"With prices so elevated, Cal-Maine Food (CALM) is set for another massive surge in and . But it's not going to last, and investors are well aware.
Take a look at the light blue bars. These show short-term expectations, which tend to be pretty accurate. As we endure another period of high egg prices, Uniform returns are expected to reach 38% this year.
But after that, (the white bars) expect Uniform ROA to fall back to 9%. That's more in line with the company's regular years. As you can see, the market isn't convinced by Cal-Maine's recent strong numbers.
We couldn't agree more. There's no way anyone should be earning 40% returns on eggs. As prices come back down, folks who bought in during this blip will be left holding the bag," states Joel Litman of Altimetry.
