Service Corp Set to Report Q1 Earnings: Here's What to Expect
Read MoreHide Full Article
Service Corporation International (SCI - Free Report) is likely to register growth in its top and bottom lines when it reports first-quarter 2025 earnings on April 30. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.05 billion, indicating a 0.8% increase from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for quarterly earnings has been unchanged in the past 30 days at 90 cents per share, which suggests a 1.1% jump from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter. SCI has a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 0.6%, on average. (Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.)
Service Corp benefits from its recession-resilient business model and diverse portfolio of services, including pre-need and at-need funeral and cemetery offerings. Favorable demographics, including the aging baby boomer population and urbanization trends, keep the company well-positioned. Strategic investments in high-growth regions like California, Florida and Texas, as well as acquisitions of funeral homes and cemeteries, bolster its footprint and service capabilities. These upsides are likely to aid results in the quarter under review.
Service Corp has been reaping benefits from growing revenues in the Cemetery segment for a while. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly Cemetery revenues is pegged at $446.4 million, reflecting an increase from $440.6 million reported in the year-ago quarter. In addition, the Funeral segment is showing positive momentum, contributing to the company’s overall revenue growth. The consensus estimate for Funeral revenues stands at $607.3 million, marking a slight increase from the $604.7 million reported in the year-ago period.
