Service Corp International (SCI)

More and more baby boomers are going to be customers of these dudes. Let's face it, people getting old and dying is a growth industry. Dad, don't worry about putting my in the will, I can make money from you kicking it in other ways.

I still feel strongly that the "funeral" industry is a long-hold stock opportunity.

catch the bounce and the small dividend

Because Of Obamia's Healthcare Plan more people than ever will die. That means all the babyboomers are headed for the grave. This morbid reality means this company is well positioned to take on many many more customers

Great business model huge service moat. Mangement needs to get a clue. Maybe someone else can come in and help the true value be realized! Where is Carl Icahn?...

People will probably still die

deathcare, what a great business

"...death and taxes"... need I say more

This company is in one of the most recession proof industries there is right now, but that still doesn't make me want to invest in this stock in particular.

SCI revenue has been declining the last 3-4 quarters, not a good sign. People are looking for any small sign to punish a company, decreasing revenues is just that. We are near a 52 week low, so there might be a bounce, especially if the market bounces too; however, this will fall eventually.

Down we go.

low PE with a company paying dividends, off the 52 week low

Thats right

We all will face two events in the civilized world; deaths and taxes. SCI is a mortuary business. It is recession proof and on its way back up. Several years ago it was a high growth businees that grew faser than it was ready to. International expansion including Europe and other international deals increased debt and different cultures trest death differnt. SCI had to exit a number of business from the $40 range only a couple of years earlier. Income and profits have on a steady rise over the last three or four years,

i like it.

The struggle goes on: man vs the pile of debt he has built up! Funeral biz is undergoing a fundamental change that shall not be reversed as cremation rolls in. The debt pile is huge already. Now lower revenue is allowing the debt plie to whip the company's butt, as if that hasn't happened enough already. There is a bright spot, though: SCI gets the award for "the most confusing explanation of their financials to make it look like they are doing better but they aren't". This stock could bury you.

Death care business is experiencing a fundamental change in how is operaten never to return. Cremation is here to stay and SCI has not calculated this factor into their projections as much as they should have. Profits get killed and acquisition debt eats them alive.

The stock is over priced by 30%

Death in inevitable and there are a lot of baby boomers that will be pushing the envelope soon :)

Bring out yer dead! Bring out the profits! Heh. Now that AWGI is out of the way, SCI should continue their good returns. Afterall, for all their products and services, clients are dying to get into them. Yuck, yuck, yuck...

great growth
