Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04. ### Strongest one-year price performers 1. Kennametal Inc. (KMT): 78% 2. The Timken Company (TKR): 78% 3. Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (SWK): 48% 4. RBC Bearings Incorporated (RBC): 42% 5. The Toro Company (TTC): 34% ### Strongest relative strength versus NIFTY 500 1. The Timken Company (TKR): 19% 2. Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (SWK): 18% 3. Kennametal Inc. (KMT): 4.0% 4. Snap-on Incorporated (SNA): 3.4% 5. The Eastern Company (EML): 3.2% ## Revenue Scale & Growth Durability What the numbers say: The Timken Company is the scale leader at $4,672 million, 0.3% ahead of The Toro Company. Kennametal Inc.'s growth is 7.2% from a $2,137 million base, with 18 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale. Investor read: The Timken Company is the scale benchmark; Kennametal Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns. This conclusion weakens if: The Timken Company's growth falls below Kennametal Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses. Evidence: The Timken Company · $4,672 million | 0.3% versus #2 · The Toro Company | 3/8 recent comparable periods | 3/9 companies · 154 observations Definition: Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress. ### Revenue — largest 1. The Timken Company (TKR): ₹4.7K Cr — older report 2. The Toro Company (TTC): ₹4.7K Cr 3.

Only 3 of 9 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree. Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal. Evidence: The Toro Company · 0.34× | 46% versus #2 · The Timken Company | 0/8 recent comparable periods | 3/9 companies · 24 observations Definition: PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing. ### PEG — lowest PEG 1.

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. - 3 companies have older fundamental reporting dates than the sector’s freshest reporters; their ranks carry a stale marker. ## Every company - Snap-on Incorporated (SNA) — market value ₹21.6K Cr; latest fundamentals Sep 2026 - RBC Bearings Incorporated (RBC) — market value ₹17.9K Cr; latest fundamentals Jun 2026 - Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.

The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation. ### Which Tools & Accessories company has the lowest comparable PEG? The Toro Company has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.34, among 3 of 9 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything. ### How much history does this Tools & Accessories comparison include? The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Sep 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated. ### How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated? The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral. ### 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 3 of 9 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026. ### 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? The Toro Company earns the most, at $340 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 4 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 PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — The Toro Company screens cheapest at 0.34×. Only 3 of 9 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, 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. ### Is the Tools & Accessories sector beating the market? Tools & Accessories has outperformed S&P 500 by 14.2% over the last 52 weeks and 4.9% 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? Kennametal Inc. scores 62.4 out of 100 with 65.9% evidence confidence, from 22.8 points on growth and earnings, 13.2 on capital efficiency, 16.5 on valuation and 9.9 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?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown.
