Service Corporation International (US8175651046) stock last traded at USD 82.87, after MarketBeat said the shares moved below their 50-day moving average of USD 81.43 on September 4, 2026. The same update put volume at 654,474 shares and market capitalization at USD 11.29 billion.

Analysts still point higher

MarketBeat reported a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and an average price target of USD 100.67 on September 4, 2026. UBS Group had raised its price objective from USD 93.00 to USD 105.00, while Weiss Ratings reiterated a hold rating and Wall Street Zen lifted its view to hold.

The comparison is clear: at USD 82.87, the stock traded below the average target by USD 17.80, or 17.7 percent, and also below UBS Group's USD 105.00 objective by USD 22.13. That gap is now wider than the one between the latest quote and the 50-day average.

Quarterly numbers are firm

Service Corporation International said in its July 29, 2026 earnings report that second-quarter revenue reached USD 1.10 billion, up 3.6 percent year over year from USD 1.08 billion. Earnings per share came in at USD 0.90, one cent above consensus, and net margin was 12.30 percent.

The same report set FY 2026 guidance at USD 4.10 to USD 4.30 in EPS. That range sits above the quarter just reported and gives investors a simple check on execution for the rest of the year.
