Market Focus10-14 19:17

On October 14, Fastenal fell 3.75% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $49.75/share, with turnover of $722,000.

The move followed Fastenal's third-quarter earnings release, which showed results modestly ahead of expectations but not by a wide margin.

Fastenal reported Q3 diluted EPS of $0.35 versus $0.29 a year earlier, topping the $0.34 consensus estimate. Net sales rose to $2.46 billion from $2.13 billion a year earlier, also slightly above the $2.44 billion expected. Prior market expectations had already called for roughly 14.42% revenue growth and EPS of $0.34, suggesting the reported beat was limited relative to what had been priced in.
