Methodology: Range is calculated using 30-day realized volatility via geometric Brownian motion (log-normal model). 68% band = ±1σ, 95% band = ±2σ. This is a statistical model, not a prediction. Past volatility does not guarantee future results. Not financial advice.

What “ex-dividend” means

The ex-dividend date is the first trading day when a new buyer is no longer entitled to an upcoming dividend. Since Fastenal went ex-dividend on October 28, investors who bought shares that day or later are not eligible for this payment. For more company information, visit the Fastenal stock page.

Payment is scheduled for November 25

The payment date is still ahead, but buying shares now will not make you eligible for this dividend. Eligible holders are scheduled to receive the payment on November 25. You can find more company details on the FAST.US stock page.

A date-based update, not a forecast

The supplied information lists a trailing yield of 1.87%. This historical figure does not predict future dividends or returns. The available history shows one payment and no detected increases, which is not enough to establish a pattern of dividend growth. Keep the declared payment separate from any future dividend decisions. Visit the Fastenal company page for updates.
