FAST · PEAD → 5

Fastenal reported Q2 2026 EPS of $0.33 on 2026-07-14, matching the $0.33 consensus exactly (0% beat/miss); year-over-year comparison is not available in the current data feed.

Print-day reaction was –2.8%, as FAST fell from the prior close of $47.05 to $45.74 on the event date despite an in-line print. The overnight gap into T+1 was a marginal +0.3%, suggesting no meaningful after-hours continuation of the selloff. Over the subsequent two trading sessions the stock drifted a further +0.3%, offering no sustained recovery from the initial drop. Cumulative abnormal return of –2.5% versus SPY.US sits just inside the –3% threshold; PEAD verdict is none with conviction 5, holding the read through 2026-10-09.
