How to read these bars and different assessments
Council is a separate blend of available disciplines; MoonshotScore above remains the five-pillar research rating.
Bars show each model's ordered assessment on its own scale, not a probability or a comparable investment return. The adjacent words give the assessment; more filled segments indicate a stronger model reading.
Three of these lenses read this company less favourably than the MoonshotScore does: Griffin-style lens, Englander-style lens and Klarman-style lens. Each lens is a separate scoring function over its own inputs, so a disagreement is a difference of method rather than a correction — the page's answer stays the MoonshotScore above.
On Sep 10, 2026, the Munger lens read the price at that time as fairly valued against its own estimate of value.
Readings on this page are from Oct 5, 2026, except a card that shows its own read date.

What is UniFirst (UNF), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
UniFirst owns inventory, manages routes, and handles laundry and distribution.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
UniFirst owns inventory, manages routes, and handles laundry and distribution. The company makes money on rental fees (the core business), manufacturing (when customers need custom garments), facility services (floor mats, cleaning supplies), and first aid services. The rental business is sticky—once a customer adopts a rental program, switching costs are high. Revenue is diversified across automotive, food service, healthcare, manufacturing, and other industries.
What do the latest results show for UniFirst (UNF)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q3 FY2026, carried revenue of $634M.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
The most recent quarter beat analyst expectations on both revenue and earnings, continuing a trend of modest outperformance. The company has beaten estimates in every recent quarter. Operating margins remain stable around the mid-single-digit range. Quarterly earnings fluctuate seasonally—fall and winter quarters are stronger than spring and early summer.
Where is operating spending going?

What are the financial strengths and risks for UniFirst (UNF)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $168.88M at the May 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $50.88M for the quarter ended May 30, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
UniFirst carries almost no debt and maintains robust cash reserves. The balance sheet is among the healthiest in the sector, with a debt-to-equity ratio near zero. Operating cash flow is solid and covers capital spending comfortably. Current and quick ratios are well above one, meaning short-term liquidity is strong. The primary financial risk is customer concentration and the labor-intensive nature of the uniform-cleaning business.

What should you watch next at UniFirst (UNF)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Oct 28, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Watch the next quarter for signs of same-store sales trends and customer retention. Labor cost inflation is a persistent headwind in uniform-service businesses, so monitor whether the company can pass through price increases. The dividend is modest but stable. Insider activity has been minimal and routine.
How does UniFirst compare with its peers?
Short answer
UniFirst's score ranks 7th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
UniFirst differs from pure laundries because it owns the inventory and relationships, not just the equipment. It differs from textile manufacturers because it focuses on service and recurring revenue, not one-time sales. The business model creates moats—route consolidation, customer switching costs, and economies of scale in laundry operations. Competitors like Cintas operate a similar model but with different product mixes and geographic coverage.

UniFirst Industrials Stock: Key Questions Answered
Research dated 2026-09-13; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 3 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
Why are some quarters so much stronger than others?
Fall and winter quarters are strong because businesses increase hiring and ramp up production. Spring and early summer are softer as activity normalizes. The seasonal pattern is predictable and reflects customer business cycles.
How does UniFirst compete against just buying uniforms?
Customers who rent uniforms outsource the cleaning, management, and replacement burden to UniFirst. This saves them capital (no inventory to purchase) and operating cost (no laundry overhead). Customers can pass uniforms back if damaged. The service model is sticky.
Is UniFirst's balance sheet really this strong?
Yes. Debt-to-equity is near zero, cash covers operating needs, and the Altman distress score is well above safety. The business generates steady cash flow and requires modest capital relative to revenue. The company has not needed to lever up.
What happens if labor costs spike?
UniFirst's model depends on efficient laundry operations with controlled labor. If wages escalate faster than pricing power allows, margin compresses. The company has historically managed price increases, but sustained inflation could be a risk.
What is the UNF stock price today?
The last price recorded on this page for UniFirst Corporation (UNF) is $255.30, as of the Oct 5, 2026 trading session (source: Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) · quote). It is a provider snapshot, not a live exchange feed, so check a brokerage quote before you trade.
What is the UNF price target?
The analyst consensus price target for UniFirst Corporation (UNF) is $262.00 (range $262.00 to $262.00, median $262.00), per FMP data captured Oct 5, 2026. Targets are analyst opinions and change often; they are not a Stock Expert AI forecast.
Does UNF pay a dividend?
Yes. UniFirst Corporation (UNF) shows a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 0.58%, as of Oct 2, 2026, in the data on this page. Payout ratio and cash-flow coverage decide whether it can last, and past dividends do not guarantee future payments.

The 78 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
