Barclays downgraded Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) from Overweight to Equalweight with a price target of $75.00.

Analyst, Stephen Kim, said, "We believe that remodelling demand is being constrained by drastically reduced home equity and the recent weakening of consumer confidence. For, as strong as the residential construction market has been, it largely stands alone against a host of weakening economic statistics."
