Bad Boy Mowers. Excel is expected to generate approximately $300 million of revenue in FY 2026. Management frames the sale as portfolio refinement that concentrates resources on its biggest brands, including Cub Cadet, DEWALT, Craftsman, and Troy-Bilt, with emphasis on high-growth electric outdoor products. The transaction is not expected to be dilutive to adjusted EPS, and Excel will remain in continuing operations until closing.
