Cintas Corp

Business Support ServicesVerified

Cintas Corp maintains a capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.57, indicating a moderate reliance on debt financing. The company's liquidity position is characterized by a current ratio of 1.74, suggesting it has sufficient short-term assets to cover its short-term liabilities. However, the company's net cash position is negative after subtracting total debt, signaling potential liquidity constraints. In terms of profitability, Cintas Corp reports a return on equity (ROE) of 9.6%, which is a measure of how effectively the company generates profit from shareholders' equity. The return on assets (ROA) stands at 4.52%, indicating the company's efficiency in generating profit from its total assets. These metrics should be compared against the industry's preferred metrics to assess Cintas Corp's performance relative to its peers. Cintas Corp's revenue is primarily derived from its core business segments, with a significant portion attributed to its uniform and linen rental services. The company's geographic exposure is broad, with operations in the United States and internationally, though the exact distribution of revenue by region is not specified in the provided data.

Cintas Corp faces a medium liquidity risk, as indicated by its risk assessment, and a low dilution risk. The company's risk profile is further influenced by its capital structure and the potential for dilution, which is currently assessed as low. The company's financial health is also impacted by its operating cash flow of 2.07 billion USD and free cash flow of 289.74 million USD. Recent events and filings have not been detailed in the provided data, but the company's financial performance and analyst ratings suggest a stable and growing business.
