Service Corp International Inc.

Texas-based Service Corporation International (SCI) deals with mortuaries and cemeteries. It is the largest such provider in the U.S. after a merger with Stewart Enterprises which was the second largest funeral services provider, a $1.4 billion acquisition. While SCI continues to due heavy financing, selling bonds and increasing outstanding stock shares, it is gobbling up and consolidating the funeral industry.

Elements of the corporate name are shared with other corporations, and in particular some confusion might result especially in obtaining news items with Service International, a foreign-based oil services industry stock.

This stock did not make the "cut" as a buy stock, as problems with its fundamental stucture showed up in the Zenith Index including havey intangibles, increasing heavy debt load, cash flow problems, and unfavorable borrowing rates. Also earnings are increasing faster than revenues on a percentage basis, a trend that is not sustainable.

The stock pays a 1.5% dividend, has good management reporting, but lacks a CEO Letter to Shareholders or glitzy annual report. Nonetheless, we think while executives may be somewhat overpaid, the company has reasonable governance. The stock looks fairly "safe" and predictable, currently at the top of a recent trading range and could make a good channeling (trading range) stock which may be now a good short sale.

The funeral industry faces challenges including when people decide to prepare for death, environmental concerns such as where to get water to keep cemeteries green, and labor problems. SCI has had problems with Teamsters union.

After a spate of acquisitions two or three years ago, news on this corporation is fairly limited to quarterly reports and occasional community involvement and capital expenditures. We regard this as a low-risk stock with excellent predictability.

Channeling Potential

 
The summary below includes a value for `Degree,' which refers on a
scale of 1 to 10 the range of a channel in the period under consi-
deration compared to the total range of price movement. It also looks
for the last closing price to be within the channel, otherwise zeroed.
The `Index' is the `Degree' weighted for volatility.  Generally, the
the higher the index, the more suitable is the stock for trading as
a `rolling stock' between channel high and low points.

Neural Network Prediction

"Neurostock" can only track long trades. Therefore its performance, as tracked by itself on stocks which are consistently falling, may not appear as good as it could if each "sell" signal were a "short sale."
