Argus Downgrades Fastenal (FAST) to Hold

Argus downgraded Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) from Buy to Hold on a weaker near-term outlook.

The firm is again lowering EPS forecasts for this year and next based on expectations for narrower margins.

The analyst will look for a turnaround in sales growth or margins, or a nonfundamental selloff to near $30, as potential upgrade triggers.
