Cash vs Debt
The company holds $16.9M in cash, though total debt stands at $236.9M. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. The company generates $348.3M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. ROE of 25.6% points to strong capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. Return on assets of 12.8% further supports the picture of efficient asset utilization. Revenue has been uneven over recent years, ranging from $2.14B to $2.53B.
With a beta below 0.7, Chemed Corporation typically sees smaller price swings than the overall market, offering a degree of stability during turbulent periods. The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. No single metric tells the full story. Reviewing CHE's risk profile alongside its fundamentals and technical indicators provides a more complete picture.
