Cintas FY2026: $11.26 billion revenue, 11.6% EPS growth
Cintas closed fiscal 2026 with record revenue of $11.26 billion, a record 50.7% gross margin and 11.6% diluted EPS growth, then guided fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS 8.5% to 11.3% higher. Read it as steady compounding rather than a one-off quarter: organic revenue grew 8.3% and $1.65 billion went back to shareholders. The wildcard is the UniFirst deal, which guidance excludes.
