Shares of Cintas surged 9.8% after beating analyst forecasts, reporting earnings of $1.13 per share on $2.61 billion in sales for fiscal Q3 2025. The company raised guidance, with sales growing 9.4% year over year, boosted by acquisitions and improved margins.

Despite strong performance, analysts caution that Cintas stock may be overvalued, trading at 48 times current year earnings. With a projected slowdown in earnings growth, the PEG ratio sits at 4. While the company is strong, the stock may not be worth the high price.
