Chemed Stock Down 15% in a Year as One Fund Builds a $5.56 Million Stake
Barington Companies Management established a new position in Chemed Corporation by acquiring 13,000 shares valued at $5.56 million, representing 3.65% of its reportable assets. Despite Chemed's stock declining 15.18% over the past year, the investment signals conviction in the company's strong balance sheet, cash generation, and defensive business model spanning hospice care (VITAS) and plumbing services (Roto-Rooter), despite recent margin pressures.
While the stock has declined 15% year-over-year and faced recent margin pressures and EPS declines, the company maintains strong fundamentals including $129.8 million in cash, no debt, consistent revenue growth (3.1% YoY), and positive demographic tailwinds in hospice care. The institutional investment by Barington suggests confidence in long-term value despite short-term sentiment weakness.
