UniFirst Q2 fiscal 2026 revenue rises 3.4%, plans growth amid Cintas merger deal

UniFirst Corporation reported a 3.4% revenue increase to $622.5 million in Q2 fiscal 2026, driven by organic growth in its core Uniform & Facility Service segment. Operating income and net income declined due to planned investments in growth, digital transformation, and costs related to a pending merger with Cintas Corporation. UniFirst shareholders will receive cash and Cintas stock in the proposed acquisition expected to close in late 2026. The company continues to invest in growth initiatives while preparing for integration with Cintas, impacting margins and earnings per share.
