LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)---- $CALM--CALM Investors Have Opportunity to Join Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. Fraud Investigation with the Schall Law Firm.

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (CALM) earns a reiterated 'buy' rating as its transition to specialty eggs and prepared foods drives operational resilience despite cyclical egg price lows. Specialty eggs now comprise over 50% of shell egg sales, buffering volatility; prepared foods surged 441.2% YoY to 10% of sales, enhancing margin stability. Cal-Maine maintains a fortress balance sheet with $1.1 billion net cash versus $4.1 billion market cap, supporting organic growth and opportunistic M&A.

One of America's biggest inflation stories has quietly reversed. Wholesale egg prices have fallen back to levels not seen since before the bird flu-driven supply crunch, as inventories rebuild and production normalizes.

RIDGELAND, Miss., July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (Nasdaq: CALM), the largest egg company in the United States and a leading player in the egg-based food industry, today announced it will report results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2026 at approximately 6:00 a.m. ET on Wednesday, July 22, 2026. The earnings release will be available on the Cal-Maine Foods website at https://www.calmainefoods.com/press-releases.

Cal-Maine Foods is a dominant industry player with strong moats, scale, and a robust balance sheet but faces significant earnings cyclicality. CALM benefits from its low-cost position, recent acquisitions, and product mix improvements, especially the secular growth in specialty eggs. Valuation assumes a mid-cycle scenario: ~$3.5B revenue, 8–10% net margin, and an earnings yield of 7–9%, with upside from internal initiatives.

A year-long bipartisan investigation revealed that three of the US's top egg producers "secretly communicated" with each other to inflate the daily egg price index between June 2022 and March 2025.

Executive texts and emails show effort to sway market, Justice Department says.

Companies agreed to donate over 50 million eggs to resolve an antitrust investigation focused on a period when prices reached record highs.

RIDGELAND, Miss., June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (“Cal-Maine” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: CALM) today announced that it has reached an agreement to resolve the claims of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and 17 states' attorneys general against the Company, subject to applicable approvals and court procedures. The agreement follows a 15-month-long investigation by the DOJ that centered broadly on whether egg producers that had organized a cooperative to supply eggs to customers in compliance with cage-free requirements in certain markets were attempting to manipulate an industry price index by sharing information about bidding activities. Cal-Maine was a member of the cooperative, but exited in May 2024, prior to and unrelated to the initiation of the DOJ's investigation.
