In the competitive landscape of corporate America, understanding the cost of revenue is crucial for evaluating a company's efficiency and profitability. This analysis focuses on two industry leaders: Cintas Corporation and Allegion plc, from 2014 to 2023.

Cintas Corporation, a leader in corporate identity uniforms, has seen its cost of revenue grow by approximately 76% over the past decade, reflecting its expanding operations and market reach. In contrast, Allegion plc, a global provider of security products, experienced a 72% increase in its cost of revenue, indicating its strategic investments in innovation and market expansion.
