Side by side · every name on one set of axes
Growth against the P/E multiple. Up and to the right is cheaper and faster — the quality-growth idea in one picture. Points beyond the axis are pinned to the edge and marked off-scale rather than allowed to compress everything else.

The companies
FASTFastenal Company
Why now
Industrial Distribution · market cap $58.7b. 3% off the 52-week high of $52.92. Revenue growing +13%, comfortably above the S&P median. 13 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $48.53 (implying -5% upside).
Moat
Net margin 15% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 33% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. $58.7b market cap gives the company enough scale to absorb fixed costs that subscale competitors can't, without yet being so large that growth has to come from acquisition.
Risk
Trailing P/E 44x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates.
SITESiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc.
Why now
Industrial Distribution · market cap $4.2b. Down 43% from 52-week high of $168.56 — deep drawdown territory. 12 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $127.08 (implying +33% upside).
Moat
FCF converts 162% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Down 43% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Net margin 3.2% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first.

Where FAST and SITE diverge
On the headline score the gap is 21.1 points in favor of SITE. They get there differently, though — each leads on a different pillar, so the better pick depends on which you weight.

- QualityFAST 88.8 · SITE 56.0FAST +32.8

Pillars run 0–100 against sector peers, so a score is a statement about a company relative to its own industry rather than to the other name here. A wide Value gap usually means the market already prices the difference in quality or growth — which is the trade-off this comparison comes down to.
