WILMINGTON, Mass., Jan. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of UniFirst Corporation (NYSE:UNF) today declared regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.350 per share (35.0 cents) on the Company's Common Stock and $0.280 per share (28.0 cents) on the Company's Class B Common Stock. Both dividends are payable on March 28, 2025 to shareholders of record on March 7, 2025.

UNF's first-quarter fiscal 2025 results benefit from higher revenues from the Core Laundry Operations segment.

I recommend a Hold rating for UniFirst Corporation. UNF reported 1.9% y/y revenue growth, but declining net wearer levels and a challenging pricing environment are concerns. Elevated operating expenses from technology and ERP investments may negatively impact near-term margins.
