- What they said
- Cal-Maine Foods reported Q4 fiscal 2026 results amid industry oversupply driving conventional egg prices to historically low inflation-adjusted levels. Prepared Foods reached 10.9% of Q4 net sales, with Specialty Eggs and Prepared Foods combined at 53% of quarterly net sales. The company completed acquisitions of Creighton Brothers assets and Van's Food brand, and announced a $54 million investment to expand Prepared Foods capacity by ~30% beginning H1 fiscal 2028.
- Guidance
- Management expects Prepared Foods production capacity to grow over 60% from end of fiscal 2026 through H1 fiscal 2028. Supply conditions show early rebalancing signals with moderating flock growth. USDA projects per capita egg consumption increases in both 2026 and 2027.
