Cintas Ranks 362nd in Trading Volume, Extends Forbes 2000 Streak with 7.7% Revenue Growth

Cintas Corporation (CTAS) saw a 0.20% rise in its stock price on July 30, 2025, with a trading volume of $340 million, up 40.24% from the prior day, ranking it 362nd in market activity. The company was highlighted for its inclusion in the Forbes Global 2000 list for the fourth consecutive year, underscoring its sustained growth and operational resilience.

Financial results for fiscal 2025 showed CTAS generated $10.3 billion in revenue, a 7.7% increase from the prior year. The fourth quarter alone reported $2.67 billion in revenue, a 9% year-over-year rise, driven by strong demand for uniforms, safety gear, and facility services. The company raised its 2026 guidance, projecting revenue between $11 billion and $11.15 billion, reflecting confidence in its core markets. Analysts attributed this momentum to a rebound in job growth and strategic pricing adjustments, which helped retain clients amid economic uncertainties.

CTAS also announced a 15.4% increase in its quarterly dividend, extending its 42-year streak of annual dividend growth. The move reinforces its appeal to income-focused investors. However, risks remain tied to shifting workplace trends, particularly the potential decline in demand for physical uniforms as remote work persists. Despite this, the company’s earnings and revenue outperformed estimates, with GAAP profit at $1.09 per share exceeding expectations by 1.9%.

A backtest of a strategy buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day from 2022 to the present showed a 166.71% return, significantly outperforming the benchmark’s 29.18%. The strategy achieved a 31.89% compound annual growth rate with a Sharpe ratio of 1.14 and a maximum drawdown of 0.00%, highlighting its strong risk-adjusted performance and consistency over time.
