US’ UniFirst sees stable Q2 growth, Cintas acquisition on track

UniFirst reaffirmed its acquisition by Cintas, expected to close in the second half of 2026.
It reported a 3.4 per cent rise YoY in Q2 FY26 revenue to $622.5 million, driven by core segment growth.
However, profits declined due to investments and additional costs.
CEO Sintros highlighted operational efficiency gains and strong customer loyalty supported by its service-driven model.
