briefingcom Posted - 1 week ago

$FAST: Fastenal (+9%), an industrial products distributor, including fasteners, bolts, nuts, screws, and washers, secures healthy gains today after delivering a modest earnings beat in Q3 on in-line revenue growth. Given FAST's vast reach across the U.S. manufacturing sector, boasting a range of differently sized businesses, its quarterly results are a helpful gauge of broader economic activity. For much of the year, FAST encountered speedbumps, with sluggish business activity persisting long enough to spur an uptick in layoffs, shift reductions, and extended shutdowns. Last quarter, management was candid in describing the manufacturing economy, stating that industrial production continues to decline, with notable weakness across the non-residential construction and reseller end markets. https://www.briefing.com/story-stocks/archive/2024/10/11/fastenal-sprints-higher-as-q3-highlights-outshine-persistently-subdued-manufacturing-activity-(fast)?utm_campaign=storystocks&utm_medium=social&utm_source=st&utm_content=link
