ⓘHow to Read This Chart
This chart tracks the historical stock price of UniFirst over time. You can switch between daily, weekly, and monthly views and select custom time ranges — from a single day to the full available history. Use the toggle to view price changes in absolute currency terms or as a percentage change relative to the starting date.
Total Return vs. Price Return
The "Total Return" toggle includes reinvested dividends on top of the pure price movement. This is critical because dividends can account for a significant portion of long-term returns. Historically, roughly 40 % of the S&P 500's total return has come from dividends. Always compare total return when evaluating a stock's real performance against a benchmark.
Intraday Price Data
When viewing a one-day time frame, the chart displays real-time intraday price movements. This is useful for observing how UniFirst stock reacts to market openings, earnings releases, or breaking news throughout the trading session.
What to Look For
Look for long-term trends (sustained upward or downward movements over months and years), support and resistance levels (price zones where the stock repeatedly bounces or reverses), and volatility (how much the price fluctuates day to day). Comparing UniFirst's price chart to a market index like the S&P 500 can reveal whether the stock is outperforming or underperforming the broader market.

Income Statement Key Figures
ⓘRevenue and Revenue Growth
Revenue is the starting point of every income statement — it measures the total sales UniFirst generates from its core business. Revenue growth (expressed as year-over-year percentage change) is one of the most important indicators of business momentum. Sustained growth above 10 % annually is generally considered strong, while declining revenue is a serious warning sign that demands investigation.
Gross Margin
Gross margin = (Revenue − Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Revenue. It reveals what percentage of each dollar of revenue UniFirst retains after direct production costs. High gross margins (above 50 %) are typical of asset-light businesses like software and brands, while capital-intensive industries like manufacturing often operate below 30 %. Compare UniFirst's gross margin to industry peers and track it over time to spot improving or deteriorating pricing power.
EBIT and EBIT Margin
EBIT measures operating profit — what remains after subtracting all operating expenses (including R&D, sales, and administrative costs) from gross profit. The EBIT margin shows this as a percentage of revenue. Because it excludes interest and taxes, EBIT allows fair comparisons between companies with different debt levels and tax jurisdictions. A rising EBIT margin indicates improving operational efficiency.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Net income is the company's final profit after all expenses, interest, and taxes. Dividing net income by the number of shares outstanding gives you EPS — the single most influential metric in stock valuation. Consistent EPS growth is the primary driver of long-term stock price appreciation. Always check whether EPS growth comes from genuine profit improvement or from share buybacks reducing the share count.
Shares Outstanding
The total number of shares UniFirst has issued. A declining share count (through buybacks) boosts EPS and signals management confidence. A rising share count (through stock issuance) dilutes existing shareholders. Always monitor this number alongside EPS to get the full picture of per-share value creation.
Analyst Estimates
The projected figures represent consensus estimates from professional analysts. Compare these forecasts against UniFirst's historical growth rates to assess whether expectations are realistic. A company that consistently beats consensus estimates tends to see its stock price rewarded over time, while repeated misses erode investor confidence.

UniFirst business model & stock analysis
UniFirst SWOT Analysis
Strengths
1. Established Market Presence
UniFirst Corp has a strong and well-established market presence, with a long history of serving customers in the uniform rental and facility services industry.
2. Diverse Product Offering
The company offers a wide range of products and services, including uniforms, protective clothing, healthcare garments, and facility service programs. This diversification helps UniFirst to cater to various customer needs and enhance its revenue streams.
3. Strong Customer Relationships
UniFirst has developed strong and long-lasting relationships with its customers, which has been a key factor in its success. The company focuses on delivering high-quality products and excellent customer service, leading to customer loyalty and repeat business.
Weaknesses
1. Dependence on Key Customers
A significant portion of UniFirst's revenue comes from a few key customers. This dependence on a small number of clients increases the risk associated with losing one or more of these customers, which could have a negative impact on the company's financial performance.
2. Higher Operating Costs
UniFirst faces higher operating costs due to various factors, such as maintaining an extensive delivery network, managing large inventory levels, and complying with industry regulations. These higher costs can impact the company's profitability and competitive position.
3. Limited International Presence
UniFirst operates primarily in the United States and Canada, which limits its international growth opportunities. Expanding into new markets requires significant investments and facing potential challenges related to cultural differences and regulatory environments.
Opportunities
1. Growing Demand for Workwear
As businesses focus on employee safety and brand image, the demand for high-quality workwear is increasing. UniFirst can capitalize on this trend by offering innovative and customized solutions to different industries, attracting new customers and increasing market share.
2. Potential Market Expansion
UniFirst has opportunities to expand its market reach by exploring new geographic regions within the United States and Canada. By targeting underserved areas and effectively marketing its services, the company can attract new customers and boost its revenue.
3. Technological Advancements
Rapid advancements in technology present opportunities for UniFirst to streamline its operations and improve efficiency. Automation, data analytics, and digital solutions can enhance inventory management, order processing, and overall customer experience.
Threats
1. Intense Competition
The uniform rental and facility services industry is highly competitive, with several established players and new entrants. UniFirst faces the risk of losing market share and profitability due to aggressive pricing, innovative product offerings, or superior customer service from its competitors.
2. Economic Downturns
During economic downturns or recessions, businesses may cut costs, leading to reduced demand for UniFirst's services. Economic uncertainties, such as fluctuations in labor markets and consumer spending, can impact the company's financial performance.
3. Regulatory Compliance
The uniform rental industry is subject to various regulations related to workplace safety, environmental standards, and employment practices. Compliance with these regulations adds complexity and costs to UniFirst's operations, and any failure to adhere to these regulations could result in penalties and reputational damage.

Annual Return
ⓘWhat This Chart Shows
This chart breaks down 's total annual return into two components: price return (gains or losses from stock price movement) and dividend return (income received from dividend payments). Together, they represent the total return an investor would have earned in each calendar year.
Price Return
Price return measures the percentage change in 's stock price from January 1st to December 31st of each year. Positive bars indicate the stock appreciated; negative bars show a decline. This is the component most investors focus on, but it tells only part of the story — especially for dividend-paying stocks.
Dividend Return
Dividend return represents the income generated from dividends paid during the year, expressed as a percentage of the starting stock price. While it may seem small in any single year (typically 1–4 % for established companies), dividends compound significantly over decades and have historically contributed roughly 40 % of total stock market returns.
What to Look For
Examine how many years showed positive vs. negative returns to gauge consistency. A stock with mostly positive years and small drawdowns suggests lower risk. Also compare 's annual returns to a benchmark index — consistently outperforming the market is a hallmark of a strong investment. Pay attention to the worst years: understanding downside risk is just as important as chasing upside potential.
