  • Summary

  • This is Zack Fuss. Today, we are breaking down Cintas Corporation. It is America's largest uniform rental company, and for around $1.50 per worker per day, Cintas will collect, clean, and replace uniforms for organizations in industries such as lodging, hospitality, entertainment, manufacturing, and retail. To help break down Cintas, I am joined by Delian Entchev, a portfolio manager at Aoris Investment Management. The company's origins trace back to the Great Depression, when its founder, who was a circus worker at the time, began a small business to reclaim and clean rags for local factories in Cincinnati, Ohio. Nearly a hundred years later, Cintas is set to approach 10 billion in sales at a 10% five-year CAGR and a 20% operating margin. It remains a family-owned business, with multiple generations of the Farmer family having held leadership roles at the company. Please enjoy this Breakdown of Cintas Corporation.
