Snap-On Inc (SNA) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy and $50,000-$100,000 available for investment. While the company has stable financials, a strong dividend history, and a recession-resistant business model, the lack of significant positive trading signals, mixed analyst ratings, and limited upside potential in the short term suggest holding off on buying at the current pre-market price of $378.55.
The technical indicators show a neutral to slightly bullish trend. The MACD is above 0 and positively contracting, the RSI is neutral at 58.793, and the moving averages are bullish (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200). The stock is trading near its pivot level of $374.933, with resistance at $386.41 and support at $363.456.
Stable dividend history since 1939, with a recent quarterly dividend of $2.44 per share.
Recession-resistant business model and strong market position.
Positive Q4 financial performance with YoY increases in revenue, net income, and EPS.
Mixed analyst ratings, with some firms lowering price targets and maintaining underperform or neutral ratings.
Flattened revenue growth in the Tools segment due to soft repair technician confidence.
Stock trend analysis suggests limited short-term upside potential (-4.22% in the next week, -0.92% in the next month).
In Q4 2025, Snap-On reported a 3.13% YoY increase in revenue to $1.3399 billion, a 1.01% YoY increase in net income to $260.7 million, and a 2.49% YoY increase in EPS to $4.94. However, gross margin dropped slightly by -0.55% YoY to 50.74%.
Analyst ratings are mixed. Roth Capital raised the price target to $409 and maintained a Buy rating, citing the company's durability and recession-resistant demand. However, BofA lowered the price target to $294 and maintained an Underperform rating, while Baird raised the price target to $375 but kept a Neutral rating.
