Headquartered in Kenosha, WI, Snap-on Incorporated (SNA - Free Report) is a global provider of tools, equipment, and related solutions for technicians, vehicle service centers, original equipment manufacturers and other industrial users. The company divides its operations in four segments: Snap-on Tools Group, Commercial & Industrial Group, Repair Systems & Information Group and Financial Services segment.
Snap-on’s overarching business model, which aims to maximize value-creation by focusing on areas like safety, quality of service, customer satisfaction and innovation, has emerged as a tried and tested growth driver. In this regard, the rapid improvement process, designed to improve organizational efficiency and slash costs, including working capital requirements, has helped Snap-on improve sales, margins and savings over the past few quarters.
Despite these positives, ongoing softness in industrial markets has significantly affected client spending, marring the company’s prospects. Also, sluggish oil and gas market pose as concerns for the company.
However, SNA has a decent earnings track record, and has delivered an average positive earnings surprise of 1.9% in the last four trailing quarters, beating estimates all through.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
