How Addus Homecare makes money
Addus earns fees for in-home care, hospice, and home health visits. Most of this money comes from federal, state, and local government agencies and managed care organizations, and the rest comes from commercial insurers and people who pay for themselves.
What Addus Homecare does
Addus HomeCare Corporation provides care at home in the U.S. for elderly, chronically ill, and disabled people, including people at risk of being hospitalized or moved into an institution. It has three segments. Personal Care gives non-medical help with daily living, such as bathing, grooming, feeding, dressing, medication reminders, meal preparation, housekeeping, and transportation. Hospice provides palliative nursing, social work, spiritual care, and bereavement counseling for terminally ill patients and their families. Home Health provides skilled nursing and physical, occupational, and speech therapy during an illness or after a hospital stay. Its customers include federal, state, and local government agencies, managed care organizations, commercial insurers, and people paying for themselves. That makes the company closely tied to public healthcare funding and to the trend of keeping people cared for at home instead of in facilities. Addus was founded in 1979 and is based in Frisco, Texas.

What is Addus Homecare worth?
On an owner-earnings DCF, Addus Homecare's most-likely value is about $193 versus a recent price near $114 (68% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$79) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.
Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.
Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
