“Chemed Corporation (NYSE:CHE) operates in two segments. VITAS provides hospice and palliative care services. Roto-Rooter offers plumbing, drain cleaning, and other related services. While VITAS continues to improve, Roto-Rooter experienced softening demand and that led to a reduction in forward guidance as well as a -4% decline in its shares. We added to the position on this pullback.”
