Cal-Maine Foods, Inc.

  • Panning for Solid Gold Pantry Stocks

    By AnnaLisa Kraft - May 21, 2013 | Tickers: BGS, CALM, PF

    Using a stock screener is a lot like panning for gold. After screening over 4,000 food and beverage stocks on criteria of a minimum four star CAPS rating, yield over 2.5%, and Wall Street outperforms, three names come up shining: Cal-Maine Foods (NASDAQ: CALM), B&G Foods (NYSE: BGS) and Pinnacle Foods (NYSE: PF). I was fully expecting to see names like General Mills or McCormick.

  • Don't Let Negative Interest Rates Scare you Away

    By Joshua Bondy - May 14, 2013 | Tickers: CALM, CPSI, PAYX, QSII, SPY

    With real U.S. short term interest rates around -1.25%, a recent study found that the stock market's real five year returns should be around 3.6%. A real return of 3.6% is is less than what many people and pension funds expect, but at least it is a positive figure. By investing in quality companies with strong yields, you can remove a large amount of stress more »

    The stock market is on fire. Stocks have risen more than two times in price since the bull market started, in 2009. Still, now is not the time cash out. Rather, it's time to get defensive.

    Income investments, like dividend paying stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs), give investors much needed safety right now. That’s because income payers typically don't fall as far in down markets more »

  • Where Next for This Protein Play?

    By Lee Samaha - April 3, 2013 | Tickers: CALM, SAFM, SFD

    Cal-Maine Foods (NASDAQ: CALM) gave results recently, and I felt it was time to reassess its prospects. The stock is unusual in that it has a number of profit drivers which can come together positively to give the prospect of generating non market correlated returns. This is interesting in itself, but investors should understand the underlying dynamics before buying. And it is not as simple as it appears.

  • The Key Earnings for the Week (April 1)

    By Lee Samaha - March 28, 2013 | Tickers: AYI, CALM, CAG, MKC, RPM

    Earnings season is winding down now, but there is no excuse for not continuing to work hard to find stocks with upside potential. Paradoxically, the fact that there are so few major companies reporting next week should give investors the opportunity to spend more time looking at stocks that might not ordinarily be on the radar. And there are plenty of interesting stocks to look at next week, particularly if more »

  • Is this Beef Provider Worth a Look?

    By Himanshu Poddar - November 28, 2012 | Tickers: CALM, PPC, TSN

    Meat companies are indeed facing tough times, struggling with both the problems of low demand and cost inflation. U.S. drought conditions have made life miserable since it is leading to extremely high cattle feeding costs. However, Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN) is bucking the trend through its commendable moves.

    A company which comes out of a difficult situation smoothly is one to take note of. Recently, the biggest problem in the food industry has been increasing commodity costs. The drought conditions in U.S. have been a major concern for many companies, especially the ones who largely depend on crops for their animal feeding.

  • What to Look for in Earnings this Week

    By Lee Samaha - October 2, 2012 | Tickers: AYI, CALM, FDO, RBN, MOS

    It’s a relatively light week for earnings but many of the companies that will report are very interesting. This is purely a random event but it seems that many of them have a common theme. Specifically they appear to be companies that have their own idiosyncratic profit drivers that are somewhat outside the economy. These sorts of stocks are always good to research because they allow you to create more »

  • A Suspicious Dividend Yield

    By William Bias - September 26, 2012 | Tickers: AM, CALM, GME

    When I see a high dividend yield, I can’t help but be a little suspicious. A high yield can mean a low stock price for justifiable reasons, a special dividend pay out, or lower cash reserves making the dividend unsustainable.

  • Green Eggs and Spam

    By AnnaLisa Kraft - September 17, 2012 | Tickers: CALM, KO, HRL, KRFT, PEP

    What do you think of when you think of an egg? Breakfast time? Green eggs and ham? The number of pleats on a chef’s hat (100) which signifies how many ways the chef should know how to cook eggs? Or an egg a week, a luxury beyond compare, promised to young Frank McCourt, as he recounted in the Pulitzer Prize winning autobiography, ‘Angela’s Ashes?’ Out of all the more »

  • The Golden Eggs of Cal-Maine

    Cal-Maine Foods (NASDAQ: CALM), the largest fresh eggs producer in the United States (with about 16% of the market) might sound like an easy company to analyze. However, performing analysis on a stock like Cal-Maine is actually more difficult than it appears.

  • Investing in the Long-Term Demand for Protein

    By Lee Samaha - August 4, 2012 | Tickers: CALM, MON, SAFM, SFD, SYT

    My favorite type of modern music is minimalism. You know that sort of insistently repetitive series of ambient noises that guys like Brian Eno or Steve Reich specialize in. In response to its seemingly infinite army of detractors I always point out that although the music does sound the same, it is in fact subtly changing so the end result is significantly different.  Ok, so what does this pretentious twaddle more »

  • Insider Trading Report: Smithfield Foods

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - July 11, 2012 | Tickers: CALM, HRL, SAFM, SFD, TSN

    Keeping track of insider transactions can be a helpful tool in gleaning the health and future prospects of stocks. Insiders, due to their management roles, are privy to more information about a company than any analyst or investor could hope to have. Because they have all available information about a company, it is wise to examine their own moves.

    In this instance, we'll look at Smithfield Foods, Inc. (NYSE: SFDmore »)
