Seeking Alpha author Daniel Jones made the following comment in this opinion article titled “Carriage Services is coming back to life” published last week about the company:

“. . . I believe that the market is currently underestimating Carriage Services. The business has done a fine job of reorienting itself over the last couple of years, and it clearly is back in growth mode. . “

As is Funeral Director Daily’s policy for financial opinion articles, we will link the article and show some quotes on the article but let the reader make their own decisions as to the opinions given.

Jones makes the following claims at the beginning of the article about Carriage Services:

• “Carriage Services remains deeply undervalued, with strong top-line growth and demographic tailwinds positioning it for long-term success.”
• “CSV’s recent acquisitions and expansion into new markets signal a return to ‘growth mode’ after significant debt reduction and strategic review.”
• “Despite mixed profitability in recent years, 2025 guidance points to higher revenue, improved adjusted earnings, and attractive valuation versus peers.”
