Description: CALM Cal-Maine Foods November 06, 2025

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ: CALM) is the largest U.S. producer and distributor of shell eggs and egg-based products, operating a vertically integrated business that covers production, grading, packaging, marketing, and nationwide distribution. Its portfolio includes conventional eggs under brands such as Egg-Land’s Best and Sunups, as well as specialty lines-cage-free, organic, free-range, pasture-raised, and nutritionally enhanced eggs-plus ready-to-eat items like hard-cooked eggs, egg wraps, protein pancakes, and crepes. The company serves grocery chains, club stores, independent supermarkets, food-service distributors, and direct consumers across most U.S. regions and Puerto Rico.

Key operational metrics (FY 2023) show revenue of roughly $1.2 billion, an adjusted EBITDA margin near 12 %, and a net egg production capacity of ~2 billion eggs annually. The business is highly sensitive to feed commodity prices-especially corn and soy-because feed accounts for ~70 % of total costs; recent feed cost inflation has pressured margins, though higher retail egg prices (driven by sustained demand for cage-free and organic products) have partially offset the impact. A sector-wide trend is the accelerating consumer shift toward premium, “better-for-you” eggs, which historically commands a 15-20 % price premium and supports margin expansion for producers with diversified specialty lines.
