   <title>DA Davidson Reiterates Neutral Rating on Fastenal (FAST), Raises Estimates</title>
   <link>http://www.streetinsider.com/Analyst+Comments/DA+Davidson+Reiterates+Neutral+Rating+on+Fastenal+%28FAST%29%2C+Raises+Estimates/26777739.html</link>
   <description>&lt;p&gt;DA Davidson analyst Chris Dankert reiterated a Neutral rating and $46.00 price target on Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The analyst commented, &quot;Price/cost is expected to remain a near-term challenge; however, sales growth is on a blistering pace (June ADS +15% y/y) as FAST continues to deliver market share gains aided by its Focus-40 initiatives and captive trucking fleet advantage. As a result, our estimates move higher and we now forecast CY27 adj. EPS of $1.38 (+$0.07). We see the margin reset as a modest clearing event and we are more constructive on shares of FAST following this recalibration. Maintaining our Neutral rating</description>

   <title>DA Davidson Reiterates Neutral Rating on Fastenal (FAST) Despite 'Impressive' Sales Growth</title>

   <description>&lt;p&gt;DA Davidson analyst Chris Dankert reiterated a Neutral rating and $46.00 price target on Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The analyst commented, &quot;Despite genuinely impressive June sales growth (+15.0% y/y ADS vs. our +12.3% forecast) and solid gross margin performance, EBIT margin trailed elevated consensus expectations (21.0% matched our forecast, -20bp vs. Street). We flagged this risk with our latest industrial distribution survey (LINK), given upward pressure on SG&amp;A due to sharply higher fuel costs (est. +42% y/y) and incentive comp. Price/ cost was a headwind for the third consecutive quarter (-40bp), but contract count continues to expand nicely (+7.2% y/y) supporting continued</description>

   <title>KeyBanc on Fastenal (FAST): 'Price/Cost Headwinds Limit Incremental Margins in NT'</title>

   <description>&lt;p&gt;KeyBanc analyst Ken Newman reiterated a Sector Weight rating on Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The analyst commented: &quot;Price/Cost Headwinds Limit Incremental Margins in NT; We are modestly adjusting our estimates and maintaining our SW rating following FAST's 2Q results. Shares underperformed as 2Q incremental margins were lower than expected despite solid mid-teens revenue growth, primarily driven by a 40 bps headwind from negative price/cost. We think a return to mid-20% incremental margins will likely require a shift back to price/cost neutrality, which management acknowledged could be difficult in 2H26. While we expect continued volume growth driven by a cycle inflection, we see</description>

   <description>&lt;p&gt;Bernstein SocGen Group analyst Connor Cerniglia reiterated an Underperform rating and $42.00 price target on Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The analyst commented: &quot;Strong top line but GM concerns persist; Fastenal reported Q2:26 results on Tuesday morning with a modest beat on sales and EBIT, and in-line gross margins. The stock started the day up +4% but ended down -3% following the earnings call. Commentary around gross margins, the primary focus on the quarter, was worse than investors hoped—mainly because management indicated that Fastenal is unlikely to be price-cost neutral until early 2027 with incremental margins expected to return to the mid-20s “over</description>
