Industrial distribution FASTStock sales measure sales through Fastenal's scanned stocking-location system, which uses proprietary mobility technology without embedded processing hardware.
Fastenal reported $299.6M of FASTStock sales in Q2 2026, up 13.8% from $263.2M a year earlier. FASTStock represented 12.4% of sales, versus 12.5% a year earlier.
FASTStock is digital but not an MEU device
Fastenal excludes FASTStock from its weighted FASTBin/FASTVend installation count because scanned stocking locations can take many physical forms and cannot be standardized into machine equivalent units.
FASTStock is still part of FMI sales. Fastenal also cautions that some FASTStock growth reflects migration from less efficient non-digital stocking locations, so reported growth is not a clean measure of incremental customer demand.
