Let me double check that. I have to run now for work. I thought the PE was around 30, too. Div wouldn't affect the PE . I've seen a lot of errors made in regard to CTAS financials. Many sources report the div as a quarterly number which it isn't, and multiply it by four. Easy mistake to make.

I don't know of any other major corp that only pays out once a year. And a PE of 42 seems ridiculously high.

later...

IHUB had wrong info on the PE ratio. Yahoo gives it as 28.7 which is in line with numbers I've seen in recent years. Still not dirt cheap.

Just noticed that CTAS burst thru $200. $206 in fact. I was actually thinking of selling some of mine last week.
