Stock health Momentum is mixed: 12-month return 14.04%, but 3-month change -0.81%. RSI(14) at 70.20 suggests overbought conditions. Strength (22.8) and growth (28.1) scores trail peers, while income (66.4) and valuation (46.9) are average.
Price vs fair value The stock trades at a **PREMIUM of 61.70%** to our fair-value estimate and a **discount of 13.34%** to the 12-month target. - Q2 2026 earnings beat estimates with 4% Y/Y revenue growth (Zacks, 2026-07-30). - Preneed cemetery momentum and margin improvements highlighted (StockStory, 2026-07-31). - Forward P/E of 19.42 and EV/EBITDA of 12.34 reflect pricing power but limit upside.
Looking forward Analysts see 12.6% upside to $96.67, driven by preneed sales and cost discipline. However, high leverage and valuation constraints cap near-term gains. Monitor Q3 preneed trends and margin sustainability.
