Cal-Maine Foods, Inc.
Cal‑Maine Foods, Inc. (ticker: CALM) is the largest producer and marketer of fresh shell eggs in the United States, operating an integrated model from hatcheries and feed operations to processing and distribution. With a market capitalisation around $4.38bn, the company’s earnings are cyclical and closely tied to retail and foodservice egg prices, flock sizes and feed commodity costs (corn and soy). Strengths include scale, broad distribution networks and a product mix that includes speciality and cage‑free eggs. Material risks include avian influenza outbreaks, shifts in regulation and animal‑welfare standards, and volatile input costs that can compress margins. Seasonality and short‑term price swings often cause pronounced revenue and profit volatility. Cal‑Maine has historically returned capital via dividends in profitable periods, but payments can vary. This is general educational information, not personalised investment advice—investors should consider their own objectives and risk tolerance before investing.

Price and Cycles
Egg prices and feed costs drive short‑term earnings, creating cyclical performance that investors should monitor; past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Supply and Biosecurity
Avian influenza and flock health can cause sudden supply shocks and margin swings, so biosecurity events are a material risk to watch.
Scale and Operations
Large scale and distribution reach are competitive strengths, but reliance on a single primary product exposes the business to concentrated risk.
