UniFirst Corp. Stock Plummets to New 52-Week Low of $154.04

UniFirst Corp., a small-cap player in the Tour and Travel Related Services industry, has recently reached a new 52-week low of USD 154.04 on October 22, 2025. This marks a significant decline from its 52-week high of USD 243.70, reflecting ongoing challenges in the market.
Despite a one-year performance of 9.17%, UniFirst has underperformed compared to the S&P 500, which recorded a gain of 15.06% during the same period. The company's market capitalization stands at USD 3,113 million, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 22.00. The dividend yield is currently at 0.63%, and the debt-to-equity ratio is notably low at -0.09, indicating a conservative approach to leverage.

In terms of profitability, UniFirst has reported positive results for the last four consecutive quarters, with an operating cash flow peaking at USD 298.74 million. The return on equity (ROE) is 6.98%, and the price-to-book ratio is 1.43, suggesting a valuation that is attractive relative to its historical performance. However, the stock's consistent underperformance against benchmarks over the past three years raises questions about its market position.
