Rhea AI CHE FY2025

Chemed grew revenue but converted that growth less efficiently in FY2025, as margins narrowed while shareholder distributions exceeded free cash flow.

Revenue increased 4.1% from FY2024, yet operating income fell from $366M to $338M, pulling operating margin down from 15.1% to 13.4%. That combination indicates incremental sales came with higher operating cost pressure rather than dropping through to profit.

Cash generation remained positive, with operating cash flow of $388M and free cash flow of $325M in FY2025; however, free cash flow fell from $368M in FY2024 even as revenue grew. The gap reflects heavier reinvestment, as capital expenditures rose to $63M.

Capital allocation reduced financial flexibility: buybacks and dividends totaled $463M, more than FY2025 free cash flow. Assets declined to $1.5B while liabilities stayed near $559M, so the balance-sheet contraction is consistent with distributions outpacing internally generated cash.

Profitability
83

Chemed Corporation has an operating margin of 13.4%, meaning the company retains $13 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 83/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is down from 15.1% the prior year.

Growth

Chemed Corporation's revenue grew a modest 4.1% year-over-year to $2.5B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 53/100.

Leverage

Liquidity
21

Chemed Corporation's current ratio of 1.05 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 21/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow
74

Returns
94

Altman Z-Score Safe
12.27

Chemed Corporation scores 12.27, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($6.7B) relative to total liabilities ($558.8M). This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
N/A

Chemed Corporation reported $265K of net income while generating $388.3M in operating cash flow. The ratio between the two is outside the range this page publishes as a per-dollar figure, so both figures are given instead.

Interest Coverage Safe
