Sr. V.P. Operations Services
42,400 shares
$3,236,057
@ $76.32
Significance 4/10

Sr. V.P. Nash Elisabeth G. sold 42,400 shares of SCI at $76.32; stock now $77.13, down 4.3% in 30 days.

Nash Elisabeth G. sold 42.4K shares (27.8% of her pre-transaction holdings of 152.4K shares) at $76.32 on 2025-12-04, reducing her position to 110.0K shares. The sale occurred near the upper-middle range of the 52-week band ($73.58–$87.95) and ahead of a subsequent decline—the stock has fallen 4.3% in the 30 days following the transaction. Across her prior three trades at SCI, her timing has been mixed: one prior sale on 2024-11-18 was followed by a 90d decline of -10.5%, while two earlier 2023 sales preceded 90d gains of +11.5% and +11.7%, yielding a 33.33% success rate at well-timed exits on this ticker. SCI is trading at a modest P/E of 20.24 with solid fundamentals (revenue $1.1B, net income $117.5M, 2.1% annual growth), but the recent post-transaction price decline aligns with one favorable precedent in her SCI-specific history.

Exec. VP, and CFO
80,800 shares

@ $81.53
Significance 6/10

SCI CFO Tanzberger sold 80.8K shares for $6.6M (blended avg $81.53) on 2025-11-05, reducing holdings by -39.3%.

Eric Tanzberger, Exec. VP and CFO of Service Corp International, executed 2 separate sales totaling 80.8K shares for $6,587,639.79 on 2025-11-05, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 125.0K shares from 205.8K shares. The blended average sale price of $81.53 is just 0.94 basis points above the current price of $80.59, and falls within the 52-week range of $73.58–$88.60, notably 9.0% below the 52-week high. Across his cross-ticker open-market history, Tanzberger's prior sell had a 90-day return of +16.8%, indicating that his previous sales (as a category) have not been well-timed; specifically, his prior 1 sell at SCI on 2024-08-08 also resulted in a positive 90-day return (+16.8%), suggesting the stock rose after his sale rather than fell. The magnitude of this disposition—shedding 39.3% of holdings in a single filing—represents a substantial reduction in executive exposure to the company he oversees as CFO.

President
30,300 shares
$2,519,234
@ $83.14
Significance 4/10

SCI President Waring sells 30,300 shares for $2.5M at blended $83.14; holds 295.2K post-transaction.

Waring Sumner J III sold 2 separate tranches of shares on 2025-10-31, totaling 30,300 shares for $2,519,233.94 at a blended average price of $83.14, reducing his holdings by 9.3% to 295.2K shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $88.60 (within 5.7%), suggesting favorable pricing relative to recent range context. Across his same-ticker history at SCI, Waring has executed 5 prior sales; 3 of the 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark (negative 90d returns), though his most recent two SCI sales on 2025-08-01 were poorly timed (positive 90d returns of +3.5% and +3.6%), meaning the stock rose after he exited. His broader cross-ticker track record shows modest historical success (60% well-timed rate on 5 prior sells), but current stock fundamentals remain stable with P/E of 21.37, $1.1B quarterly revenue, and 2.1% annual revenue growth, providing no obvious distress signal.

@ $81.86
Significance 7/10

CEO Ryan Thomas L sold 35,609 shares (35.6K) at $81.86–$81.91 for $2.9M; 90-day pattern shows 3 of 3 prior SCI trades well-timed.

CEO & Chairman Ryan Thomas L executed 2 separate sales totaling 35,609 shares on August 21–22, 2025, at prices of $81.82 and $81.91 respectively for a combined $2.9M, reducing his stake from 1,017,942 to 982,333 shares (-3.5%). The transaction prices ($81.82–$81.91) came near the 52-week high of $88.60, approximately 2.6% below that peak. His same-ticker history at SCI shows a strong 90-day timing pattern: 3 of 3 prior measurable sales were well-timed (stock fell afterward), with 90-day returns of -11.2%, -5.2%, and -9.4% following those trades. Current price at $79.90 reflects a -9.8% decline from the 52-week high and is below the transaction prices, consistent with the historical pattern. The consistency of his prior execution at this specific ticker suggests a demonstrated ability to identify favorable exit windows.

Significance 3/10

SCI COO Faulk sells 14,550 shares at $81.57; stock now -8.0% from 52-week high

Faulk John H, SVP and COO, sold 14,550 shares at $81.57, reducing his holdings by 21.0% from 69,231 to 54,681 shares. The stock is currently trading at $81.50, down 8.0% from its 52-week high of $88.60, and has gained 6.1% over the past 30 days. Notably, his cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% well-timed rate across 4 prior sales, with average 90-day returns of +12.6%—indicating his prior sales occurred before subsequent gains, a poorly-timed pattern. At this same ticker (SCI), his prior two measurable sales outcomes (2023-12-13 and 2023-12-12) also resulted in positive 90-day returns of +12.2% and +12.9%, respectively, showing the stock rose after each sale. This sale occurs within 12 days of his prior two SCI sales on 2025-08-08, suggesting sustained disposition activity. The company's current P/E of 21.45 and modest annual revenue growth of 2.1% do not indicate obvious valuation distress.

CEO & Chairman
150,000 shares
$12,073,082
@ $80.49
Significance 7/10

CEO Ryan Thomas L sells 150,000 shares of SCI for $12,073,081.79; holds 982,333 post-sale. 5-of-5 prior SCI sales all well-timed (stock declined post-sale).

Ryan Thomas L, CEO & Chairman, executed 2 separate sales totaling 150,000 shares for $12,073,081.79 at a blended average price of $80.49, leaving him with 982,333 shares (a -13.2% reduction from pre-transaction holdings of 1,132,333 shares). His track record at this ticker is notable: all 5 prior sales at SCI have been well-timed at the 90-day mark, with observed post-sale declines ranging from -6.3% to -10.0%, whereas his cross-ticker track record shows a 60.00% well-timed rate with an average 90-day return of +2.6% post-sale. The stock currently trades at $80.78, near the transaction price and -8.8% from its 52-week high of $88.60. This sale pattern—a substantial reduction in CEO holdings coupled with a documented history of prescient selling at this specific company—merits close monitoring for the duration of the 90-day observation window to assess whether this sale precedes further downside.

Significance 4/10

SCI COO John H Faulk sells 14,550 shares for $1,168,926.62; reduces stake 21.0% to 54,681 shares

John H Faulk, SVP and COO at Service Corporation International, executed 2 separate sales on 2025-08-08 totaling 14,550 shares for $1,168,926.62 at an average price of $80.34. This represents a 21.0% reduction in his holdings from 69,231 shares to 54,681 shares. The current stock price of $80.78 is near the transaction price, and the stock remains 8.8% below its 52-week high of $88.60. Across his prior SCI trades (2 prior sells in late 2023), Faulk's sales saw subsequent 90-day returns of +12.2% and +12.9%, indicating a pattern of selling into gains rather than selling ahead of declines. This filing shows a material reduction in his personal stake but does not indicate precursor concern based on historical timing outcomes.

56,100 shares
$4,295,392
@ $76.57
Significance 6/10

SCI President Waring sells 56.1K shares (16% of holdings) for $4.3M on strong timing pattern; all 3 prior SCI sales preceded declines.

Waring Sumner J III sold 56,100 shares in 2 transactions at a blended average price of $76.57, reducing his holdings from 351,292 shares to 295,192 shares (a 16% reduction). His prior transaction history at Service Corp International is notably consistent: all 3 prior SCI sales showed negative 90-day returns, with a 100% on-time pattern at the 90-day mark, indicating his prior sales at this ticker have been well-timed. The current stock price of $78.45 is 11.5% below the 52-week high and down 4.1% over 30 days, placing the sale in proximity to recent weakness. While the sale size is material and his timing track record at SCI is clean, the broader context—$1.1B in quarterly revenue, $122.9M net income, and a 20.64 P/E—does not signal fundamental distress. Investors should monitor whether this sale extends his historical pattern at the ticker or represents a shift in positioning.

Significance 7/10

CEO Ryan Thomas L sold 50,000 SCI shares at $84.56; still holds 982,333 shares; 5 of 5 prior SCI sales were well-timed (negative 90d returns)

Ryan Thomas L (CEO & Chairman) sold 50,000 shares (50.0K shares) of SERVICE CORP INTERNATIONAL at $84.56, reducing his holdings from 1,032,333 to 982,333 shares (-4.8%). The stock currently trades at $78.38, -11.5% from its 52-week high of $88.60, and has declined 9.1% over the past 90 days despite a +2.9% gain over the past 30 days. What stands out is the CEO's track record at this specific ticker: his prior 5 SCI trades (all sales) were uniformly well-timed, with all 5 showing negative 90-day returns following the sale date (ranging from -7.0% to -10.0%), placing him 5 of 5 well-timed at the 90-day mark. His cross-ticker track record shows a 55.00% well-timed rate on 20 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +3.8%, indicating generally ordinary timing skill across securities. At SCI specifically, however, this insider has demonstrated consistent ability to exit before periods of decline, and the current sale at $84.56 precedes the recent 9.1% 90-day deterioration, suggesting the pattern may persist.

@ $88.58
Significance 5/10

CFO Tammy R Moore sells 14,800 shares at $88.55–$89.08, reducing stake 36.4% to 25.8K shares ($1.3M)

Tammy R Moore, Chief Accounting Officer at SCI, executed 2 separate sales totaling 14,800 shares for $1,311,027.59 at prices near the current market level ($88.60). The blended average price of $88.58 aligns with the stock's 52-week high of $88.60, with the stock up 16.2% over 30 days and 13.1% over 90 days. Her holdings decreased by 36.4%, from 40.6K to 25.8K shares. Notably, her prior sell at this ticker on 2024-08-14 posted a 90-day return of +15.2% (poorly timed, as the stock rose after the sale). The current fundamental profile shows a stable but mature business: $1.0B quarterly revenue, flat annual growth (-0.2%), and a P/E of 25.39. The timing at the 52-week high and recent momentum suggests the sale occurred near peak valuation for the recent period, though without context on vesting schedules or other restrictions, the motivations remain opaque.
