How to read these numbers

Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.

Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.

No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.

Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.

Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.

Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2026 Q2

does this give you your first foray into the Class A truck business with a database like that?

M&AInnovation & R&DTranscript · FY2026 Q2 →
Show response

Nick said Diesel Laptops provides Snap-on's first heavy-duty truck database, enhancing distribution and data; the deal added $4.7 million of partial-month sales and is EPS but not margin accretive.

Calendar 2026 Q1

Could you maybe just talk about how much tool storage was up year-over-year

DemandRevenue GrowthTranscript · FY2026 Q1 →
Show response

Pinchuk declined to give a specific percentage but confirmed tool storage was one of the leading categories, up more than the segment average. Cautioned against reading too much into one quarter but expressed feeling good about it.

are you seeing increased demand from the data center market for specific tool kits

DemandRevenue GrowthTranscript · FY2026 Q1 →
Show response

Pinchuk confirmed demand from data center construction for specific tools and being asked to quote on projects. Still early and uncertain where it goes long-term but represents a new emerging end market for C&I critical industries.

Do you attribute that to some of what you've done strategically with shorter payback products

DemandCompetitive DynamicsTranscript · FY2026 Q1 →
Show response

Pinchuk attributed franchisee optimism to both better-matched product offerings and improving demand conditions. Recent conversations with franchisees were notably positive, none complained about selling difficulty, which has happened in past quarters. Believes both strategy and demand are in play.

Calendar 2025 Q3

Is there any you know, is there a correlation that you can look at? Or, I mean, is that all over the place?

Show response

Pinchuk admitted SFC orders don't reliably predict sales, sometimes great orders don't translate and vice versa. This year tried smaller packages to reduce cancellations. Good orders spread into Q4.

what impacted FX have on EPS this quarter?

Show response

FX impact was 1 cent negative. On OEM dealerships, Pinchuk cited constant drumbeat of complexity-driven upgrades plus new models and EV-to-ICE pivots. RS&I long-term growth target of 4-6% with OEM component seen as solid.

Calendar 2025 Q2

in the C and I group, I think you called out that the international operations, you know, were sluggish. Did The US kinda mimic that

Geographic ExpansionDemandTranscript · FY2025 Q2 →
Show response

Pinchuk detailed how Asia is severely disrupted (China tariffs, South Korea political crisis, Thailand PM ousted), Europe has GDP problems, and U.S. critical industries affected by project delays post-Liberation Day. Orders kept coming but customers delayed deliveries.

Did you call out what the FX impact on earnings per share was for the quarter?

Show response

Aldo confirmed 6 cents negative FX impact on EPS. Pinchuk then detailed Triton at ~$4,500-5,000 price point, positioned between Zeus and Apollo, with wireless speed matching wired, zoom capability on lab scope, 8-hour battery, and 4x memory.

Calendar 2025 Q1

you mentioned in your opening comments about the fact that hours worked were down. Yeah. By technicians as well in the quarter

DemandLabor MarketTranscript · FY2025 Q1 →
Show response

Pinchuk clarified trailing twelve was up but last couple months down about 3.3%, likely elective maintenance deferred. Noted their customer base operates in a different FICO zip code than stronger consumer data suggests.

did things really accelerate on the downside starting in March? You know, one could take away from what you were saying that a lot of the impact in the Tools Group

Trade TariffsDemandTranscript · FY2025 Q1 →
Show response

Pinchuk pushed back that it wasn't just tariffs, broader government disruption concerns predated tariff announcements. Characterized the quarter as uniformly weak rather than accelerating downward.
