Significance 4/10

CEO Kevin McNamara sells 2,000 shares at CHE; his sixth sale at this company in 36 months, continuing a pattern of net dispositions.

Kevin McNamara, Chemed's President and CEO, sold 2,000 shares, representing his sixth open-market sale at this company in the past 36 months. Over the same period, he has made no open-market purchases, painting a consistent picture of net selling. The stock currently trades well below its 52-week high, and the company remains profitable with solid revenue growth. McNamara's track record at Chemed has been mixed: at the 30-day horizon, three of his five prior sales saw the stock decline afterward (well-timed exits), while two saw gains (poorly-timed); at the 90-day horizon, only one of his five prior sales was followed by a decline, while four saw subsequent stock gains, meaning most prior exits were ultimately poorly timed. This ongoing sale comes at a time when the company's fundamentals remain intact, but the repeated selling pattern combined with mixed timing on prior exits suggests no clear conviction signal from the CEO level.

Significance 4/10

CEO McNamara sells 1,500 shares of CHE at $369.37; stock down 39.6% from 52-week high, prior sell-timing mixed at this ticker.

Kevin J. McNamara, president and CEO of Chemed, sold 1,500 shares at $369.37 on 2026-03-27, reducing his stake from 93,719 to 92,219 shares. The stock is currently trading at $374.09, down 39.6% from its 52-week high of $619.21 and down 8.8% over the past 30 days. At the same-ticker level, McNamara's prior four measurable sales at CHE show mixed timing results: two were well-timed (negative 90-day returns after the sale), while two were poorly timed (positive returns followed). His cross-ticker track record across 16 prior open-market sales shows a 53.33% well-timed rate, only modestly better than random timing. The modest sale size (-1.6% of holdings) and recent repeated selling activity (another sale just 15 days prior on 2026-03-12) against the backdrop of sustained stock underperformance merit monitoring for any shift in management's forward outlook.

Significance 5/10

CHE CEO Kevin McNamara sold 2,000 shares at $403.18 on 2026-03-12; stock down -35.1% from 52-week high.

Kevin McNamara, president and CEO of CHEMED CORP, sold 2,000 shares for $806,360.00, reducing his holdings from 95,719 to 93,719 shares. The sale occurred at $403.18, while the stock currently trades at $401.87, down 35.1% from its 52-week high of $619.21 and off 13.2% in the past 30 days. McNamara's cross-ticker track record shows 15 prior sells with a 53.33% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, but his same-ticker history at CHE is mixed: 3 of 5 prior sales have resulted in positive 90-day returns (poorly timed sells), while 2 showed declines afterward (well-timed). The sale represents a modest 2.1% reduction in his CHE position while the company maintains solid fundamentals with $624.9M quarterly revenue, $64.2M net income, and a 22.86 P/E ratio. Investors should note the stock's recent sharp decline and assess whether this sale reflects operational concerns or routine portfolio management.

Significance 4/10

CEO McNamara sells 2,000 CHE shares at $437.55; stock down 28.8% from 52-week high.

Kevin J McNamara, president and CEO of Chemed Corp, sold 2,000 shares for $875,100.00 on 2025-11-24, reducing his holdings from 96,197 to 94,197 shares. The sale occurred at $437.55 per share, which is below the current price of $440.70 but represents a significant discount from the 52-week high of $619.21 (28.8% below peak). At this ticker, McNamara's prior four measurable same-ticker sales show a 75% well-timed rate (3 of 4 exhibited negative 90-day returns), suggesting a pattern of selling ahead of declines; however, the current sale's timing cannot yet be assessed. Chemed's fundamentals remain solid with revenue of $624.9M and net income of $64.2M in the latest quarter, supporting a P/E of 22.39, though annual revenue growth of 7.4% is moderate. The sale represents a small reduction (2.1% of pre-transaction holdings), typical of routine portfolio management for a CEO holding 94.2K shares.

CHE CEO McNamara sold 3,000 shares at $461.28; stock down 27.0% from 52-week high, held 96.2K post-trade.

Kevin J McNamara, president and CEO of Chemed Corp, sold 3,000 shares on 2025-09-26 at $461.28, reducing his holdings from 99.2K to 96.2K shares. The sale occurred as the stock trades 27.0% below its 52-week high of $619.21, and notably, his four prior sales at CHE all showed negative 90-day returns (ranging from -4.6% to -27.5%), suggesting his prior exit timing at this ticker has been well-executed relative to subsequent price declines. The company's fundamentals remain solid with a $6.6B market cap, 7.4% annual revenue growth, and P/E of 22.69, making this sale noteworthy for its timing pattern rather than any apparent distress signal. However, the stock has declined 1.3% over 30 days and 6.6% over 90 days, and McNamara retains substantial holdings (96.2K shares), indicating no broad liquidation despite the historically advantageous sale timing.

CHE CEO McNamara sells 2,000 shares at $428.55; stock down 30.9% from 52-week high, down 9.5% in 30d.

Kevin J McNamara, president and CEO of Chemed Corp, sold 2,000 shares on 2025-08-05 at $428.55, reducing holdings from 101,197 to 99,197 shares. The stock has declined significantly from its 52-week high of $619.21, trading at $428.08 (−30.9% from peak) and down −9.5% over the prior 30 days. His prior trades at CHE show a strong pattern: all 5 prior sales resulted in negative 90-day returns, with an average 90-day decline of −11.6% and a 100% well-timed rate. This current sale follows a similar backdrop—stock weakness and the insider's established history of selling into downward momentum at this ticker—though the small share count (2.0K shares, −2.0% of prior holdings) suggests a modest transaction relative to his position size and the company's $6.2B market cap.

CHE CEO Kevin McNamara sold 1,500 shares ($864.7K) on 2025-05-05; his prior 5 CHE trades 3 of 3 well-timed at 90-day mark.

Kevin McNamara, president and CEO of CHEMED CORP, sold 1,500 shares at $576.45 on 2025-05-05, reducing his holdings to 101,197 shares. Notably, his prior five trades at CHE show a disciplined pattern: three measurable 90-day outcomes (2024-11-25, 2024-09-26, 2024-08-05) all resulted in negative returns of -4.6%, -13.2%, and -6.7% respectively, meaning he sold ahead of declines. His cross-ticker track record shows a 44.44% well-timed rate on 11 prior sales across all holdings. The current stock price of $576.51 is -6.9% from the 52-week high and recently declined -3.5% over 30 days, placing this sale in a context where the insider's historical pattern has been to exit ahead of weakness.

Significance 3/10

CHE CEO McNamara sells 1,000 shares (1.0K) at $615.33; retains 101.7K shares post-transaction.

McNamara sold 1,000 shares on 2025-03-31 at $615.33, representing a 1.0% reduction in his 102.7K share base. The sale occurred near the stock's 52-week high ($644.26), with the current price at $618.56 still elevated and the stock up 3.0% over the prior 30 days. At his same-ticker level, McNamara has executed 5 prior sales at CHE; 3 of the 4 measurable outcomes showed negative 90-day returns, indicating a pattern of well-timed sells at this ticker. His cross-ticker track record shows a 44.44% well-timed rate with average 90-day returns of +0.8%, suggesting modest historical accuracy. The modest sale size and retained position of 101.7K shares indicate the CEO maintains substantial exposure to the company, limiting any inference of conviction shift from a single 1.0% portfolio reduction.

Significance 5/10

CHE President/CEO McNamara sells 2,000 shares for $1.2M; stock up 5.8% in 30 days post-sale

Kevin J McNamara, president and CEO of Chemed Corp, sold 2,000 shares at $593.67 on March 6, 2025, leaving him with 102,679 shares. The sale reduced his position by less than 2% and occurred when the stock was 8.4% below its 52-week high of $650.70. In the 30 days following this sale, CHE appreciated 5.8%, suggesting this particular trade was not prescient of a near-term decline. Across his prior five trades at Chemed, McNamara sold at times when 60% of those subsequent 90-day periods saw negative returns, indicating some historical success in anticipating downside; however, this current sale's early performance contradicts that pattern.

CHE CEO McNamara sells 2,000 shares at $572.77; stock down -4.9% in 30 days, -11.9% from 52-week high.

Kevin J McNamara, president and CEO of CHEMED CORP, sold 2,000 shares on 2024-11-25 for $1,145,540.00, reducing his holdings from 103,735 to 101,735 shares. The sale occurred as the stock trades at $573.45, down 4.9% over the past 30 days and 11.9% from its 52-week high of $650.70. Examining McNamara's prior transactions at CHE, his 5 prior trades show mixed timing results: only 1 of 4 measurable 90-day outcomes was well-timed (positive 90d return indicating the stock rose after he sold). His cross-ticker track record shows a 28.57% well-timed rate across 8 sells, which is modest. The current sale represents a modest 1.9% reduction in holdings, suggesting measured position management rather than an aggressive de-risking signal.
