How has Personal Services moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 22% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 15% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 7 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

Is Personal Services outperforming S&P 500?
Personal Services has underperformed S&P 500 by 17.3% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 1.5%. 2 of 7 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Frontdoor, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +12.5%.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
H&R Block, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 82% evidence confidence.
Carriage Services, Inc. looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Service Corporation International has the highest Revenue among the 8 Personal Services companies compared here, at $4,331 million. H&R Block, Inc. is next at $3,912 million. Andersen Group Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 15.1%, so level and change sit with different companies. 7 of 8 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Service Corporation International is the scale leader at $4,331 million, 10.7% ahead of H&R Block, Inc.. Andersen Group Inc.'s growth is 15.1% from a $871 million base, with 11 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: Service Corporation International is the scale benchmark; Andersen Group Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Service Corporation International's growth falls below Andersen Group Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

It is not cash spent, so it answers a narrower question than CAPEX — but it is reported for companies whose cash-flow CAPEX is not published, which is why it leads here.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.
Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Personal Services comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 8 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
10 · the complete set
Which companies are included?
All 8 companies in the canonical Personal Services membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 8 Personal Services companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.
These 18 answers restate the Personal Services comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 8 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Personal Services company is the biggest?
Service Corporation International is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $4,331 million, ahead of H&R Block, Inc. at $3,912 million. That covers 7 of 8 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Personal Services company is growing fastest?
Andersen Group Inc. has the fastest revenue growth at 15.1% year on year, across 7 of 8 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Personal Services company has the best profit margins?
H&R Block, Inc. has the highest operating margin at 43.2%, from 8 of 8 comparable companies. Frontdoor, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +0.3 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Personal Services company makes the most profit?
H&R Block, Inc. earns the most, at $742 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 7 of 8 comparable companies. H&R Block, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 30.6%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Personal Services company earns the highest return on capital?
H&R Block, Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 55.3%, across 8 of 8 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Personal Services stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — H&R Block, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.15×. Only 5 of 8 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Personal Services company has the strongest balance sheet?
Medifast, Inc. carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $16 million, from 8 of 8 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Personal Services company is investing most in new capacity?
Service Corporation International reports the largest capital spending at $80 million, across 8 of 8 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.
Is the Personal Services sector beating the market?
Personal Services has underperformed S&P 500 by 17.3% over the last 52 weeks and 1.5% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 2 of 7 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Personal Services stock has the strongest price momentum?
Frontdoor, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
