Here is the ten-year chart of Cintas Corporation (CTAS) as of July 25, 2025, when the stock was at $224.

The company saw strong organic growth – with 7% in uniform rental and facility services, 19% in first aid and safety, and 11% in fire protection – showing strong and steady performance. Management stated this growth comes from the way Cintas run its business, offering services customers use regularly, keeping those customers happy, and selling more products to them over time.
Last quarter, Cintas delivered 14% profit growth on 8% revenue growth.
CTAS is on the radar for our Conservative Growth Portfolio. David Sharek, Founder of School of Hard Stocks, is looking for the stock to pull back so he can invest.
