Expected around Jan 19, 2027 — based on last year’s report on Jan 20, 2026. We have not yet seen the company's announcement of the date.
How we estimate
The estimate is the date of the same-quarter report a year ago, per the company’s SEC filing, moved forward 52 weeks (same weekday). Companies usually keep the same week; the date will be replaced once FAST announces it.
Same quarter a year ago (ended December 31, 2025): revenue $2.027B, EPS (GAAP) $0.25

Year-ago figures are GAAP, from the company's SEC filings (XBRL); EPS is diluted.

How we calculate
Figures are annual report lines; if a year was later restated (discontinued operations, mergers), we use the latest filing that shows it. Free cash flow is operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; dividends are cash paid to common shareholders during the year. “—” means the line isn’t in the filing. The table starts in 2011; where the listed issuer changed (holding reorganization, redomicile), earlier years come from the predecessor’s filings.
