Service Corporation International Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Service Corporation has been benefiting from increased funeral revenues. A rise in velocity and sales averages has been working well for the company as it continues to gain on elevated leads. On its last earnings call, management stated that the percentage of families opting to have funerals has reverted to pre-pandemic levels. Also, the funeral sales average is being boosted by a rise in other revenues, including flowers and catering. The continuation of such trends bodes well for the segment in the quarter under review.
However, the company saw modest cost inflation related to normalized staffing and service levels and increased incentive compensations in the last reported quarter. The persistence of these factors might have affected profits in the quarter to be reported.
