SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND UPDATES FOURTH QUARTER OUTLOOK
Service Corporation International reported Q3 2026 revenue of $1,107.3 million, up 5% year-over-year, with GAAP EPS up 24% to $1.03 and adjusted EPS up 11% to $0.97. Operating cash flow rose 18% to $296.8 million, and preneed sales production grew 6% in funeral and 5% in cemetery, but margins were pressured by higher healthcare, selling compensation, and advertising costs. The company updated its Q4 outlook to adjusted EPS of $1.10-$1.20 and full-year adjusted EPS of $3.94-$4.04, reflecting lower-than-expected funeral volumes and continued cost pressure, while confirming full-year adjusted operating cash flow guidance at a $1,085 million midpoint.
