Fastenal finished 2025 with double-digit fastener sales growth in December, closing a year in which the company’s legacy fastener sales recovered after nearly two years of declines.

Fastener sales rose 10.8% to $186.14 million (29.6% of overall sales) last month, down from 14.6% growth in November. Fastenal has reported double-digit fastener sales gains since July.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, fastener sales gained 12.6% to $614.3 million (30.3% of overall sales). Direct products outpaced indirect products due to greater contribution in fastener sales as a result of the company’s fastener expansion project and increased sales to manufacturing customers.

Overall Q4 sales grew 11.1% to $2.03 billion, with operating income up 11.4% to $384.3 million and net income gaining 12.2% to $294.1 million

Full-year sales rose 8.7% to $8.2 billion, with operating income increasing 9.6% to $1.65 billion and net income improving 9.4% to $1.26 billion.
