Goldman Sachs Initiates Cal-Maine (CALM) After Blowout Earnings Report

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:CALM) is one of the best high growth consumer stocks to buy now. On August 14, Goldman Sachs analyst Leah Jordan initiated Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:CALM), with a Hold rating, with a price target of $110, which is close to the current market price of $111.1.

On July 22, the company reported stellar Q4 FY 2025 (quarter and year ended May 2025) earnings. Its revenue for the quarter came in at $1.1 billion, a whopping 71% growth, and easily beat Wall Street estimates of $909.35 million. Cal-Maine’s EPS stood at $7.04 per share, also easily beating Wall Street’s $6.27 per share estimate.

For the whole year, the company saw an 82% spike in revenue to $4.26 billion. The company also expanded its net margin to 28.63% in the Fiscal Year 2025.

Cal-Maine is currently benefiting from elevated egg prices due to a shortage caused by bird flu in the U.S. However, this imbalance is cyclical. Hence, the company may not be able to maintain those margins for too long.

The company, to its credit, has been making strategic investments into increasing cage-free capacity, expanding operations to adapt to the ever-changing egg market.
