What stands out

Operating margin is thin at 0.74%. Limited cushion if revenue slows or costs rise.

What's changing

Revenue declined 31.7% in the fiscal year ended May 2026. Margins deteriorated 24.0pp alongside, both lines moving the wrong way.

What deserves caution

At 50.08x earnings, the multiple leaves limited room for execution misses or growth deceleration. Free cash flow declined 69% in the fiscal year ended May 2026 versus the year before, cash generation momentum has weakened.

Valuation context

50.08x earnings. The market is pricing in years of above-average growth, so a slowdown would hit the multiple as well as the earnings.

At a P/E of 50.1, Cal-Maine Foods (CALM)'s valuation is best read against its own history, its peers, and the growth its price implies.

Frequently asked

Is Cal-Maine Foods a high-quality business?+

Cal-Maine Foods scores 24 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 7 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a lower-quality business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a 0.7% operating margin and a 0.6% return on invested capital. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from SEC filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full metric-by-metric breakdown is on the quality scorecard.

Does Cal-Maine Foods (CALM) pay a dividend, and how much?+

Yes, Cal-Maine Foods pays a regular dividend of about $2.52 per share per year (typically in quarterly installments), a yield of roughly 4.0% at the current price. That is a payout ratio of about 200.0% of earnings, so the dividend is stretched at this level. Cal-Maine Foods has grown the dividend at roughly 148.1% a year over the past few years. A low headline yield is not the same as a weak dividend: what matters is how well earnings and free cash flow cover the payout and whether it is growing, not the percentage alone. For CALM's full payout history, growth streak and dividend-safety score, see the dividends tab.

Is Cal-Maine Foods a good stock to buy right now?+

That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. you should weigh CALM's valuation and scores 24/100 on quality (lower-quality). It also yields about 4.0%. A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
