Cintas (NASDAQ:CTAS) Bolsa, Informe de interés en corto

Cintas

Cintas has roots tracing back to 1929, during which the Farmer family cleaned and re-sold dirty rags to manufacturing plants in Ohio. The firm has grown its business organically and through acquisitions, and today Cintas acts as a one-stop outsourcing partner for businesses. Cintas will design, manufacture, collect, and clean every employee uniform for a small weekly sum, taking on the upfront capital expense itself. In the same stop, Cintas can also replace soiled or depleted mats, mops, trash liners, towels, first aid, fire, and cleaning products. Businesses value an outsourcing partner like Cintas as it simplifies operations and leaves noncore tasks with high regulatory standards in the hands of professionals.

The day after a volatile Federal Reserve meeting, Wall Street grappled with the stark reality of Fed Chair <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jerome-powell">Jerome Powell</a>&#8216;s cautious tone on cutting interest rates in 2024. The message left investors weighing the impact of higher-for-longer interest rates amid<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42585715/us-gdp-upwardly-revised-to-31-in-q3-jobless-claims-drop-more-than-expected-treasury-yields-hit-7-month-highs"> a still-resilient economy.</a>
Despite the hawkish undertones, stocks managed to stabilize, with major indices posting modest gains as dip-buyers emerged.
The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.5%, recovering from a steep 3% selloff on Wednesday—its worst one-day drop since September 2022. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.4%, attempting to break a staggering 10-day losing streak, its longest since 1974, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 edged 0.3% higher. 
While equities regained some ground, market conviction remains tepid as investors brace for Friday's release of the November inflation report, a critical data point for the Federal Reserve&#8217;s future policy decisions. The report could either reaffirm the Fed's hawkish stance or inject hope for an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42598354/wall-street-pins-hopes-on-fridays-crucial-fed-inflation-report-yet-a-miracle-is-needed-to-shift-the-narrative">lower-than-expected data.</a>
Thursday's economic data continued to underscore the resilience of the U.S. economy. Third-quarter GDP growth was upwardly revised from 2.8% to 3.1%, amid strong consumer spending. Weekly jobless claims fell to 220,000 last week, below forecasts of 230,000, signaling a still-tight labor market.
The bond market extended its selloff, with longer-dated Treasuries taking the biggest hit. Fixed-income investors remain under pressure, exacerbated by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42594797/trump-wants-to-get-rid-of-the-debt-ceiling-30-year-treasury-bonds-fall-to-2024-lows-stocks-cut-gains">recent comments from Donald Trump,</a> who floated the idea of eliminating the U.S. debt ceiling entirely—a development that could upend Treasury market dynamics.
In currency markets, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) rose 0.2%, hitting its highest level since November 2022, supported by robust economic data.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) remained flat at $100,000, following Wednesday&#8217;s 5.6% plunge.

Shares of commercial services and supplies companies are trading higher after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election.

The <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/economic-reports/upcoming/">economic data</a> has been mixed for the last year but remains sufficient to sustain solid GDP growth, indicating growing activity, which is good news for <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/business-services/">business services</a> companies. Business services companies provide value to other businesses with products and services that reduce time and costs, helping to sustain margins in critical industries. The critical detail for investors is that these businesses are supported by economic tailwinds in 2025, produce ample cash flow, and pay investors to own them. The tailwinds in place are driving the market action in 2024 and have them set up for double-digit gains in 2025, not counting the dividend payments.&nbsp;
<h3>Cintas: Helping America&#39;s Workforce Look Good</h3>
Cintas (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ctas#NASDAQ">CTAS</a>) is the leading player in uniform and facility services, providing services to various industries. The company has been growing steadily for decades due to its acquisitional and organic strategy, consolidating a fractured market while deepening penetration in existing territories. The two operational segments are Uniforms and Other, including facility services such as mats, rugs, bathroom supplies, first aid &amp; safety, fire protection, PPE, and compliance.&nbsp;
Highlights from 2024 include sustained <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/CTAS/earnings/">high-single-digit growth</a>, widening margin, and outperformance that is sustained in the first fiscal quarter of 2025. The guidance for the year forecasts sequential revenue acceleration from Q1&#39;s 6.5% pace, resulting in an 11.4% gain for the year and a slight increase in the margin at the mid-point range. Cash flow is the critical detail, allowing the company flexibility to pay an annually increasing distribution and repurchase shares.&nbsp;
Cintas is a Dividend Aristocrat of the highest caliber, able to <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stock-ideas/3-stocks-to-neutralize-market-volatility-and-build-wealth/">sustain distribution increases</a> indefinitely, given the growth outlook and balance sheet. The payout is worth $1.56 per share after the recent stock split, about 0.75% in yield, and is expected to grow at a solid double-digit pace in 2025. Balance sheet highlights at the end of FQ1 2025 include reduced shareholder equity, but the loss is more than offset by increased treasury shares. The repurchase program reduced the count by 1%, providing a tailwind for the market expected to blow in 2025.&nbsp;
The analyst&#39;s trends provide another tailwind for this market. The consensus target implies fair value near $205 but has risen by 50% in the last year, with revisions leading to new all-time highs. The high-end range is near $245, a 20% increase from the consensus target.&nbsp;

<h3>Fastenal Manages Inventory For Manufacturing Industries&nbsp;</h3>
Fastenal (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fast#NASDAQ">FAST</a>) is a leader in fasteners ranging from common nails to OEM-specific automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. It is also a leader in inventory management and cost control, providing many on-site, near-site, and remote services. Services include maintaining inventories of business-related supplies, including but not limited to fasteners. On-site supplies range from tiny to moderately sized and can be stored and labeled with RFID or other tracking tools or delivered in vending applications. An employee that needs a box of screws, a can of glue, or a package of rubber gloves can walk up, quickly find what they need, and receive it without trouble while inventory is closely managed, a win-win for Fastenal clients.&nbsp;
Fastenal&#39;s <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/FAST/earnings/">2024 results</a> include sustained growth and an acceleration in Q3 attributed to the diversified model. The company&#39;s core fastener business faces headwinds due to macroeconomic conditions but is offset by the safety and maintenance segment. The outlook for 2025 is for the business to accelerate as macroeconomic headwinds, i.e., FOMC interest rate policy, ease. Analysts forecast a 7.5% increase in revenue and 8% in earnings for 2025.&nbsp;
Fastenal&#39;s <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stock-ideas/dividend-aristocrat-fastenal-goes-on-sale-buy-it-while-its-down/">capital return</a> is entirely dividends. The company pays $1.56 in 2024, worth about 2%, with shares near $77, and can sustain distribution growth if at a slower pace than recently. The payout ratio is nearly 75% but is not a significant hurdle due to the health of the balance sheet. Highlights from Q3 2024 include increased cash, inventory, and assets and decreased debt. Leverage is down, with long-term debt less than 0.5X cash, and equity is rising, up by 7.5%.&nbsp;
Analysts rate Fastenal as a Hold and view it as fairly valued trading near the all-time high, but revisions suggest new all-time highs will come soon. The revisions trend has increased the consensus by nearly 30% in the last year and 10% following the Q3 results, with the freshest targets 15% above the critical resistance target.&nbsp;

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 15 Years Ago, You Would Have $30,000 Today

Cintas's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTAS#NYSE">CTAS</a>) short percent of float has fallen 18.0% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.19 million shares sold short, which is 2.05% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.6 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Cintas Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1728675914_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Cintas has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Cintas's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Cintas's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.85%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
