Service Corporation: The Quiet Dividend Machine You Probably Overlooked
Service Corporation International operates in a stable, fragmented industry with strong margins, predictable revenue, and a $16B backlog driven by preneed contracts and demographic trends. The company has a 20-year track record of consistent growth in revenue, cash flow, and shareholder returns through dividends and aggressive share buybacks. Even using conservative assumptions, SCI's valuation shows an IRR above 8%, with room for upside if margins or terminal growth rates exceed expectations.
