About Chemed

Chemed helps families manage end-of-life care for their loved ones. It also fixes home problems like clogged drains and broken pipes. The company serves both homeowners and medical patients across the United States.

What Chemed Does Every Day

  • VITAS: Hospice and palliative care services for terminally ill patients; provides medical, emotional, and spiritual support.
  • Roto-Rooter: Plumbing, drain cleaning, and water restoration for residential and commercial customers.

Growth and Recent Acquisitions

  • Purchased all hospice operations and an assisted living facility from Covenant Health and Community Services in 2024 for $85 million.
  • Acquired three Roto-Rooter franchises in New Jersey, Texas, and Kentucky during 2024 for a combined $12.4 million.
  • Completed the acquisition of a Roto-Rooter franchise in Michigan for $225,000 during 2025.
  • Acquired two Roto-Rooter franchises in South Carolina and Georgia for approximately $4 million in 2023.

Operational Strengths

The company manages its units on a decentralized basis, allowing each brand to focus on its specific market. Roto-Rooter relies on a highly recognized brand name used since 1935, while VITAS operates as one of the largest hospice providers in a fragmented industry.

Financial Performance

  • Revenue reached $639.3 million in Q4 2025, down 0.1% from Q4 2024.
  • Net income was $76.8 million in Q4 2025, down 15% year-over-year.
  • Free cash flow hit $117.2 million in Q4 2025, down 23% from the previous year.
  • Operating income was $100.7 million in Q4 2025, down 11.6% from Q4 2024.

The Bottom Line

Chemed has evolved into a diversified operator focusing on essential healthcare and home services. Its history of strategic acquisitions and decentralized management helps it maintain leadership in two unrelated but stable industries.
