Snap-on Tops Q3 Estimates on Solid Sales and EPS Growth

Snap-on Incorporated (NYSE:SNA) posted stronger-than-expected third-quarter 2025 results on Thursday, beating Wall Street forecasts on both earnings and revenue. The stock slipped slightly by 0.20% in pre-market trading following the announcement.

The company reported earnings per share of $5.02, topping analyst expectations by $0.39, while revenue came in at $1.19 billion, ahead of the $1.16 billion consensus estimate. Sales grew 3.8% year over year, with organic sales rising 3.0%. EPS included a $0.31 per-share benefit from a legal settlement, compared to $4.70 in the same quarter of 2024.

“Our third quarter was encouraging, as it demonstrates our continuing momentum in meeting and overcoming the considerable uncertainty and the unprecedented trade turbulence of these days,” said Nick Pinchuk, Snap-on chairman and chief executive officer. “Despite the current volatility of this time, we believe our results show the diverse opportunities along our runways for growth in activities both within automotive repair and with customers outside the garage.”

Among business segments, the Repair Systems & Information Group led performance with an 8.9% organic sales increase, while the Snap-on Tools Group posted a modest 1.0% gain. The Commercial & Industrial Group experienced a slight organic sales decline of 0.8%.

Profitability remained strong, with gross margin holding at 50.9% and operating earnings as a percentage of revenue improving to 26.9%, up from 26.0% a year earlier.

Snap-on reaffirmed its full-year 2025 guidance, including expected capital expenditures of about $100 million and an effective tax rate in the 22% to 23% range.
