(NASDAQ:CALM) engages in the business of shell eggs. On October 24, 2022, Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:CALM) stock closed at $58.69 per share. One-month return of Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:CALM) was -4.45% and its shares gained 60.52% of their value over the last 52 weeks. Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:CALM) has a market capitalization of $2.872 billion.
Diamond Hill Capital made the following comment about Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:CALM) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“On an individual holdings’ basis, top contributors to return in Q3 included Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:CALM) and WESCO International. Tight hen supply tied to a bird flu outbreak has supported higher egg prices, a key driver for egg-producer Cal-Maine’s profitability. Outside of that exogenous event, Cal-Maine is well positioned amid an industry shift to cage-free eggs. Cal-Maine invested ahead of competitors in upgrading facilities — spending on its upgrades when inflation was lower — which we believe should prove an additional boon enabling ongoing share gains.”

AI game is changing.
The chip guys, like Nvidia, they had their moment. The first AI wave? They rode it high.
But guess what? That ride’s over. Nvidia’s been flatlining since October 2025.
Remember the internet boom? Everyone thought Cisco and Intel were the kings, right? Wrong. The real money was made by the companies that actually used the internet to build something new: e-commerce, search engines, social media.
And it’s the same deal with AI. NVDA? They’re yesterday’s news. The real winners? They’re the robotics companies, the ones building the robots we only dreamed about before.
We’re talking AI 2.0. The first wave was about the chips, this one’s about the robots. Robots that can do your chores, robots that can work in factories, robots that will change everything. Labor shortages? Gone. Industries revolutionized? You bet.
This isn’t some far-off fantasy, it’s happening right now. And there’s one company, a robotics company, that’s leading the charge. They’ve got the cutting-edge tech, they’re ahead of the curve, and they’re dirt cheap right now. We’re talking potential 100x returns in the next few years. You snooze, you lose.

My name is Inan Dogan. I’m the co-founder and Research Director of Insider Monkey. I have an important message for you today.
Since March 2017, my stock picks have returned 16.5% annually. Today, I’ve found an opportunity even bigger than my British American Tobacco call.
Two years ago, Wall Street wrote off British American Tobacco (BTI) as a “melting ice cube.” The stock had crashed 40% from its peak, and consensus said the business was dying.
We looked under the cover and realized they were wrong.
We alerted our subscribers, and BTI returned 90% in just 16 months.
Now if you had invested just $10,000 in BTI in June 2024, you’d be sitting on $19,000 in October 2025.
Today, we have identified a nearly identical pattern in a digital-first giant trading at $3.
While the market panics over a surface-level revenue decline, our PhD-led research shows management has actually surgically cut $100 million in waste to focus on high-margin growth.
This pattern is a hallmark of our 16.5% annual return track record. The current opportunity offers a 400% upside potential—dwarfing even our 90% BTI return.
Get the ticker for our new “Underdog” pick and the full BTI case study for just 99 cents.
