Barclays reiterates an 'Equalweight' on Cintas (NASDAQ: CTAS) price target raised from $36 to $38.

Analyst, Gary E Bisbee, said, "We estimate F3Q'12 revenue growth of 8.9% (6.2% organic) y/y to $1,022 million, and a 24.3% y/y EPS rise to $0.51 (vs. the consensus $0.52). Additional expectations: We estimate Rentals and Other Services organic revenue growth of 6.5%/5.5% y/y, respectively, vs. +7.9%/+4.8% last quarter."

Bisbee rated the stock at equalweight, saying shares are fairly valued. He stated, "...we believe CTAS balances its strong recent growth and share repurchases with a weak growth track record and concerns over the long-term growth potential of the uniform units."
