Frequently asked questions
What is Fastenal Company's revenue?
Fastenal Company's trailing twelve-month revenue is $8.44B, and consensus projects about $14.15B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is FAST?
In its most recent fiscal year, FAST ran a gross margin of 45.01%, an operating margin of 20.19%, and a net margin of 15.35%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does FAST generate?
FAST produced $1.05B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is FAST's balance sheet healthy?
FAST holds $276.80M in cash and equivalents against $100.00M in long-term debt, on $3.94B of shareholder equity. Cash on hand exceeds long-term debt, so the balance sheet adds little financial risk to the thesis.
