Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 4 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, Cintas ranks 1 of 5. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes. ## How Does Cintas Compare With Its Peers? | Company | Revenue (latest FY) | Revenue growth | Operating margin | Net margin | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Cintas (CTAS)** | $11.3 billion FY2026 | 8.9% | 23.1% | 17.8% | | [V.F. Corporation (VFC)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/v-f-corporation/) | $9.6 billion FY2026 | 1.1% | 6.0% | 2.7% | | [PVH Corp.

(OXM)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/oxford-industries-inc/) | $1.5 billion FY2026 | -2.6% | -2.1% | -1.9% | Revenue growth compares each company's latest fiscal year with the one before. Fiscal years do not always end on the same date, so treat close comparisons with care. ![Bar chart of operating margin for Cintas and 4 peers: Cintas (CTAS) 23.1%, V.F.

Ranks run from 1 (highest) and use each company's latest fiscal year, in U.S. dollars. | Measure | Cintas | Median of filers | Rank | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Revenue | $11.3 billion | $9.0 billion | 1 of 5 | | Revenue growth | 8.9% | 3.4% | 2 of 5 | | Operating margin | 23.1% | 6.0% | 1 of 5 | | Net margin | 17.8% | 2.7% | 1 of 5 | A SIC code reflects the filer's main business as the SEC records it, so the group mixes companies of very different size; the median is a better guide than the average, and a rank near the top by revenue says nothing about quality. ## Where These Numbers Come From Every figure on this page is a value Cintas reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0000723254-26-000028 for fiscal year 2026). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 12, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary. Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Who are Cintas's competitors?
