Price Chart
Executive Summary
Cal-Maine Foods reported Q3 FY2026 earnings with diluted EPS of $1.06, a 68.3% beat versus consensus of $0.63, on revenue of $667.0M, slightly above estimates. Despite a 53% YoY revenue decline due to lower egg prices, the strong EPS beat was driven by cost controls and a shift toward higher-margin specialty eggs and prepared foods, which now represent 52.9% of net sales.
