Why now
Personal Services · market cap $11.9b. 5% off the 52-week high of $90.88. 6 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $96.33 (implying +12% upside).
Moat
Net margin 12% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 34% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. FCF converts 107% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
D/E 3.26 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer.
Horizon
1-3 yr $96.33 (6-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $141.04 at ~10% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $209.23 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Is SCI a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores SCI 51.4 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. A score is a quantitative screen of Service Corporation International's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does SCI score 51.4 on Bull Rankings?
The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). SCI grades middle-of-pack across the strip. Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.
Is SCI overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $86.00, SCI sits about 5% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 8% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 22.7x× P/E (graded B). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in SCI?
D/E 3.26 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer.
