The latest announcement is out from Cintas ( (CTAS) ).
On December 22, 2025, Cintas Corporation announced that it had submitted, and on December 12, 2025 delivered, a renewed non-binding proposal to acquire all outstanding common and Class B shares of rival UniFirst Corporation for $275 per share in cash, valuing UniFirst at about $5.2 billion and representing a 64% premium to UniFirst’s 90-day average share price as of December 11, 2025. Cintas framed the move as a strategic combination that would create a leading player in uniform and facility services with expanded processing capacity, greater route density and the ability to serve well over 1 million business customers across the U.S. and Canada, while emphasizing that the offer carries no financing contingency, has full support from Cintas’ board, and includes a $350 million reverse termination fee to bolster deal certainty in the face of regulatory review, although UniFirst has so far only acknowledged receipt of the proposal without engaging substantively.
The most recent analyst rating on (CTAS) stock is a Sell with a $181.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cintas stock, see the CTAS Stock Forecast page.

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CTAS is a Outperform.
Cintas’s strong financial performance and positive earnings call sentiment are the most significant factors driving the stock score. The technical analysis suggests short-term bullish momentum, but medium to long-term resistance remains. The high valuation and low dividend yield slightly temper the overall score.
