CTAS

Over the past six months, Cintas's stock price has experienced notable fluctuations, reaching a new 52-week low of $165.46 in early May 2026. The sell-off accelerated following the company's announcement in mid-March 2026 of a $5.5 billion deal to acquire UniFirst. Despite reporting strong third-quarter fiscal year 2026 results on March 25, 2026, the stock experienced a significant negative reaction, declining by 5.21% on the day of the earnings release. Citigroup downgraded Cintas to a "sell" and lowered its price target to $160.00 on March 31, 2026, while Stifel Nicolaus also reduced its price target to $190.00 on March 26, 2026. Conversely, Robert W. Baird upgraded Cintas to an "outperform" rating with a $250.00 target price in March 2026. Cintas also announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 in April 2026.
