Cintas trades at 42.8x earnings as underlying growth slows to 8.9% without an extra workday

Cintas shares closed at $220.15 on October 21, 2026, their highest close in a year. The stock trades at 42.8 times earnings, against 23.0 for the S&P 500. First-quarter fiscal 2027 sales rose 10.9%, but an extra workday helped. Excluding that day, acquisitions and currency moves, growth was about 8.9%. Management raised its full-year revenue forecast to $12.15 billion–$12.27 billion from $12.10 billion–$12.25 billion, implying 7.9% to 8.9% growth. The first quarter's pace means the rest of the year can slow and still meet the low end. The operating margin stands at 23.6%, a high since fiscal Q2 2017. Free cash flow over the last twelve months was $2.03 billion, against net debt of $2.47 billion. Cintas next reports in December 2026.

Cintas moves closer to UniFirst deal after regulatory review.

Cintas moves closer to UniFirst deal after regulatory review. The two companies have agreed to wait until Dec. 11, 2026, to finalize the deal, unless the FTC closes its investigation earlier in writing. Key Takeaways - Cintas (asi/162167) and UniFirst have cleared key regulatory review steps, certifying compliance with Federal Trade Commission information requests and responding to Canadian antitrust regulators. - The companies agreed not to close the $5.5 billion acquisition before Dec. 11, though Cintas still expects the deal to be completed by year's end. - If approved, the merger would combine two of the industry's largest uniform providers. Two of the largest uniform companies are getting closer to becoming one. Back in March, Counselor Top 40 distributor Cintas (asi/162167) announced it had reached an agreement to acquire Wilmington, MA-based UniFirst for approximately $5.5 billion. The announcement marked its third attempt at a purchase. Now, the two parties are moving the deal forward. According to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission form obtained by Counselor, the companies have certified compliance with the Federal Trade Commission. Cintas and UniFirst have also agreed to wait until Dec. 11, 2026, to close the deal, unless the FTC completes the investigation before then. However, Cintas says it expects the deal to officially close before the end of the year. In addition to completing the necessary steps with United States regulatory bodies, Cintas and UniFirst also responded to a Supplementary Information Request from the Canadian Competition Bureau on Sept. 29, 2026. These requests and responses ensure due diligence when evaluating whether a merger or acquisition requires additional information to determine if it promotes or threatens economic competition. As part of the acquisition bid, which Cintas submitted for the third time in December of last year, the Cincinnati-based distributor added on a $350 million reverse termination fee payable from Cintas to UniFirst in the event the merger is blocked by antitrust laws. "This agreement marks a critical step in realizing substantial value for shareholders and customers," Cintas CEO and President Todd Schneider said in March. "For decades, Cintas and UniFirst have built their reputations on a shared commitment to service excellence and putting customers first. By combining, we will be better positioned to drive growth and deliver on efficiencies that will benefit our collective customers and employee-partners." Cintas also said the deal should result in around $375 million in operational cost savings for both companies within four years. Last month, Cintas reported earnings at just over $3 billion for its fiscal 2027 first quarter, jumping 10.9% when compared to the previous year. Cintas was founded in 1929 and went public in 1983. As of Oct. 7, 2026, Cintas (NASDAQ: CTAS) shares were trading at approximately $197.03. Based on estimated 2025 North American promotional products revenue of $256.8 million, Cintas ranks 14th on Counselor's most recent list of largest distributors in the industry. That figure does not account for the company's proposed UniFirst acquisition.

Cintas reshapes executive leadership, names jim Rozakis president.

Cintas reshapes executive leadership, names jim Rozakis president. September 8, 2026 Cintas has restructured its executive leadership, separating the roles of president and CEO as the company moves forward under a revised leadership structure. Jim Rozakis, previously executive vice president and chief operating officer, has taken on the additional role of president. Todd Schneider remains CEO of Cintas but no longer holds the president title. President and CEO roles are now separate. The change was announced in early August and gives Rozakis broader responsibility across the business while creating a clearer division between the president and CEO roles. Cintas said the move is intended to sharpen operational focus and create a more defined split in executive responsibilities. Rozakis brings 27 years of Cintas experience. Rozakis has spent 27 years with Cintas, beginning as a sales trainee in 1999. He later held several sales and operational leadership positions, including sales director, group vice president for the Northeast region and senior vice president of rental division sales. In 2020, Rozakis became president and COO of Cintas' rental division. He moved into the company-wide executive vice president and COO role in 2023, with responsibility spanning Cintas' business divisions as well as enterprise sales, apparel innovation and strategy, process improvements, quality, engineering and marketing. Leadership shift comes during a major period of expansion. The change comes during a significant period for Cintas. The Cincinnati-based company operates across uniform rental, facility services, first aid and safety, fire protection and other workplace services, and earlier this year acquired fellow uniform provider UniFirst. Cintas also remains a major participant in the promotional products market. Based on estimated 2025 North American promotional products revenue of $256.8 million, the company ranked No. 14 on Counselor's latest list of the industry's largest distributors. That estimate predates the UniFirst acquisition. Rozakis takes a broader role across the business. The restructuring puts Rozakis, a longtime Cintas operator with experience across both sales and rental operations, into the president role as the company manages a considerably larger uniform and workplace services business following the acquisition.
