Chemed Corp posts Q3 earnings beat with higher EPS and revenue

Chemed Corp reported third‑quarter 2026 results on Oct. 27. Adjusted diluted EPS came in at $6.75, topping the consensus estimate of $6.44. Revenue reached $690.9 million, up 10.6% year over year and above the $685.04 million forecast. VITAS Healthcare grew revenue 12.2% while Roto‑Rooter rose 7.5%, according to the company.

The earnings beat and revenue beat may reinforce the bullish outlook of analysts who have raised EPS forecasts in recent weeks. Investors will watch how the stronger hospice performance offsets the slower‑growing plumbing segment.
