Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Carriage Services, Inc. trades at $31.26, which is 24% above the $23.89 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure it screens as expensive, which is not the same as saying it will fall.
Our moat model scores it 35 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 13.4 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Common questions
Is Carriage Services, Inc. (CSV) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $23.89, CSV at $31.26 is 24% above fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
Which funds own CSV?
8 of the institutions we track reported a position in CSV in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
What is CSV's P/E ratio?
CSV trades at 13.4 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.
Does Carriage Services, Inc. (CSV) pay a dividend?
Yes. Carriage Services, Inc. yields 1.22% at the current share price. It has paid $0.452 per share over the trailing twelve months. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 15 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
