Service Corporation International
Service Corporation International shows steady positive price momentum near its 52-week high supported by bullish technical signals and above-average volume. Fundamentally, the company combines solid profitability and free cash flow generation with high leverage and tight liquidity, creating a mixed risk profile. Valuation multiples appear elevated relative to balance-sheet strength but are partly offset by high returns on equity and ongoing dividend payments.
