In a report released today, Jasper Bibb from Truist Financial maintained a Buy rating on Cintas (CTAS – Research Report), with a price target of $230.00.
Jasper Bibb’s rating is based on Cintas’s strong financial performance and strategic decisions. The company reported impressive third-quarter results, with total revenues increasing significantly year-over-year and surpassing market expectations. This growth was driven by resilience in its Uniform and Facility Services segments, as well as notable increases in its First Aid & Safety division. Additionally, Cintas’s operating income and margins expanded, further demonstrating its operational efficiency.
Bibb also noted the company’s decision to terminate its bid for UniFirst, which was not accepted despite a substantial premium offer.

Furthermore, the company has raised its revenue and earnings guidance for fiscal year 2025, reflecting confidence in its continued performance despite potential macroeconomic challenges. These factors collectively support Bibb’s Buy rating for Cintas’s stock.
