Q3 FY2026 EarningsFY26 Q3 revenue of $634.4M slightly beat consensus of $627.7M (+1.1%), but profitability significantly missed expectations due to $20.7M in transaction-related costs from the Cintas merger. Normalized EPS reached $1.09, falling short of the $1.91 consensus, while the effective tax rate was much lower than expected at 18.5% (vs. 25.8%) due to prior-year adjustments. Organic growth remained healthy at 3.6% in the core Uniform segment, though operating margins were heavily pressured by M&A expenses.
