Service Corporation International Q2 beat and guidance raise valuation debate

Service Corporation International posted second quarter 2026 results that modestly exceeded expectations and reaffirmed full year earnings guidance, sparking debate over whether its premium valuation is justified. Sales rose to US$1,103.29 million from US$1,065.44 million a year earlier, net income edged up to US$124.83 million from US$122.87 million, and diluted earnings per share increased to US$0.90 from US$0.86. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 21.9 times, above the peer average of 17.1 times and the US Consumer Services industry average of 16.7 times, and slightly above an estimated fair P/E of 21.5 times. A discounted cash flow model from Simply Wall St suggests a fair value of US$105.58 per share, implying an 18.4 percent discount to the current price of US$86.19, contrasting with the richer earnings multiple signal.
