Built by QuantCommons' quantitative engine, this page is about relative opportunity, not data on CTAS alone. It places CTAS (Cintas Corporation) against 12 popular alternatives, its neighboring categories and the entire market of over 10,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, and surfaces what has done better on consistent outperformance, return for the risk taken, behavior in real market crashes and diversification. The result is a clearer view of where CTAS stands in the market, and of the alternatives worth a closer look.

Period covered: CTAS's full trading record, from October 1986 through September 2026. All returns include reinvested dividends. Data as of October 20, 2026.

## Key findings

- **Right now:** CTAS has outpaced the market, rising 22.1% over the past 6 months against 9.1% for the S&P 500 and 11.2% for the Nasdaq 100. Not every peer went the same way. Over the past 6 months, VSTS (Vestis) rose 42.2% and ROL (Rollins) fell 38.8%.
- **Stock or market?:** CTAS held up far better than its industry: it rose 7.8% over the past 3 months while the business services ETF XLI (State Street Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF) fell 6.1%. The S&P 500 rose 3.9%. CTAS rose 10.2% last month as the S&P 500 fell 0.6% and the Nasdaq 100 fell 3.2%.
- **Past 1 to 3 years:** CTAS led its business services peers in 2023, then fell behind ARMK (Aramark) and GHC (Graham) in 2025. The last two calendar years both went the same way: CTAS rose 3.8% in 2025, against 15.8% for the S&P 500 and 17.9% for the Nasdaq 100.
- **Long term:** CTAS turned $10,000 into $90,800 over the past decade, against $42,100 in the S&P 500. CTAS's 10-year return of 808% puts it ahead of 93% of the stocks worth at least $300 million with that much history. The S&P 500 returned 321%.
- **In a crash:** The Covid crash took 48.4% off CTAS, against 33.7% for the S&P 500. That was more than ECL (Ecolab, 40.3%) but less than ARMK (Aramark, 69.8%). CTAS fell further than the S&P 500 in two of the last three sell-offs, including the Covid crash (48.4% against 33.7%).
- **Diversification:** CTAS is some diversification, but not a hedge: a correlation of 0.59 with the S&P 500 over 5 years and 0.59 with the total US market, more closely than 88% of stocks worth at least $300 million. When the S&P 500 had a down month, CTAS usually fell with it (17 of 22 months).
- **Better options**
  - **Popular alternatives:** GWW (W.W. Grainger) earned more for the risk it took than CTAS over the past 5 years, and its worst fall in 10 years was 41.6%, against 48.4% for CTAS.
  - **Nearby categories and themes:** ESLT (Elbit Systems, aerospace & defense) earned more for the risk it took than CTAS over the past 5 years, and its worst fall in 10 years was 35.4%, against 48.4% for CTAS.
  - **Whole market:** Few investments have done better on both counts: only 24 of the 3,633 stocks and funds worth at least $500 million earned more than CTAS with less volatility over the past 5 years, among them GLD (SPDR Gold Shares), MO (Altria Group) and CM (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce).

## How much would $10,000 in CTAS have grown?

This chart tracks a hypothetical $10,000 investment in CTAS over the past 29 years, with dividends reinvested, alongside the same amount in the S&P 500, investments that ended ahead of CTAS over the same span and CTAS's popular alternatives, among those that traded for the entire period.

- $10,000 invested in CTAS at the end of September 1997 would have grown to $440,279 by September 2026, more than the $132,907 it would have become in SPY, an S&P 500 fund.
- Six of the eight other investments on the chart ended ahead of CTAS, and AAPL finished highest, at $20,534,853.

### What diversifies CTAS?

Correlation measures how closely two investments move together, on a scale from 1 (in lockstep) through 0 (unrelated) to -1 (in opposite directions).

- Moving a fifth of the money in CTAS into DXJ would have cut the portfolio's volatility by 18% over the past 5 years and raised its annual return (+16.5% for CTAS alone, +19.1% for the mix).
- Among large ETFs, LVHI, DXJ and FJAN have moved largely independently of CTAS over the past 5 years, with correlations of 0.47 or lower, and each still earned a positive 5-year return.

## Common questions

### What was CTAS's worst drawdown?

CTAS's deepest decline since it began trading in 1986 was 65.3%, from May 2002 to March 2009. It took about four years from the low to climb back to its old high.

### What were CTAS's best and worst years?

Over 29 full calendar years, CTAS's best year was 1998, when it returned 81.4%. Its worst was 2008, with a return of -29.9%.

### Is there a better investment than CTAS?

Among CTAS's popular alternatives, GWW earned more for the risk it took than CTAS over the past 5 years, and its worst fall in 10 years was 41.6%, against 48.4% for CTAS. Looking beyond its popular alternatives, ESLT (aerospace & defense) earned more for the risk it took than CTAS over the past 5 years, and its worst fall in 10 years was 35.4%, against 48.4% for CTAS.

### Is CTAS more volatile than the S&P 500?

Yes. CTAS's volatility over the past 5 years was 23.1%, 1.3 times the S&P 500's 17.1%. Volatility measures how widely returns swing around their average: in roughly two years out of three, CTAS's return lands within 23.1% of its average, either way. The higher it is, the rougher the ride and the harder it is to hold through a slump.

### What is CTAS's Sharpe ratio?

CTAS's Sharpe ratio over the past 5 years was 0.78, against 0.79 for the S&P 500, so CTAS earned less for each unit of risk than an index fund did.
