Cintas pays a quarterly dividend of $0.52 per share. Its most recent payment had an ex-date of August 14, 2026 and was paid on September 15, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $1.87 per share, a yield of about 0.97% at a share price of $193.02.
The per-share amounts in the table are not adjusted for share splits. The rate moved from $1.56 to $0.39 in November 2024, exactly one quarter of the earlier amount, and regular payments continued after that. That pattern is consistent with a four-for-one split, so only payments from November 2024 onward are comparable. Since then, Cintas paid $0.39 for three quarters, $0.45 from August 2025 and $0.52 from August 2026. The raises were six and seven cents, or about 15.4% and 15.6%. Both came with the payment that goes ex-dividend in mid-August. The current rate is about 33% above the $0.39 of November 2024. Payments in calendar 2025 totalled $1.68.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid around December 15. Past raises have come with the August payment.
