Cal-Maine Foods Stock Falls After Q1 Fiscal 2027 Earnings Miss Expectations
Cal-Maine Foods (NASDAQ: CALM) reported a significant drop in revenue and swung to a loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, leading its stock price down by 0.7%. Revenue fell sharply year-over-year from $539.6 million—a decline of 42%—as prices dropped following an earlier surge due to egg shortages caused by disease in hens during 2025. The company reported a GAAP net loss of $58.6 million, or $1.26 per share, compared to a profit of over $199 million the previous year. These results missed analyst expectations for revenue and losses. Additionally, Cal-Maine announced it would not pay its quarterly dividend due to financial performance under its variable policy. Despite these challenges, management highlighted growth in premium offerings such as specialty eggs and prepared foods, which were profitable segments during the quarter. However, without a recovery in conventional egg prices or resumption of dividends, investor interest may remain subdued.
