Fastenal Co. (US3119001044) was trading at EUR 46.32 at Lang & Schwarz at 10:09 a.m. CEST on October 14, 2026. On October 13, 2026, the company declared a USD 0.26 quarterly dividend payable November 25 to shareholders of record on October 28, according to FT.
Dividend sets the near term
The payment keeps Fastenal's quarterly distribution at USD 0.26 per share. The company said its 2026 dividend total is expected to reach USD 1.00, compared with USD 0.875 in 2025, while the board also reported 650,000 share repurchases in the third quarter of 2026 at an average USD 46.49 per share, according to FT.
For investors, the payout announcement arrives alongside a scheduled earnings update. Fastenal said on September 28, 2026, that its conference call on third-quarter results would take place on October 14, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time.
What does earnings demand?
Barchart reported on October 13, 2026 that analysts expected third-quarter revenue of USD 2.40 billion and earnings per share of USD 0.34. The comparison point was second-quarter earnings per share of USD 0.33 and revenue of USD 2.39 billion.
The latest reported quarter showed the same growth and profitability tension. MarketBeat said Fastenal's second-quarter revenue rose 14.70 percent year over year to USD 2.39 billion, while earnings per share came in at USD 0.33 against consensus of USD 0.33. That makes margin commentary the key test alongside sales growth.
Analyst target moves higher
DA Davidson raised its price target from USD 46.00 to USD 51.00 on October 12, 2026 while maintaining a Neutral rating, according to Investing.com. The firm cited demand checks through September but also pointed to price-cost headwinds and a projected third-quarter EBIT margin of 20.90 percent.
Dates shape the next catalyst
The October 28 record date and November 25 payment date give the dividend announcement an immediate timetable. The October 14 earnings call adds a second dated event, with the market weighing whether the expected USD 2.40 billion in revenue can arrive alongside the projected USD 0.34 earnings per share.
