Fastenal Company supplies the parts and services that keep factories, job sites, and facilities running. The business is built on local branches, on-site programs, and digital tools that place inventory close to the point of use. Customers lean on Fastenal for steady replenishment, basic safety supplies, and everyday hardware, while analytics and simple dashboards make spending and stock levels easy to see. The company’s logistics network and route teams focus on reliability rather than flash, so bins stay full and crews can work without waiting on deliveries. Fastenal operates across the United States and international markets. In the industrials sector, it stands out for mixing distribution with hands-on service that fits into a customer’s daily routine.
TTM is calculated as the sum of the four most recently completed quarters. This is a standard approach when monthly or real-time data is not available.
Fastenal's Technical Indicators Summary
FAST is exhibiting a bullish trend supported by strong momentum and positive volume signals. The current price sits comfortably above key moving averages, including the 200-day SMA, reflecting sustained upward pressure. Momentum indicators like the CCI and MACD reinforce this strength, while the RSI suggests the stock remains in healthy territory without being overbought. Despite moderate volatility indicated by the ATR and a relatively subdued ADX pointing to a cautious trend strength, the robust On-Balance Volume confirms buying interest. However, caution is advised as some overextended oscillators hint at potential short-term pullbacks. Overall, FAST maintains a technically bullish profile with solid momentum and volume backing.
