Cintas (CTAS) Stock Price vs Operating Income
Open the interactive overlay on autario.com.
In the year ended February 28, 2026, Cintas reported operating income of $659.9M, up 8.21% from $609.9M in the same quarter a year prior. Over that same twelve-month period, the stock price declined from $207.50 to $201.13, a 3.07% decrease. Despite the company growing operating income, the stock's underperformance resulted in valuation compression—the market is paying less per dollar of operating income generated. The 0.98 correlation between operating income and stock price over the full 43-year window demonstrates a strong long-term relationship, though recent quarters show divergence between the two metrics.
Operating Income was $659.9M as of 2026-02-28, +8.2% year over year. The stock moved -3.1% over the same window ($207.50 -> $201.13). The stock is now cheaper relative to Operating Income than a year ago (multiple compression).
Latest close: 171.42 USD (2026-06-02).
