$FAST The Empire State Manufacturing Index came in well short of expectations yesterday and both Building Permits and Housing Starts as well as Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization all came below expectations. And this piece of crap nuts and bolts company is still selling at 33 forward PE, 5.5 P/S ratio and 3.7 PEG ratio? Talking about major correction need. A new 52-week low ($52.29) is possible. JMO

Technical Trends to Watch $FAST Loses -7.16% in 4 Weeks - Trend Reversal Possible Fastenal (FAST) has faced significant selling pressure, declining 7.2% over the past four weeks. However, the stock appears well-positioned for a potential trend reversal based on technical analysis. https://stocksrunner.com/symbol/FAST

$FAST The stock was way ahead of its reality and fundamentals. The stock was up a lot and factored in a monster beat. Nothing unbelievable about this correction to the reality. Lower 60's at best or even much lower if the global economy slows down.

$FAST "Fastenal earned $0.52 per share in the just-reported quarter on revenue of $1.9 billion, just below Wall Street's expectations for $0.53 per share in earnings on sales of $1.91 billion." - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-fastenal-stock-fell-today-194400088.html Unbelievable, a penny less in earnings and $10 million less in revenue and they punish the stock by 6.5%, it doesn't seem right.

$FAST: Fastenal (-5.7%) is losing some speed today following its Q1 report following a slight miss on EPS. Revenue rose 1.9% yr/yr to $1.90 bln, which was in-line. Unfortunately, the company does not provide guidance. As one of the largest distributors of fasteners and related industrial and construction supplies (bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, etc.), Fastenal has high exposure to industrial / manufacturing. Fastenal experienced higher unit sales in Q1, primarily due to growth with larger customers and Onsite locations opened in the last two years. Incremental pricing actions over the past 12 months have been modest, resulting in mostly stable price levels through Q1. https://www.briefing.com/story-stocks/archive/2024/4/11/fastenal-loses-some-speed-following-q1-report-seeing-poor-underlying-demand-in-key-markets-(fast)?utm_campaign=storystocks&utm_medium=social&utm_source=st&utm_content=link

$SPY I think everyone should keep an eye on $FAST. If it finds it's legs and recovers, the nuts and bolts of the market will likely be fine. $IWM If not, the whole thing may well rip apart at the seams. $QQQ I deposited a little cash into my trading account, this is gonna hurt for awhile. $TLT

$FAST still overvalued stock πŸ“‰

User Image ElijahJobs Posted - 1 week ago

$FAST Tons of selling while desperately defending $70. But, after ER Call at 10am ET, this will tank bigly. At $60, this stock still would have forward PE of 28, growing at 1.9%. That grows came with the account receivables jumping, meaning that the new customers are not paying for the products. Obviously, the company was desperate so gave the products away for later payment. LMAO
