Cal-Maine Foods Inc. (CALM-Q) is experiencing a notable rise in its stock value, driven not by a traditional egg shortage, but rather by a new demand stemming from the popularity of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs. These medications are increasing the necessity for protein sources, particularly eggs, which are viewed as a primary supplier of this essential nutrient. As demand for eggs surges due to this unique intersection of health trends and dietary needs, Cal-Maine Foods is well-positioned to benefit from this shift. The company's revenue potential appears robust as it taps into this evolving market. Overall, the stock is finding its momentum amid changing consumer habits related to health and wellness.

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.

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

It's either up or down huge, and their big yield signals trouble ahead.

DON'T BUY

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

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)

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)

COMMENT

This is a staple and you are not going to see huge growth, but you also won’t see huge downside. Covered calls is probably a great strategy.

COMMENT

Chart shows it had formed a double top at around $60 and got repelled there. Has a base of around $50 now. It is in a band. You can wait for it to break out or buy it at the lower level.

TRADE

This is an egg producer. Eggs are something that people will continue to eat, but overall people will eat less.

TOP PICK

Egg prices have gone up very substantially in the US because of fewer hens per cage. Company has had huge earnings growth. Trading at 6X trailing earnings. Pays about a 5% dividend yield. Extremely good value.

TOP PICK

Largest egg producer in North America. Will make about $7 or $8 this year. There was a big short position out and they decided to fight it by paying out a lot of their earnings through dividends. Dividend yield is now 10%.
