The makeup of…Read Article 1+ days agoCintas: A Quality Buy and Hold Forever Stock at Any Price If there is one thing true about Cintas (NASDAQ: CTAS), the company delivers results. It has delivered results quarter after quarter, year after year, for more than 2 decades, and it will continue to do so.
