What is the price target of Fastenal Company (FAST)?

The 12-month analyst consensus target is $46.66, about 0.2% above the current $46.57. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.

What is the future stock price of FAST by 2030?

Our research-backed model puts the 2030 base case at $37.31, built from revenue projections, a growth-adjusted P/S multiple, net debt, and share dilution. It is a scenario rather than a prediction, and the bull and bear cases around it matter more than the single number when you are sizing a position.

What is the intrinsic value of Fastenal Company (FAST)?

Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $103.73, a +54.9% margin of safety versus today's $46.57. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A positive reading means the price sits below that estimate, leaving a cushion if growth holds.

What is Fastenal Company's revenue?

Fastenal Company's trailing twelve-month revenue is $8.44B, and our model projects it reaching about $14.15B by 2030. Revenue scale anchors the valuation multiples and shows whether growth is reaching the top line, so it is best read alongside margin and growth trends to see if that revenue is getting more profitable over time.
