From Cintas's 10-K and 10-Q filings with the SEC; its fiscal year ends in May. Each period shows the latest figure the company has reported for it, including restatements. Net margin is our own calculation from those reported figures (net income ÷ revenue); it is left blank where revenue is zero or missing. † Quarter derived from the company's year-to-date or full-year totals.

Cintas vs the Industrials sector and the S&P 500
Cintas's latest reported figures next to the median of the other 81 S&P 500 Industrials companies and of the other 502 S&P 500 companies; each median is taken over the companies with a comparable figure (counts in the footnote). A median is the middle value, not an average, so one very large company does not move it.
| Measure | Cintas | Industrials (81 other S&P 500 companies) | S&P 500 (502 other companies) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue growth, latest fiscal year | +8.9% | +4.5% | +7.0% |
| Net margin, latest fiscal year | 17.8% | 11.2% | 12.9% |
| Dividend per share, latest fiscal year | $1.80 | $2.67 | $2.40 |
| Share price change, 1 year | +12.8% | +8.5% | +7.5% |
Cintas: fiscal year ended May 2026, from its 10-K and 10-Q filings with the SEC. Medians computed October 20, 2026 from each company's latest annual filing (fiscal years ending between July 2025 and September 2026) and our price archive. Prices for every company, Cintas included, are the last regular-session prices of October 20, 2026; the 1-year change compares that price with each company's last close on or before October 20, 2025. Net margin and price change are our calculations from reported figures. Each median counts only the companies with a comparable figure (sector / S&P 500): revenue growth 79/496, net margin 79/496, dividend per share 63/349, 1-year price change 77/488; the reasons below can overlap. 14 are left out of the price figure because our archive holds no comparable close for them; dividend medians are among the 63 sector and 349 S&P 500 companies reporting a per-share dividend. The S&P 500 price figure is the middle company's change, not the index's return.
