Aoris Investment Management discussed Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ:CTAS) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:
“Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ:CTAS) is America’s largest provider of uniform rental services. For around $1.50 per worker per day Cintas will collect, clean and replace uniforms for organisations in industries such as lodging, entertainment, manufacturing and health care, allowing them to reduce cost and complexity and to focus on their core businesses. Cintas will often provide additional facility services in the same delivery, such as entrance mats, aprons, restroom supplies, and fire safety inspection. It keeps its customers on average for more than 20 years and has grown earnings at an impressive rate over time.
We had previously owned Cintas in the portfolio for six years until July 2024, when we sold it for valuation reasons. We repurchased this high-quality business on a significantly lower earnings multiple than it traded on when we sold it.”
