I retain my buy rating for UNF stock, as I expect margin to continue expanding as the business scales and controls costs. UNF reported 4.1% organic revenue growth, with strong margin expansion and positive Core Laundry segment performance. Revised growth expectations downward due to mixed topline outlook, but increased margin expectations.

UniFirst NYSE: UNF is a quality business with savvy management working hard to improve shareholder value. The efforts include upgrading technology to the latest in enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) software, helping drive margin.

UniFirst's (UNF) third-quarter fiscal 2024 results benefit from higher revenues from the Core Laundry Operations segment.
