1550+ opinions with 4.81 rating (one of the best performing expert).

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly CALM produces and distributes eggs for sale to national grocery and food service companies. With more people cooking at home, sales have been strong -- up over 11% over the year and beating analyst expectations by 4%. EPS of $0.25, also beat expecations of a $0.08 loss. As restaurants re-open sales should grow further. Analysts expect the dividend to be re-instated soon. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $34, looking to achieve $47 -- just over 20% upside. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $47.00)

DON'T BUY

It's too focussed on commodities, and is too much of a rollercoaster.

BUY

It's rising, not because of any egg shortage, but because those who take GLP-1 weight-loss drugs need the protein that eggs supply.

DON'T BUY

Shares are down, because people feel that the shortage will end. Trades at a 4-5x PE, so shares will go lower, and it's not as cheap as you think.
