Fastenal 宣布季度股息每股0.26美元并披露三季度小幅回购，属常规资本回报公告

WINONA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Fastenal Company (Nasdaq:FAST) ('Fastenal,' 'we,' 'our,' or 'us') reported its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.26 per share to be paid in cash on November 25, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 28, 2026. Except for share and per share information, dollar amounts are stated in millions.
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 2026, 2025, and 2024, we paid (or declared) dividends as follows:
