Cintas (NASDAQ:CTAS) Bolsa

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.

<li>Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a></li>
</ul>
One such investor, a 36-year-old with a $253,542 stock portfolio has recently turned to Reddit for advice. Despite his substantial holdings, he earns just $4,200 in annual dividends and admits his investments are &#8220;all over the place.&#8221;
&#8220;I feel like my portfolio is all over the place. I certainly don't feel I'm getting $4,000 annual dividends either. How would you restructure all this? Have no clear goals, but I'd like to retire early from work burnout,&#8221; he wrote.
His portfolio leans heavily into S&amp;P 500 ETFs like Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and tech stocks like Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), but commenters noted overlap, inefficiency, and low yield as major issues. His post sparked intense discussion, with many Redditors pointing out overlapping ETFs and a lack of focus in his strategy.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Investor With $253,000 In Stocks And Only $4.200 In Dividend Income Asks For Redirection–Reddit Delivers
Consolidate Overlapping ETFs and Ditch Underperformers
Many commenters pointed out that VOO and SPY track the same index, making one redundant, while others noted that individual stocks like Apple and Microsoft are already heavily weighted in his ETFs, creating unnecessary duplication.
&#8220;VOO and SPY are exactly the same thing, S&amp;P 500 index funds. You don&#8217;t need both. Your SPY is smaller than VOO, so sell SPY and put the money into VOO. You don&#8217;t need VOO/SPY and [Fidelity ZERO Total Market Index Fund (FZROX)] too. Since VOO has slightly outperformed FZROX, I would sell FZROX and put the money into VOO,&#8221; a Redditor advised.
Suggesting the poster trim speculative holdings, this commenter recommended a focus on long-term sustainable businesses or broad-market ETFs: &#8220;First of all, simplify by selling stocks from companies you don't know much about. If you're interested in a company and want to invest in them, just make sure they can last another 20 years in business. Second, if you're aiming now for a more long-term hold, try to even out the ETFs and dividends a little more.&#8221;
Also touching on the overlap, a Reddit user also mentioned the taxes the investor will need to pay if the dividend income is in a taxable account.
&#8220;Well, do you want to be in ETFs or individual stocks? You have overlap everywhere. Dividends are a waste since it is just your money being returned to you, and making a taxable event if these are in a taxable account. A lot of dead money in the Mikey market account,&#8221; he wrote.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t like this market, but I&#8217;d dump [Walt Disney (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dis#NYSE">DIS</a>)]. Swap out [Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amd#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)] for [Broadcom (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>)]. Buy some [Cintas Corp. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ctas#NASDAQ">CTAS</a>)],&#8221; a comment reads.

Don't Mix Dividends With Growth Blindly
Several Redditors argued that the poster is stuck between growth and income strategies, which is hurting his overall returns. Since he's only 36 years old, many suggested prioritizing growth now and shifting to dividends later.
&#8220;Read the Simple Path to Wealth and Bogle. Then stop chasing yield. You&#8217;re giving up valuable years of deep equity growth,&#8221; one Redditor advised.
Suggesting a focused approach on either pure growth or a dividend mix, a commenter mentioned two different ETFs and possible allocations.
&#8220;In my opinion, your 3 options are: 100% VOO, 100% [Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/schd#NYSE">SCHD</a>)], or 50/50 VOO/SCHD. Keep it simple. Pick one strategy and stick with it,&#8221; he said.
A Redditor touched on bonds, saying he doesn't think these assets are a good choice for a 36-year-old&#8217;s portfolio: &#8220;[Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund (FXNAX)] is a US bond fund. That&#8217;s the Boglehead influence. You don&#8217;t need bonds at 36 years old. Bonds aren&#8217;t going to grow your portfolio.&#8221;
&#8220;You&#8217;re young enough that you could simply buy VOO and nothing else for maximum returns and buy more dividends later, but if seeing a dividend amount returned every year motivates you, you could do SCHD as well,&#8221; a Reddit user recommended.&nbsp;

Top Wall Street Forecasters Revamp UniFirst Price Expectations Ahead Of Q2 Earnings

UniFirst Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNF#NYSE">UNF</a>) will release its second-quarter financial results before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNF/earnings">opening bell on Wednesday, April 2.</a>
Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at $1.34 per share, up from $1.12 per share in the year-ago period. UniFirst projects quarterly revenue of $602.81 million, compared to $590.71 million a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On March 24, Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTAS#NASDAQ">CTAS</a>) ended deal talks with UniFirst. The company had offered $275 per share in cash.
With the recent buzz around UniFirst, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends, too. Currently, UniFirst offers an annual dividend yield of 0.80%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend of 35 cents per share ($1.40 a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from UniFirst, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by UniFirst's $1.40 dividend: $6,000 / $1.40 = 4,286 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $745,764 worth of UniFirst, or 4,286 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $1.40 = 857 shares, or $149,118 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
UNF Price Action: Shares of UniFirst rose by 0.1% to close at $174.00 on Monday.

U.S. stocks declined on Wednesday, with all major indices in the red by midday in New York, as renewed concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">over tariffs rattled investors.</a>
President Donald Trump signaled that new trade duties on automobiles could be announced as early as today, while market participants are also bracing for April 2, which marks the start of reciprocal tariffs.
Technology shares, particularly semiconductor stocks, led the selloff, dragging the Nasdaq 100 sharply lower and trimming much of its weekly gains. Shares of Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) tumbled 5.9%, on track for the worst daily loss since early March, as investors fear further restrictions on chip exports to China. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) fell 3.4%. 
Meanwhile, blue-chip stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average were more resilient, supported by strength in the energy and consumer staples sectors. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), Wall Street's so-called "fear gauge," jumped 8% to 18.9.
The dollar and Treasury yields remained flat, reflecting a wait-and-see stance in the bond market amid uncertainty over the broader economic impact of potential tariffs.
In commodities, crude oil rose 1.4%, extending weekly gains to 2.5%—on track for its best week since early January—after a surprise drop in commercial inventories. Metals held steady, with copper holding record highs.
Bitcoin slipped 1% to $86,500 following a flat close the previous day.
