Ws 0.24B Volume Ranks 393rd as GWW Dips 0.25%

On August 28, 2025, W (Illinois Tool Works Inc.) traded with a volume of 0.24 billion, ranking 393rd in the market. Meanwhile, GWW (W.W. Grainger, Inc.) declined by 0.25%.

Illinois Tool Works, a global industrial machinery provider, operates across automotive, food equipment, welding, and polymers sectors. Recent performance highlights a trailing P/E ratio of 23.43 and a forward P/E of 25.58, reflecting moderate valuation. The company’s profit margin of 21.31% and ROE of 109.02% underscore strong operational efficiency. However, its PEG ratio of 4.11 suggests potential overvaluation relative to earnings growth expectations.

Market dynamics indicate mixed momentum. The stock’s 6.09% year-to-date return lags behind the S&P 500’s 10.55%, while its 9.49% one-year return also trails the benchmark. Elevated debt-to-equity (278.33%) and levered free cash flow of $2.33 billion signal a balance sheet with both liquidity and leverage risks. Sector peers like Dover Corporation and Emerson Electric showed varied movements, but no direct catalysts for W’s performance were identified in the provided data.
