Chemed Corporation: Why A Spin-Off Could Unlock Its Hidden Value
Chemed Corporation (CHE) receives a Buy rating with a $632/share target, driven by activist pressure for a spin-off to eliminate the conglomerate discount. VITAS has successfully reengineered its patient mix, sharply reducing Medicare Cap penalties and driving 8.8% revenue growth and 18.2% Adjusted EBITDA margin in Q2. Roto-Rooter faces structural margin pressure from rising digital marketing costs, but B2B expansion and operational efficiencies are expected to support future growth.
