Cintas Corp (CTAS-Q) is currently making headlines with its attempt to acquire Unifirst in a hostile takeover, which may face potential federal anti-trust scrutiny due to the niche market it operates in—work uniform rentals. Despite this, Cintas maintains that competition exists from larger retailers like Amazon and Costco. The company has demonstrated strong organic growth and operating margins, exceeding high expectations in its recent performance. Moreover, a recent 4-for-1 stock split was initiated, aimed at attracting new investors. While the company received a downgrade recently that some analysts found excessive, the overall sentiment remains positive among experts who believe that any short-term sell-off is largely unwarranted, indicating a potential for recovery in share price soon.
Cintas is launching a hostile takeover of Unifirst. Though the applauds M&A, this deal may need federal anti-trust scrutiny, because of this small market (work uniform rentals), though Cintas insists there is competition from Amazon and Costco.

A great stock. They have a huge pastiche of customers, including Mosaic.
Strong organic growth and operating margins, and exceeded high expectations. They did a 4-for-1 split a few weeks ago that will attract new investors.
They announced a 4-for-1 stock split early this month. They reported a strong quarter last March, but got a tough downgrade last week that he disagreed with. The sell-off that followed is a blip and shares will recover.
They report Thursday. They've seen no slowdown in business and he expects that to continue. Buy on any pullback.
CTAS operates as a corporate uniform service provider, and is now trading at 35x times' Forward P/E. In the last five years, sales grew around 6% on average. The balance sheet is strong, with net debt of $2.5B. Net debt/EBITDA is currently at 1.1x. Based on consensus estimates, sales are expected to grow by 6%-8% on average over the next few years. The company has been consistently raising dividends and repurchasing shares over the last few years, which we like. Overall, a solid company with the recurring business model and shareholder-friendly policies, however, trading at 35x Forward P/E while growth is only around 7% does not seem to us as a screaming buy, but we would be comfortable averaging into the position over time, being more aggressive if valuation dips.
