Fastenal Company Announces Cash Dividend
11 juli, 22:05
Fastenal Company (Nasdaq:FAST) ('Fastenal', 'we', 'our', or 'us') reported its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.22 per share to be paid in cash on August 26, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 29, 2025. Except for share and per share information, dollar amounts are stated in millions. Share and per share information in this release has been adjusted to reflect a previously announced two-for-one stock split which took effect at the close of business on May 21, 2025.
We began paying annual dividends in 1991, semi-annual dividends in 2003, and then expanded to quarterly dividends in 2011. In addition to these regular dividend payments, we have previously paid special one-time dividends in December 2008, December 2012, December 2020, and December 2023. Our board of directors currently intends to continue paying quarterly dividends, though all future determinations as to payment of dividends will depend upon the financial condition and results of operations of Fastenal and such other factors as are deemed relevant by the board of directors at that time.
In 2025, 2024, and 2023, we paid (or declared) dividends as follows:
