Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Cintas Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Cintas aims to continually achieve revenue build-up by increasing penetration levels at existing customers and broadening the customer base. The acquisition of G&K Services is anticipated to be accretive to Cintas’ earnings. The combined company is likely to cater to over one billion business customers with an extended product portfolio and additional processing capacity. The synergies from the combined operations are expected to yield $130 million to $140 million in cost savings from the fourth year of its operation. Cintas’ investment strategy takes a holistic view of the rapidly evolving market and deploys a dynamic capital allocation approach to focus on the relative value of the various sectors within the broader industry. Cintas has also outperformed the industry year to date. However, volatility in raw material prices and third-party supply constraints remain potential headwinds for the company." (9/21/2017)
• 2. Robert W. Baird analysts commented, "Great execution improves confidence in the long-term trajectory. Another excellent quarter of execution saw organic growth rates strengthen sequentially with CTAS firing on all cylinders in an environment that remains conducive for new business wins, arguably modestly improved. Focus now shifts to GK integration with long-term synergy targets/timeline unchanged and management cognizant of need to maintain service quality to achieve. Recent GK close "bump" and expected strength tomorrow leaves less incremental near-term opportunity though conviction in the long-term preserves our rating." (3/23/2017)
• 3. Piper Jaffray Companies analysts commented, "Cintas reported a healthy F3Q print, with the most significant development being the successful close of the $2.2B G&K acquisition on 3/21 following recent regulatory approval. We believe the transaction is highly strategic, and will lead to meaningful cost synergies and long-term margin expansion from improved utilization of GK's processing facilities, with incremental cross-selling opportunity of CTAS' diversified solutions into GK's customer base. We believe the improved long-term operating margin outlook for CTAS is balanced by near-term EPS dilution from deal amortization and additional anticipated SAP implementation costs." (3/23/2017)
