Fastenal (ISIN US3119001044) was trading at EUR 45.24 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 3:40 p.m. CEST, up 1.96 percent versus the prior close of EUR 44.37. The company announced on September 28, 2026 that it will review its 2026 third-quarter results during a webcast on October 14, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Central time, according to Fastenal. The scheduled call gives investors a defined date for testing whether the company's recent sales growth is continuing.
October 14 sets the next test
The October 14 event follows Fastenal's second-quarter report dated July 14, 2026. The company generated USD 2.39 billion in revenue during the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 2.34 billion expected by analysts, while earnings per share came in at USD 0.33 against consensus of USD 0.33, MarketBeat reported.
Revenue was up 14.70 percent from the second quarter of 2025, according to the same July 14 results summary. The contrast between a revenue beat and an earnings match makes the October call especially relevant for judging operating leverage.
Sales growth meets valuation pressure
MarketBeat reported on October 2, 2026 that 13 analysts held a combined Hold rating, with six Buy ratings, five Hold ratings and two Sell ratings. Their average twelve-month target was USD 49.50, while the primary-market quote was USD 50.62 on Nasdaq at 9:55 a.m. ET, putting the quote 2.26 percent above that average target.
The same analyst survey listed a USD 52.92 52-week high and a USD 38.97 low for Fastenal. Its USD 58.1 billion market capitalization and the stock's position near the upper end of that range show why the coming results must support both revenue expansion and profitability.
Euro quote rises before results
At Lang & Schwarz, Fastenal was trading at EUR 45.24 on October 2, 2026 at 3:40 p.m. CEST, up 1.96 percent from the EUR 44.37 prior close. The primary Nasdaq quote was USD 50.62 at 9:55 a.m. ET on the same date, with a USD 38.97 to USD 52.92 52-week range.
