Unifirst reports earnings this week. Look for an increase in revenue but another decrease in Gross Margin. They have been rallying in the last 90 days (up 24%) largely because they raised expectations and the success of CTAS (Cintas). However, because of their pricing structure, gross margin will continue to fall. I'm rating the stock to fall in 2012 unless management changes their pricing structure.

Based on past results and valuations at the competition, this company is fairly valued. However, during the economic downturn, they've done something I love -- they've increased the budget for marketing and the sales force. Once hiring picks back up, they should see more than their share of growth from an improved market share. Low debt, +20% return on tangible assets, and a consistent dividend are enough to keep me interested until then.

If anyone has some numbers on the movement of relative market share, I'd love to hear it. I've personally seen more of their trucks and products around, but the plural of anecdote isn't data.
