UniFirst Just Went On Sale
Despite a Q3 revenue miss, UniFirst's earnings beat expectations and management raised full-year EPS guidance, signaling confidence amid end-market caution. The company remains fundamentally strong: revenue, profits, and cash flow are growing, with a debt-free balance sheet and $211.9 million in cash. UniFirst shares are attractively valued, especially versus Cintas, and management is actively repurchasing stock and investing in growth initiatives.

UniFirst: End-Market Weakness Is Transitional, Initiate With Buy Rating
Initiating UniFirst Corporation with a Buy rating and $209 fair value, as core laundry business recovery is likely with easing rates and trade policy clarity. UniFirst benefits from a diversified customer base and robust US service network, but remains smaller than Cintas, its primary competitor. Current growth is sluggish due to weak industrial demand and hiring, but I expect a rebound as macro headwinds subside and ERP-driven efficiencies materialize.
