By Nicholas G. Miller

Chemed shares fell in late trading after the company reported second-quarter earnings well below Wall Street's expectations and said that the chief executive of one of its subsidiaries was leaving.

The stock was down 5.3% to $440 in after-hours trading and is down 18% over the last 12 months.

The company, which operates a hospice-care provider and a plumbing company, reported $4.27 in adjusted earnings per share, well below Wall Street's expectation of $5.24 a share.

The company lowered its full-year earnings guidance to be between $22 and $22.30 a share. It previously forecasted $24.95 to $25.45 a share.

The company said Nicholas Westfall, CEO of VITAS, the hospice-care provider, was leaving the company and would be replaced by current VITAS Chief Operating Officer Joel Wherley. Westfall will remain with the company until Dec. 1.
