Cal-Maine Foods Reports Strong Q2 Earnings

Cal-Maine Foods reported robust Q2 fiscal 2025 earnings, with net sales soaring to $954.7 million and a net income of $219.1 million, significantly exceeding market expectations. The company attributed its strong performance to increased demand for shell eggs and higher market prices, largely driven by supply constraints related to avian influenza outbreaks. Notably, sales of specialty eggs grew by over 25%, accounting for a considerable portion of total revenue. Cal-Maine is strategically expanding its cage-free capacity, with an estimated $60 million investment aimed at aligning with consumer trends toward sustainability and ethical sourcing. The company is also focusing on managing feed cost volatility and operational demands while capitalizing on its scale and distribution network. Despite challenges in the market, Cal-Maine Foods remains well-positioned for continued growth in the evolving egg market.
