Cintas Guidance Implies Moderating Revenue Growth in Fiscal H2 2026, RBC Says

MT Newswires Live12-19

Cintas' (CTAS) guidance implies revenue growth will moderate in fiscal H2 2026, but the company has the flexibility to continue share buybacks, invest in technology, and pursue M&A opportunities, RBC Capital Markets analysts said in a Thursday note.

The company said Thursday it now expects fiscal 2026 revenue of $11.15 billion to $11.22 billion, compared with the previous guidance of $11.06 billion to $11.18 billion.

Analysts said Cintas' fiscal Q2 organic growth of 8.6% despite concerns about a softer jobs market, highlights its ability to grow in uncertain macro environments.

RBC said Cintas' "strong" performance reflects favorable end-market exposure in various sectors, including healthcare and education, in addition to effective cross-selling and new business wins.

Analysts said the company's digital advancements, like SAP, SmartTruck, and MyCintas portal, should help drive new sales, improve retention, cross-sell, and realize pricing.

RBC has a sector perform rating and a $206 price target on the stock.
