Cal-Maine Foods Shares Slide on Q1 Results Hit by Lower Egg Prices
Key Facts
1Cal-Maine Foods shares declined following the release of first-quarter fiscal results impacted by lower egg prices.
Cal-Maine Foods reported a net loss of $58.6 million in the fiscal first quarter as net sales fell 42% to $539.6 million. Seeking Alpha reported that the company's financial performance was pressured by a downward trend in average egg selling prices compared to previous periods, affecting both revenue and margins.
CALM closed at $68.55 on September 29, 2026, with the stock reaching a day high of $68.85 and a low of $66.88. The decline follows an increase in egg supply combined with historically softer seasonal pricing, which resulted in substantially lower prices for conventional shell eggs.
