However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Stanley Black-and-Decker shares which in turn could have impacted Stanley Black-and-Decker's share price.

This would suggest that Stanley Black-and-Decker's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
