Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Analysis | Feedback

Here are the key points explaining the -0.8% movement in Service International (SCI) stock for the approximate time period from August 31, 2025, to December 30, 2025:

1. Negative Initial Reaction to Q3 2025 Earnings News

Despite Service Corporation International reporting strong third-quarter 2025 results on October 29, 2025, with earnings per share (EPS) of $0.87, beating the consensus estimate of $0.83, and revenue of $1.06 billion surpassing expectations, the stock experienced a mild negative market reaction, declining 1.06% on October 16, 2025, the day the Q3 earnings release schedule was announced. This suggests that while the actual results were positive, the market might have already priced in the good news or had other concerns influencing the immediate response.

2. Broader Market Underperformance

Over the year leading up to December 2025, SCI underperformed the broader U.S. market, which posted a 17% return. This indicates that even with company-specific positive developments, the stock struggled to keep pace with overall market gains, potentially contributing to a slight decline relative to market trends.

AI Analysis | Feedback

The key risks to Service Corporation International's (SCI) business include the continuing shift from traditional burial to cremation, risks associated with its significant preneed business, and the challenges posed by its high fixed-cost structure in an inflationary environment.

  • Continuing Shift from Traditional Burial to Cremation: The most significant structural headwind for SCI is the national shift from traditional, full-service burial to cremation, which generates lower average revenue per service and inherently puts pressure on margins. While SCI has adapted, with its comparable cremation rate reaching 63.8% in 2024, this trend could result in lower revenue, operating profit, and cash flows.

  • Risks Associated with the Preneed Business: SCI's substantial preneed business, where customers pay for services in advance, carries significant regulatory and investment risks. As of late 2024, the company's unfulfilled preneed backlog was a staggering $16.0 billion, a large portion of which is held in affiliated funeral and cemetery trusts that invest in securities markets. Should these investments experience significant declines, or if inflation drives the cost of future services higher than the trust earnings, SCI may be required to cover the shortfall with cash from operations. The company also faces challenges in converting preneed contracts into recognized revenue, as inflation and interest rate volatility complicate long-term financial planning.

  • High Fixed-Cost Structure and Vulnerability to Inflation: The deathcare industry is inherently capital-intensive, meaning a large portion of SCI's operating costs are fixed, including real estate, maintenance for its numerous locations, and permanent staff. While a high fixed-cost structure offers operating leverage when revenue is strong, persistent inflation and rising operating expenses can quickly erode margins. Managing these costs effectively is crucial, particularly in an environment of high interest rates and inflation.

AI Analysis | Feedback

Service Corporation International (SCI) is anticipated to drive future revenue growth over the next two to three years through several key strategies and market dynamics:

  1. Favorable Demographic Trends: SCI benefits significantly from the aging of the baby boomer generation, which is leading to a structural increase in demand for funeral and cemetery services. This long-term demographic shift serves as a powerful tailwind for the company's growth.

  2. Growth in Preneed Sales: The company expects low to mid-single-digit growth in preneed sales across both its funeral and cemetery segments. This includes an anticipated year-over-year sales production growth for SCI Direct in early 2026. Notably, comparable preneed cemetery sales production increased by 9.6% in the third quarter of 2025.

  3. Strategic Acquisitions and Capital Investments: SCI is actively pursuing growth through disciplined capital deployment, including strategic acquisitions and investments in real estate for future expansion. The company also focuses on facility upgrades and cemetery development to enhance its offerings and market presence.

  4. Increased Average Revenue Per Funeral Service: The funeral segment has experienced growth driven by rising average revenue per service. This is partly due to older preneed contracts maturing with higher cumulative trust earnings and a 2024 operational decision to no longer deliver preneed merchandise at the time of sale, which is expected to continue this impressive growth.

  5. Transition to Insurance-Funded Preneed Products: A strategic initiative involves transitioning to insurance-funded preneed products, particularly within SCI Direct. While this has led to some initial declines in production during the phased rollout, it is expected to contribute to year-over-year sales production growth again for SCI Direct as a whole in early 2026.
