How has Tools & Accessories moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 2% ahead of S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 9% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 8 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
The Timken Company has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 66.6% evidence confidence.
The Toro Company looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
The Timken Company has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
The Timken Company has the highest Revenue among the 9 Tools & Accessories companies compared here, at $4,672 million. The Toro Company is next at $4,658 million. RBC Bearings Incorporated has the highest Revenue growth at 14.4%, so level and change sit with different companies. 5 of 9 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: The Timken Company is the scale leader at $4,672 million, 0.3% ahead of The Toro Company. RBC Bearings Incorporated's growth is 14.4% from a $1,871 million base, with 17 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

This conclusion weakens if: The Timken Company's growth falls below RBC Bearings Incorporated's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

It is not cash spent, so it answers a narrower question than CAPEX — but it is reported for companies whose cash-flow CAPEX is not published, which is why it leads here.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.
Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Tools & Accessories comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 5 of the 9 companies report on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so their ranks are marked stale. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
5 companies have older fundamental reporting dates than the sector’s freshest reporters; their ranks carry a stale marker.

Which companies are included?
All 9 companies in the canonical Tools & Accessories membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 9 Tools & Accessories companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Sep 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.
These 18 answers restate the Tools & Accessories comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 9 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Sep 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Tools & Accessories company is the biggest?
The Timken Company is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $4,672 million, ahead of The Toro Company at $4,658 million. That covers 5 of 9 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Tools & Accessories company is growing fastest?
RBC Bearings Incorporated has the fastest revenue growth at 14.4% year on year, across 5 of 9 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Tools & Accessories company has the best profit margins?
Snap-on Incorporated has the highest operating margin at 26.4%, from 9 of 9 comparable companies. Kennametal Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +4.3 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Tools & Accessories company makes the most profit?
Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. earns the most, at $538 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 6 of 9 comparable companies. Kennametal Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 27.4%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Tools & Accessories company earns the highest return on capital?
The Toro Company leads on return on capital employed at 7.4%, across 9 of 9 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Tools & Accessories stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — The Toro Company screens cheapest at 0.34×. Only 5 of 9 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Tools & Accessories company has the strongest balance sheet?
The Eastern Company carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $53 million, from 9 of 9 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Tools & Accessories company is investing most in new capacity?
Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. reports the largest capital spending at $59 million, across 9 of 9 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.
Is the Tools & Accessories sector beating the market?
Tools & Accessories has outperformed S&P 500 by 14.8% over the last 52 weeks and 4.5% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 7 of 9 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Tools & Accessories stock has the strongest price momentum?
The Timken Company has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Tools & Accessories company scores highest for research priority?
The Timken Company scores 62.6 out of 100 with 66.6% evidence confidence, from 16.3 points on growth and earnings, 12.5 on capital efficiency, 14.4 on valuation and 19.4 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Tools & Accessories companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 9 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals and 6 fiscal years of capital allocation, ending Sep 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
What is the total market cap of the Tools & Accessories sector?
The 9 Tools & Accessories companies on this page carry $92,420 million of combined market value. Snap-on Incorporated is the largest at $21,690 million, about 23% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-07-28.
What is the Tools & Accessories sector's P/E ratio?
The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 9 Tools & Accessories companies on this page is 25.7×, measured on the 9 that report a comparable figure.
