Is Fastenal Company stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Fastenal Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Fastenal Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Fastenal Company's P/E ratio
Fastenal Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 38x. In other words, Fastenal Company shares trade at around 38x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Fastenal Company's PEG ratio
Fastenal Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.1217. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Fastenal Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Fastenal Company share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 81.78% of net profits
Recently Fastenal Company has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Fastenal Company shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Fastenal Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.85 per share.
Fastenal Company's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Fastenal Company's most recent dividend payout was on 24 November 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 27 October 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Fastenal Company's shares were
split on a 2:1 basis on 21 May 2025

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Fastenal Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Fastenal Company shares which in turn could have impacted Fastenal Company's share price.
