Fastenal Company · FAST · NASDAQ · Industrials · Industrial - Distribution
Research dated 2026-09-12: Fastenal supplies manufacturers, maintenance departments and nonresidential contractors with fasteners and a much broader catalog of industrial and construction consumables through a dense distribution network. The case rests on whether rising customer activity can keep lifting profit while hub investment and weaker cash conversion absorb more cash.

What is Fastenal Company (FAST), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
Fastenal is not merely a seller of bolts, nuts and screws. Its catalog also covers anchors, framing systems, wire rope, rivets and other hardware used in manufacturing, equipment servicing and construction, while its customers range from original equipment manufacturers and maintenance departments to contractors, transportation operators, miners and public bodies.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Fastenal is not merely a seller of bolts, nuts and screws. Its catalog also covers anchors, framing systems, wire rope, rivets and other hardware used in manufacturing, equipment servicing and construction, while its customers range from original equipment manufacturers and maintenance departments to contractors, transportation operators, miners and public bodies.
Reported revenue therefore measures purchases of recurring industrial supplies as well as construction-related materials across an extensive network of in-market facilities and distribution centers. The breadth of that customer base makes factory activity, maintenance demand and nonresidential project work more informative than fastener demand alone.
What do the latest results show for Fastenal Company (FAST)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q2 FY2026, carried revenue of $2.39B.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Sales, gross profit, operating profit, net income and diluted earnings per share all rose from the preceding period and from the comparable period. Operating profit advanced faster than gross profit, pointing to better absorption of selling and administrative expense rather than gross-margin expansion as the nearer source of profit growth.
Recent reported revenue also exceeded the prevailing estimate, while earnings per share landed slightly above expectations. Management separately says capital spending will remain toward the higher end of its investment range as Fastenal adds hub capacity; that is a statement about the distribution platform, not an explanation for the reported sales gain.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

USD. The operating result is the FMP-standardized value supplied by FMP; it may differ from a filing’s GAAP loss from operations when the provider classifies separately presented items differently. It is not net income or cash flow.

What are the financial strengths and risks for Fastenal Company (FAST)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $0.00 at the Jun 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. This figure does not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Fastenal combines strong liquidity ratios, low debt relative to equity and high returns on assets and equity. Distress screens also indicate substantial financial resilience, although cash and short-term investments remain below total debt and the cash balance has declined across the reported window.
Cash generation is the sharper near-term concern. Operating cash flow dropped markedly in the latest period even as net income increased, while capital expenditure remained material; continued hub investment can keep conversion below accounting profit.
The market valuation leaves less room for operational slippage: earnings and free-cash-flow yields are modest while earnings, sales and book-value multiples are elevated. Softer purchasing by manufacturers or nonresidential contractors would test expense absorption across Fastenal’s broad distribution footprint.
Data-derived red flags
- Inconsistent delivery — missed Wall Street EPS estimates in 3 of the last 8 reported quarters.
- Rich valuation — a P/E of 43.01 runs well above the Industrials sector’s ~29.50x, leaving little room for a miss.
What should you watch next at Fastenal Company (FAST)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Oct 14, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
The upcoming release should be read through revenue, gross profit, selling and administrative expense, and operating profit together. Revenue meeting the current expectation would matter more if operating expense again grows more slowly than gross profit; renewed gross-margin pressure or weaker expense absorption would change the character of the recent profit improvement.
Cash conversion deserves equal attention. A rebound in operating cash flow alongside elevated hub spending would support the economics of the expansion, whereas another weak conversion period accompanied by lower cash would make the investment pace more consequential.
Longer-range analyst estimates assume continuing advances in revenue and earnings per share. Each report can test that trajectory without treating the estimates as company guidance.

How does Fastenal Company compare with its peers?
Short answer
Fastenal Company's score ranks 3rd of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
A fastener specialist would rise or fall mainly with demand and pricing for fastening products. Fastenal instead distributes a broad basket of industrial and construction supplies to original equipment manufacturers, maintenance operations, contractors and other industrial users through in-market facilities backed by major distribution centers.
That structure makes customer purchasing frequency, product breadth and network throughput central comparison points against industrial distributors. Fastener demand still matters, but it does not describe the full revenue engine.

FAST Industrials Stock FAQ
Research dated 2026-09-12; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 3 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
Does Fastenal sell only fasteners?
Fasteners are central to the brand, but the catalog extends to anchors, framing systems, wire rope, rivets and related industrial hardware. Revenue therefore reflects a broader consumables-distribution business rather than a pure fastener franchise.
Which customers buy from Fastenal’s distribution network?
Fastenal serves original equipment manufacturers, factory maintenance departments, nonresidential contractors and customers across transportation, mining, agriculture, energy, education, retail and government. Their production, maintenance and project activity shapes demand for the company’s supplies.
Why can Fastenal’s hub investment pressure cash conversion?
Management expects an elevated investment pace focused on hub capacity, while recent capital expenditure remained material and operating cash flow weakened. Spending can therefore absorb cash even when reported profit is rising.
Did Fastenal’s latest sales gain reach operating profit?
Operating profit rose faster than gross profit, indicating that selling and administrative expense consumed a smaller share of the additional gross profit. Gross-margin expansion was not the main mechanism.
