Carriage Services Announces 2024 Second Quarter Earnings Release and Conference Call Schedule

Carriage Services, Inc. has continued reporting stable earnings, showing great growth in pre-need cemetery sales. The company's strategy targets notable growth from continued M&A and ambitious organic growth, but the organic target should be taken with reasonable skepticism. Carriage Services, Inc.'s M&A has been quiet with no new acquisitions in the past year, the strategic alternative review ending with no results. A non-core divestiture is the most notable recent transaction.

Carriage Services Targets Continued M&A And Ambitious Organic Momentum

Carriage is undervalued due to at-a-glance impressions of high leverage and a one-time decline in revenue. At a closer look, the Company's debt has favorable terms and is being paid down in large amounts with excess cash flow. Industry experts support CSV's potential and valuation, with a private valuation indicating the stock price should be almost double the current price.
