Is FAST Outperforming the Industrial Sector?
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LInkedIn


Winona, Minnesota-based Fastenal Company (FAST) engages in the wholesale distribution of industrial and construction supplies in North America and internationally. Valued at approximately $55 billion by market cap, Fastenal offers various industrial and construction-related products through its company-owned stores.

Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks.” Fastenal fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, reflecting its substantial size, influence, and dominance in the industrial distribution space.

Fastenal touched its all-time high of $50.63 on Aug. 25 and is currently trading 5.3% below that peak. FAST stock has surged 12.3% over the past three months, notably outperforming the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLI) 5% uptick during the same time frame.

Fastenal’s performance has remained impressive over the longer term as well. FAST stock has soared 33.4% on a YTD basis and 39.7% over the past 52 weeks, outpacing XLI’s 14.9% gains in 2025 and 18.2% surge over the past year.

To confirm the uptrend, FAST stock has traded consistently above its 200-day and 50-day moving averages since April 2025.

Fastenal’s stock prices gained 4.2% in the trading session following the release of its better-than-expected Q2 results on Jul. 14. Although market conditions have remained soft in recent times, the company’s results benefited from improved customer contract signings over the past quarters. The company’s topline for the quarter surged 8.6% year-over-year to $2.1 billion, surpassing the Street’s expectations by 88 bps. Furthermore, Fastenal’s EPS for the quarter increased by an impressive 12.7% year-over-year to $0.29, exceeding the consensus estimates by 3.6%.

Meanwhile, Fastenal has notably outperformed its peer W.W. Grainger, Inc.’s (GWW) 5.7% decline on a YTD basis and 1.7% uptick over the past 52 weeks.

Among the 16 analysts covering the FAST stock, the consensus rating is a “Hold.” As of writing, the stock is trading slightly above its mean price target of $46.40.
