Service Corporation International (ISIN US8175651046) traded at USD 77.14 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, up 0.84 percent from the prior session. The company reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.90 versus a USD 0.89 consensus estimate, giving the stock a fresh earnings anchor.

Shares test a key chart level

As MarketBeat reported on October 2, 2026, SCI traded as low as USD 76.30 against a 50-day moving average of USD 81.94, with 1,054,928 shares changing hands. The reference price stood above the session low of USD 76.33 and below the day high of USD 77.55.

That chart gap matters because the stock remains within a broad USD 68.41 to USD 90.99 52-week range. The market capitalization was USD 10.5 billion on October 2, 2026, giving the earnings result a mid-cap valuation context.

Revenue growth supports guidance

MarketBeat reported that SCI generated USD 1.10 billion of revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with USD 1.08 billion expected and 3.6 percent growth from the prior-year quarter. EPS increased from USD 0.88 in the comparable period to USD 0.90, a USD 0.02 improvement.

The company maintained fiscal 2026 EPS guidance of USD 4.10-4.30, while the quarterly result exceeded consensus by USD 0.01. The combination of revenue growth and a maintained range leaves the next earnings release as the key test of whether the second-quarter beat can extend through the second half.

Analysts see upside to targets

MarketBeat cited a Buy consensus from four analysts and an average price target of USD 100.67. Against the USD 77.14 reference price on October 2, 2026, that target lies 30.5 percent above the price, although the stock's position below the USD 81.94 50-day average remains a counter-factor.

UBS raised its target from USD 93.00 to USD 105.00 and assigned a Buy rating in a report dated July 31, 2026, according to MarketBeat.
