<p>威廉·布莱尔分析师瑞安·默克尔（Ryan Merkel）在 12 月 15 日维持了对 FAST 股票的看涨态度，给予买入评级。</p>
<p>瑞安·默克尔给予买入评级的原因是基于多个因素，主要集中在 Fastenal 的领导层连续性和战略方向上。他认为，计划在 2026 年将首席执行官职位过渡给杰弗里·沃茨（Jeffrey Watts）是一个积极、有序的举措，并且已清晰地传达给投资者，从而减少了不确定性。沃茨在 Fastenal 的长期任职以及他自 2024 年起担任总裁的广泛领导背景，表明公司将保留并增强现有优势，而不是经历破坏性的变革。</p>
<p>默克尔还对沃茨在公司最近战略更新中的重要角色充满信心，这表明他与当前的增长议程紧密一致。沃茨对 Fastenal 销售文化和运营的熟悉程度为当前首席执行官丹·弗洛尔内斯（Dan Florness）顺利交接奠定了基础，后者将在过渡期间继续担任战略顾问。综合来看，这些治理和执行因素支持了默克尔的观点，即 Fastenal 在持续运营成功方面处于良好位置，从而证明了他对该股票的买入推荐是合理的。</p>
<p>在 12 月 15 日发布的另一份报告中，杰富瑞（Jefferies）也将该股票升级为买入，目标价为 52.00 美元。</p>

</div><p>Ryan Merkel has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors centered on Fastenal’s leadership continuity and strategic direction. He views the planned transition to Jeffrey Watts as CEO in 2026 as a positive, orderly move that has been clearly communicated to investors, minimizing uncertainty. Watts’ long tenure at Fastenal and broad leadership background, including his role as president since 2024, signal that the company will retain and build on its existing strengths rather than undergo disruptive change.</p>

</div><p>Merkel also takes confidence from Watts’ instrumental role in the company’s recent strategic refresh, which suggests he is closely aligned with the current growth agenda. Watts’ familiarity with Fastenal’s sales culture and operations underpins expectations for a smooth handoff from current CEO Dan Florness, who will remain involved as a strategic advisor for a transition period. Collectively, these governance and execution factors support Merkel’s view that Fastenal is well positioned for continued operational success, justifying his Buy recommendation on the stock.</p>
