Investors interested in Medical - Outpatient and Home Healthcare stocks are likely familiar with Aveanna Healthcare (AVAH) and Chemed (CHE). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now?
Chemed Corporation (CHE) receives a Buy rating with a $632/share target, driven by activist pressure for a spin-off to eliminate the conglomerate discount. VITAS has successfully reengineered its patient mix, sharply reducing Medicare Cap penalties and driving 8.8% revenue growth and 18.2% Adjusted EBITDA margin in Q2. Roto-Rooter faces structural margin pressure from rising digital marketing costs, but B2B expansion and operational efficiencies are expected to support future growth.
