In plain English
Chemed is a holding company running two unrelated market leaders: VITAS Healthcare, the largest US for-profit hospice provider (~63% of revenue, ~94% funded by Medicare), and Roto-Rooter, the biggest US plumbing and drain-cleaning brand (~37%). One side cares for the dying on a government reimbursement; the other unclogs drains for homeowners — together a steady, cash-generative mid-cap.
