Analysis
Carriage Services, Inc (CSV) currently trades at $34.92, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $27.81, implying the stock looks roughly 20.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 49/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Carriage Services, Inc generated revenue of $416M at a net margin of 10.6%. Revenue declined 0.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 18.0%. Net debt stands at $561M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $18.83 (bear case) to $77.46 (bull case); at $34.92, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 33% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -13% fair-value upside, at -20%, CSV screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 25 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($60.37) versus Dividend Discount ($4.99). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
