The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- CTAS closes above its 50-day average ($206.46), and the 50-day sits above the 200-day ($191.02): on both averages the chart reads as an uptrend.
- At $222.36, CTAS is 4.8% below its 1-year high of $233.46, set on November 5, 2026, and 38.0% above its 1-year low of $161.16 (May 13, 2026).
- Over the past month CTAS rose 10.6%, from $201.12 to $222.36.
- CTAS trades at 43.9x its last twelve months of earnings and 36.1x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 21.5% higher.
- CTAS's 30-day volatility, 27.2% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.7%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.86: over five years of monthly returns, CTAS moved about 0.86% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close under the 50-day average, $206.46 (−7.1% from the last close), would turn the read to a pullback; under the 200-day, $191.02 (−14.1%), the longer rise is in question.
- A close above $233.46 (+5.0%) would be a new 1-year high; below $161.16 (−27.5%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for CTAS, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
