Fastenal Reports Strong November Daily Sales Growth Despite Fewer Business Days
Fastenal posted November 2025 net sales of $627.5 million, up 6.2% from a year earlier, despite having one fewer business day. Daily sales rose 11.8% year over year, driven by broad-based strength across geographies and end markets. U.S. daily sales increased 11.9%, while Canada/Mexico grew 7.8% and Rest of World surged 27.7%.
Manufacturing demand remained robust, with heavy and other manufacturing daily sales each rising about 13%. Fasteners led product-line growth at 14.6%, followed by 11.9% in the “Other” category and 8.1% in Safety. Growth was supported by improved performance across customer channels, including 13% daily sales growth from contract customers and 17% growth in Fastenal Managed Inventory.
Company headcount rose 3.5% from last year to 21,701 FTEs, reflecting ongoing capacity expansion. The next monthly sales update and earnings release are scheduled for January 19, 2026.
