Carriage Services (CSV) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.63 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.53 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.53 per share a year ago.
Carriage is undervalued due to at-a-glance impressions of high leverage and a one-time decline in revenue. At a closer look, the Company's debt has favorable terms and is being paid down in large amounts with excess cash flow. Industry experts support CSV's potential and valuation, with a private valuation indicating the stock price should be almost double the current price.
