Fastenal Co. stock (US3119001044) traded at USD 48.79 on September 10, 2026, after a July 14, 2026 earnings update showed EPS of USD 0.33 and revenue up 14.7 percent year over year. The latest analyst snapshot points to a Hold view and a USD 49.17 average target.
July results set the tone
According to MarketBeat, Fastenal reported quarterly EPS of USD 0.33 on July 14, 2026, matching the consensus estimate. The same page says quarterly revenue rose 14.7 percent from the prior-year period, a comparison that supports the stock's current valuation debate.
That combination matters because MarketBeat also lists net income of USD 1.26 billion, net margin of 15.45 percent and return on equity of 34.03 percent on the same Fastenal profile. For investors, the margin profile is still the number to watch.
Wall Street stays cautious
According to MarketBeat, six analysts rate Fastenal a Buy, five rate it Hold and two rate it Sell, which leaves the shares on a Hold consensus on September 10, 2026. The same update puts the average target at USD 49.17 and shows the stock recently trading near USD 48.79.
That leaves little distance between price and target. The market cap is about USD 55.99 billion, and the 52-week range runs from USD 38.97 to USD 52.92.
