TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly CALM is the largest producer of regular shell and specialty eggs in the US. It carries no debt and has been growing its cash flow. They maintain a strong balance sheet by reducing the dividend following a quarterly financial loss. Recently reported EPS of $0.28 beat expectations of $0.07. The company announced a $0.034 dividend (implied payout ratio of 12%). We would buy this with a stop loss at $33, looking to achieve $47 -- upside potential over 20%. Yield 0.3% (Analysts’ price target is $47.00)

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research
Egg prices have gone from $8 in March 2025 down to $1.15 in October. This declineis going to be a weight on shares and CALM does tend to have the large ebbs and flows. The valuation is accounting for a slowdown already, at 10X forward earnings. We think it is fine to hold but a bit of patience might be needed here.

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.
