Fastenal's ex-dividend date of October 28 means any investor who holds the stock through today is entitled to the upcoming payment, a total payout of roughly $298.3 million landing in accounts on November 25.
The scale of Fastenal's distribution sets it apart from every other company going ex-dividend on the same day. Prospect Capital and Entegris are both paying out, but their combined total falls far short of Fastenal's.

Prospect Capital and Entegris are each paying shareholders on November 18, while DeFi Development pays on October 29.
For investors focused on income, the November 25 payment date gives Fastenal shareholders nearly a month of lead time after the ex-date. Missing the October 28 cutoff means waiting for the next dividend cycle to collect.
