On July 15, Cintas rose 4.74% in regular trading, trading at $191.515/share, with turnover of $46.07 million. The move was driven by a strong fiscal Q4 earnings report and above-consensus forward guidance.
Cintas reported Q4 EPS of $1.26, beating the $1.23 estimate, while revenue came in at $2.905 billion versus the $2.873 billion consensus. Additionally, the company issued FY2027 revenue guidance of $12.10 billion to $12.25 billion, with both the midpoint and upper bound exceeding the FactSet consensus estimate of $12.07 billion.
The results validated an earlier projection from RBC Capital Markets, which had anticipated a Q4 beat, citing incremental margins in the low-to-mid 30% range offsetting higher energy costs and approximately 8% organic growth momentum despite tougher year-over-year comparisons. RBC had also predicted strong momentum would drive the upper end of FY27 guidance above consensus.
