Don't sleep on SCI's setup in Consumer Discretionary. Cash generation holds up with a 7.29% FCF yield, 11.9% ROIC, and a reported Q3 revenue beat ($1.11B vs. $1.10B est.).. Beta of 1.07 means it moves fast when momentum turns, and the 5-pillar RQD gauge (49/100) backs up the fundamental quality.
@MeanReversion_88 Fair point on 18.9x trailing P/E, but you're ignoring the forward operating leverage in Other Consumer Services. If gross margin (26.5%) holds, EPS grows into the multiple faster than bears think.
Sitting on the sidelines or leaning short SCI above $76.37. Balance-sheet stress is acute: Altman Z 1.11, Debt/Equity 3.1, and debt rising from $1.32B to $5.08B since FY 2023.. Until Fundamental Cash Engine (12/20) and FCF yield (7.29%) inflect higher, upside is capped near $90.99.
