For the three months ended August 31, 2026, Cintas reported revenue of $3.01B (up 10.9% YoY) with organic growth of 8.9%, and operating income of $711.9M (up 15.2% YoY). Gross margin improved 120 bps to 51.5%. The company raised full-year FY27 revenue guidance from $12.10–$12.25B to $12.15–$12.27B and adjusted diluted EPS guidance from $5.36–$5.50 to $5.45–$5.54. Q1 included $14.4M in UniFirst acquisition transaction expenses; management expects the UniFirst deal to close by end of calendar 2026, pending FTC approval. Cintas returned $544.7M to shareholders via buybacks and paid $208.8M in dividends in Q1.
Why this rating
Strong operational performance and guidance raise are positive, but modest relative to $74B market cap. UniFirst deal remains uncertain pending FTC review.
