Cintas

Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) provides corporate uniforms, as well as other business services, including entrance mats, restroom cleaning services and supplies, carpet, industrial floor cleaning, and fire protection products.

In August 2016, Cintas announced that it was acquiring competitor G&K Services; this is likely to increase Cintas' market share.

The company had beaten analysts’ earnings expectations four out of the last seven quarters through the fiscal fourth quarter of 2016.

Cintas is reasonably valued, with a forward price-earnings (P/E) ratio of 23.9. It has a market cap of $11.8 billion and pays investors a dividend yield of 0.93%.

The stock closed at a lifetime high of $112.99 as of Aug. 16, 2016. It has a YTD return of 24.1%, outperforming the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index’s YTD return by roughly 18%.

Show me the cash!

Investors of both Cintas (NASDAQ:CTAS) and G&K Services (NASDAQ:GK) cheered when the two agreed to a deal to sign a merger agreement.

The deal calls for Cintas to acquire G&K Services for $97.50 per share, all cash. That level was a 19% premium to the price of G&K's shares at the prior day's close of trading.

While it's no surprise that G&K's stock price immediately traded up to the premium Cintas agreed to pay per share, shares of Cintas were also up roughly 7% after the announcement.

There are a couple of things for investors to consider here. Cintas is putting its money where its mouth is because it's paying a premium for the company -- a total of $2.2 billion -- including the assumption of debt, and at a fairly lofty 14 times EBITDA multiple. Because of the price tag, investors shouldn't expect this transaction to be immediately accretive to earnings.

This is a story that investors believe will pay off as a result of the synergies created from the combined companies over the next few years, rather than being instantly accretive.

Cintas believes it will realize $130 million to $140 million in synergies and cost savings annually by the fourth year.

At the end of the day, the industry's largest player just got bigger, and if management can squeeze synergies and improve its scale, it could work out in favor of investors over the long term.

The Biggest Loser: Cintas Drops 3.1%

By Ben Levisohn

Cintas (CTAS) tumbled to the bottom of the S&P 500 today after its fiscal second-quarter earnings fell short of the Street consensus even as it raised its guidance.

Cintas dropped 3.1% to $116.36 today, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.1% to 2,263.79.

RBC’s Gary Bisbee and Jay Hanna note that a lot of good news had been priced into Cintas’ stock:

We maintain our positive view toward Cintas, particularly as G&K Services (GK) is likely to bolster Cintas’s growth potential over the next few years. However, after strong appreciation since the G&K announcement last August, we believe that much of the good news is already priced in at 25x/22x our pro-forma FY18/FY19 adjusted EPS estimates. As a result, we rate CTAS Sector Perform and await a better entry point.

Cintas’ market capitalization fell to $12.2 billion today from $12.6 billion yesterday. It reported net income of $450 million on sales of $4.9 billion in fiscal 2016.
