Cal-Maine Foods (CALM) Reports Record $4.3B Net Sales for Fiscal 2025

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:CALM) is one of the best farmland and agriculture stocks to buy according to billionaires. The company released its fourth-quarter and fiscal 2025 earnings on July 22, reporting net sales of $4.3 billion for the fiscal year, an 87% increase from $2.3 billion in fiscal 2024. This marks a record sales figure for the company.

Net income during the fiscal year grew nearly fourfold year-over-year. The company earned $1.2 billion, or about $24.95 per diluted share, compared to $277.9 million, or $5.69 per diluted share. According to the company, the significant sales and income growth came on the back of a higher average net selling price for shell eggs, as well as increased volumes sold. The higher prices resulted from a reduced supply of shell eggs industry-wide due to outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), combined with strong demand around the Easter holiday period in early 2025.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 (ending May 31), Cal-Maine sold about 311.4 million dozen shell eggs, which was 9% more than the prior year’s quarter. The average selling price in this quarter was about $3.305 per dozen, up from $2.133 per dozen a year earlier. Specialty eggs, including cage-free, grew by 16% in volume, while conventional eggs grew by 5%. For the full year, conventional eggs made up 63% of sales and specialty eggs 37%.

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:CALM) is the largest producer and distributor of fresh shell eggs in the United States. The company operates a vertically integrated supply chain that includes its own feed mills, pullet and layer farms, and processing facilities.
