Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Aramark, established in 1959, provides a comprehensive array of services encompassing food management, facility solutions, and uniform provision. The company serves a diverse global clientele, including educational institutions, healthcare providers, various businesses and industrial clients, sports and entertainment venues, leisure operators, and correctional facilities, both within the United States and internationally. Aramark organizes its operations into three primary divisions: U.S. Food and Support Services, International Food and Support Services, and Uniform and Career Apparel. Its extensive food-related offerings feature managed dining programs, catering solutions, food service management, and convenience retail options. This includes operating on-site restaurants, providing executive dining experiences, managing convenience stores, and offering beverage and vending services. For the sports, entertainment, and leisure sectors, it handles concessions, banquets, and event catering, in addition to retail sales, recreational, and lodging services. Furthermore, the company supplies specialized food services to correctional facilities. Beyond culinary services, Aramark delivers robust facility management and support services. In healthcare settings, this involves non-clinical assistance such as patient nutrition planning, retail food services, and procurement management. For various sites, it provides crucial operational support, including plant operations and maintenance, custodial and housekeeping services, energy management, groundskeeping, and capital project supervision. The company also handles broader facility management tasks like landscaping, transportation logistics, payment systems, and advisory services related to building operations.

Aramark is also a significant player in the uniform and apparel sector. Its services span the entire lifecycle of uniforms, from design, sourcing, and manufacturing to delivery, cleaning, maintenance, and marketing. Clients can rent a wide range of items, including various uniforms, specialized work attire, outerwear, particulate-free garments, and non-garment essentials such as floor mats, shop towels, and first aid supplies. The company was formerly known as ARAMARK Holdings Corporation before officially changing its name to Aramark in May 2014.

Free Float

High free float

Very liquid — most shares trade freely. Low insider ownership can mean less management alignment, but makes large position sizing straightforward.
Price History (1 Year)
Revenue & Net Income Trend
The directional story — useful even when net income is negative.
Revenue
The top line — total sales before any costs or taxes are subtracted. A measure of how much business the company is doing.
Net Income
The bottom line — profit left after subtracting all expenses, interest, and taxes from revenue. Reflects accounting profitability, but includes non-cash items like depreciation, so it isn't the same as cash earned.
Operating Cash Flow
The real cash generated by the day-to-day business — selling products, paying suppliers, collecting from customers. Calculated from net income by adding back non-cash items and adjusting for timing (unpaid bills, unsold inventory). When OCF consistently lags net income, the reported profit may not be converting to real money.
