Fastenal is an industrial distributor headquartered in Winona, Minnesota. Bob Kierlin opened the first store in Winona in 1967, initially selling nuts and bolts. Fasteners remain an important product category, but today the company also supplies safety equipment, tools, cutting products, janitorial supplies, hydraulics and many other maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) items.
What sets Fastenal apart is its on-site approach: it operates branches and so-called Onsites located directly inside customer facilities and has installed large numbers of industrial vending machines that dispense gloves, drill bits or protective glasses at the point of use. Customers include manufacturers, construction firms, government agencies and utilities, mainly in North America. The stock is closely tied to U.S. industrial production, while the shift toward digital ordering and supply-chain services offers growth. Fastenal trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker FAST and is a member of the Nasdaq-100 and the S&P 500.
The current price of Fastenal stock is $55.82 (+1.64% vs. the previous close). In today's trading the high was $56.26 and the low $55.26.
How the Quantum Forecast works
Research from quantum physics. The models are the result of several years of research at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and LMU Munich and were transferred to the stock market.
Spectra and correlations. Frequency spectra are calculated from current prices, and the relationships between price swings and volatility are analyzed. This produces the forecast and the risk assessment.
Detecting herd behavior. Models of phase transitions from statistical physics describe when investors collectively fall into panic or euphoria – an early sign of possible crash situations.
Swarm intelligence. User forecasts are checked once their time frame has expired and feed into the model, weighted by their hit rate.
