Fastenal Gains 4% as Strong Contract Sales Drive Earnings Beat

Fastenal (NASDAQ:FAST) shares climbed over 4% intra-day today after the company delivered better-than-expected second-quarter results, fueled by robust contract growth and effective pricing strategies.

The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.29 for the quarter, edging past the $0.28 consensus forecast. Revenue rose 8.6% to $2.08 billion, slightly beating expectations of $2.07 billion and marking a solid increase from $1.92 billion in the same quarter last year.

Fastenal’s outperformance was largely driven by a surge in customer contract signings, a trend that has been building over the past six quarters. Contract sales grew by 11% year-over-year, far outpacing the 2.6% growth seen in non-contract sales. Additionally, product pricing actions contributed between 140 and 170 basis points to net sales, further boosting results.
