What the Analysts think about CSV
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Carriage Services stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Carriage Services stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Funeral activity recovered in the third quarter: same-store contracts rose 2.3%, average revenue per contract grew 1.9%, and insurance-funded preneed contracts sold increased 7%. That gives the company a stronger base for organic growth after a weak first half. (Carriage Services)
Carriage has more than $14 million of annual revenue in acquisitions under contract or letter of intent, with closings expected later this year and in early 2027. If completed on attractive terms, these deals could add growth and expand its presence in selected markets. (Carriage Services, The Motley Fool)
A new $300 million credit facility adds $50 million of committed capacity and runs to 2031, improving liquidity and financial flexibility. The company also expects lower borrowing margins as leverage falls below 4.0 times. (GlobeNewswire)
Carriage cut its 2026 revenue outlook to $415–420 million from $435–445 million, and its adjusted EPS range to $2.90–3.05 from $3.35–3.55. The reset signals that weaker results and delayed acquisitions are weighing on near-term earnings. (Carriage Services)
Cemetery operations remain a weak spot: comparable revenue fell 7.8% in the third quarter as preneed property sales volumes dropped. Continued sales-execution problems could leave a meaningful part of the business dragging on results. (Carriage Services)
Bank leverage was 4.1 times in the third quarter, above the company’s new 3.0–3.5 times target, while $400 million of senior notes mature in May 2029. The gap makes debt reduction and refinancing important priorities, particularly if operating performance stays soft. (The Motley Fool, Carriage Services)
