Chemed Shares Tumble After Missing Q2 2025 Earnings, Slashing Full-Year Guidance, and Announcing Executive Departure

Chemed Corporation's second-quarter 2025 earnings report significantly missed analyst expectations for both earnings per share and revenue. This, coupled with a substantial downward revision of the company's full-year earnings guidance, triggered a significant drop in the company's stock price. The announcement was further compounded by the news of the departure of Nicholas M. Westfall, the Chairman and CEO of Chemed's VITAS Healthcare subsidiary.
