From a geographical perspective, the U.S. remains the company’s most important market, accounting for over 83% of its revenue. Fastenal also operates in Mexico and Canada, which, given the looming trade war concerns, could impact the company’s performance. However, with the latest news of Trump suspending tariffs on Mexico until April 2, the threat of a trade war may temporarily subside.
Fastenal is rising to around $77 today, marking its highest value this year and breaking above the upper limits of the consolidation range that has been in place since late December. This level was reached with still relatively low volume, meaning investors will have to wait for full confirmation of the breakout. Source: xStation
