Advisors' Opinion:- [By Ben Levisohn]Cintas (CTAS) soared to the top of the S&P 500 today after the uniform provider received the go-ahead for its purchase of G&K Services (GK).

However, after strong appreciation since the G&K announcement last August, we believe that much of the good news is already priced in at 25x/22x our pro-forma FY18/FY19 adjusted EPS estimates. As a result, we rate CTAS Sector Perform and await a better entry point.
