Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NASDAQ">CALM</a>) (&quot;Cal-Maine Foods&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) today announced the Company has completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of ISE America, Inc. and certain affiliates (&quot;ISE&quot;) for approximately&nbsp;$110 million. Cal-Maine Foods is funding the acquisition with available cash on hand. The acquired ISE assets include commercial shell egg production and processing facilities with current capacity of approximately 4.7 million laying hens, including 1.0 million cage-free, and 1.2 million pullets, feed mills, approximately 4,000 acres of land, inventories and an egg products breaking facility. The acquired assets also include an extensive customer distribution network across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, and production operations in Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware and South Carolina.

Cal-Maine Foods Acquires ISE America Assets for $110M, Expands Production Capacity

For consumers already dealing with sticky inflation, one food staple is unlikely to provide relief for a uniquely concerning reason.
At the end of April, egg prices increased by 16% since January due to a spike in bird flu among chickens, impacting facilities at Cal-Maine Foods (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NASDAQ">CALM</a>).
Over the past three years, nearly 91 million birds have tested positive for bird flu. Adding to this concern, less than two months ago, scientists confirmed bird flu could also be found in cattle.&nbsp;

</ul>
Dr. Lars Larsen, a veterinary microbiologist at the University of Copenhagen, explained the significance of the findings: "We see an enormous amount of virus in the mammary glands and in the milk" compared to other mammals.
Even more concerning, scientists recently confirmed that cows have human flu receptors, which could act as a "mixing vessel" for different virus mutations.
A co-study by scientists at the University of Copenhagen and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis wrote that "these results provide a mechanistic rationale for the high levels of H5N1 virus reported in infected bovine milk and show cattle have the potential to act as a mixing vessel for novel [influenza virus] generation."

While the CDC maintains that the "risk to the general public remains low" and that human-to-human transmission remains "rare," the spread in cattle has already affected humans, with 70 dairy farmworkers in Colorado currently undergoing monitoring for possible symptoms of bird flu.&nbsp;
The CDC&#8217;s concern about a potential outbreak of bird flu <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/04/38220057/bill-gates-called-for-a-universal-flu-vaccine-now-the-cdc-director-says-the-organization-is-activate">remains at the top of the mind</a>, but a core issue for the agency now is to get the public to listen to it.
While the CDC has strongly advised against consuming raw milk due to the increase of bird flu among cows, warning that "raw milk can be contaminated with harmful germs that can make you very sick," the sale of unpasteurized milk has not reduced.&nbsp;
According to market research firm NielsenIQ, sales of raw milk have increased between 21% and 65% since March 25, when bird flu was first confirmed in cattle.&nbsp;

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts' Views On 3 Defensive Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

Cal-Maine Foods Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/calm#NASDAQ">CALM</a>) is the largest and leading producer and distributor of fresh shell eggs in the United States, with a 19% market share. Shareholders are rejoicing over its strong fiscal Q3 2024 earnings report and special $1.00 dividend. The company has staged a solid turnaround despite egg prices falling and the growing concerns over highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).
Demand has remained stronger than ever, as reflected by its blockbuster earnings figures. Despite record volumes, the basic materials sector stock is still in value investing territory, with shares trading at just 11.15X earnings and 13.59X forward earnings. It competes with Post Holdings Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/post#NYSE">POST</a>) as one of the largest food service suppliers of egg products.
<h2>Avian Flu Impacts </h2>
Concerns over avian flu (h5n1) have been making headlines, with farm livestock and cattle getting infected and even human infections becoming a reality. The USDA reported nearly 15.7 million commercial layer hens and pullets were depopulated (terminated) between November 2023 and January 2024. Cal-Maine experienced an outbreak in its Kansas facility, resulting in 1.5 million laying hens and 240,000 pullets being depopulated.
On April 2, 2024, the company reported positive test results for avian flu at its Parmer County, Texas facility, resulting in depopulating 1.6 million egg-laying hens (adult female chickens) and 337,000 pullets (less than 1 year-old female chickens) or 3.6% of its total flock. Production at the facility has been temporarily halted.&nbsp;
Cal-Maine was impacted by the significant egg supply reduction. With recent outbreaks causing market prices to spike, the overall impact is still considered to not be severe according to the company.
<h2>Growing Portfolio of Brands</h2>
The company has continued to acquire farms like Fassio Egg Farms and a closed broiler processing plant, hatchery and feed mill from Tyson Foods Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsn#NYSE">TSN</a>) to help meet the strong demand. While you may not have seen Cal-Maine namesake brand eggs at your local grocer, you&#39;ve more than likely purchased eggs under their portfolio of brands. They include Farmhouse, 4-Grain, Egg-Land&#39;s Best, Sunny Meadows and Land O&#39;Lakes.
<img alt="calm stock daily cup and handle breakout" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20240407134930_chartz-calm.jpg" style="height:800px; width:915px" />
<h2>Daily Cup and Handle Breakout </h2>
The daily candlestick chart on CALM illustrates a cup and handle breakout pattern. The cup lip line formed on the double top at $58.31 on April 4, 2023. Shares sold off to a swing low of $42.16 on October 4, 2023, before staging a rally back towards the cup lip line, peaking at $57.83. CALM pulled back down to $52.91 on January 4, 2024, to set the stage for the handle formation as shares attempted twice to break the cup lip line, eventually reaching a new high peak at $64.76. The daily relative strength index (RSI) is testing the 70-band on its recent bounce. Pullback support levels are at $58.31, $55.11, $50.23 and $48.06.
<h2>Eggs-Citing EPS Beat and Special Dividend &nbsp;</h2>
On April 2, 2024, Cal-Maine reported an EPS of $3.00, beating consensus estimates for $2.45 by 55 cents. Revenues fell 29.5% YoY to $703.08 million, beating $692.35 million consensus estimates. The company will pay out a special $1.00 dividend to hold its Class A common stock, payable May 16, 2024, to holders of record as of May 1, 2024.
<h2>CEO Insights </h2>
Cal-Maine CEO Max Bowman noted that its fiscal Q3 2024 sales of $703.1 million were up against tough comps of $997.5 million in the year-ago period, which was the company&#39;s highest quarterly sales period with record high average selling prices for specialty and conventional eggs. The sales decline was a result of a significant drop in supplies due to the avian flu. Market prices have spiked as a result. Overall volume rose 3.2% to 300.9 million dozen.
Conventional eggs sold grew 2.6% to 192.2 million dozen, while specialty eggs rose 4.4% YoY to 108.6 million dozen sold. The net average selling price per dozen conventional eggs dropped 40% to $2.152 compared to $3.678 in the year-ago period. Specialty egg prices fell from $2.616 per dozen, down 36.1%, to $2.415 per dozen.
Bowman commented, &quot;Demand for shell eggs has remained strong as consumers look for an affordable and nutritious protein option. Across our operations, we are focused on meeting this demand as we continue to identify opportunities to extend our market reach.&quot;
Bowman concluded, &quot;We have a strong balance sheet that provides us with the flexibility to fund our growth initiatives, including potential acquisitions. We believe fiscal 2024 will be another successful year for the Company, and we look forward to the opportunities ahead for Cal-Maine Foods.&quot;

Why Cal-Maine Foods Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 8%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Gloom persists on Wall Street as stock futures point to a sluggish start on Wednesday, with the tech space potentially pressured by recent setbacks and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38062166/taiwan-shaken-by-massive-7-2-magnitude-earthquake-forcing-tsmc-to-suspend-chip-production" rel="noreferrer noopener">the earthquake in Taiwan</a>, home to several tech industry suppliers. Traders also face key data on services and jobs, along with remarks from several&nbsp;Federal Reserve&nbsp;officials.
Cues From Previous Session:
Rate worries weighed heavily on Tuesday, pushing all major averages down by more than 2%. Tuesday&#8217;s data releases, including a rebound in manufacturing activity and in-line job openings, reinforced concerns about a strong economy that could prompt the Fed to raise interest rates more aggressively. The indices opened significantly lower and remained flat for most of the session, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&amp;P 500 ending lower for a second consecutive day.
The sell-off was broad-based, with consumer discretionary, healthcare, and real estate stocks leading the decline. Energy stocks, on the other hand, rallied strongly on continued oil price strength, while utility and communication services edged higher. 
The Dow and Nasdaq Composite closed at their lowest points in two weeks, reflecting broader market anxieties.

Insights From Analysts:
Notwithstanding the recent lean patch, a fund manager is optimistic about a near-term recovery. &#8220;Spring is a happy time of year.  This good feeling rubs off on the stock market since April is a seasonally strong month,&#8221; said fund Louis Navellier. Citing Bespoke data, he said the Dow Industrials has posted an average April gain of 2.2% in the past 50 years.  
Navellier also sees another reason to be optimistic. &#8220;The other reason that April is such a strong month is due to annual pension funding before taxes are filed,&#8221; he said.

Acuity Brands, Cal-Maine Foods And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NASDAQ">CALM</a>) reported its fourth-quarter financial results after the bell Tuesday. Here's a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/04/b38056887/cal-maine-foods-reports-results-for-third-quarter-fiscal-2024">look at the highlights.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: Cal-Maine Foods reported quarterly earnings of $3.00 per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $2.46 by 21.95%. 
Quarterly sales clocked in at $703.08 million which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $692.35 million by 1.55% and represents a 29.52% decrease over sales of $997.49 million from the same period last year.
The company also reported that one of its facilities in Palmer County, Texas, tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), resulting in depopulation of approximately 1.6 million laying hens and 337,000 pullets, or approximately 3.6% of its total flock as of March 2. 
Production at the facility has temporarily ceased as the company follows the protocols prescribed by the USDA. 
Cal-Maine Foods said it is working to secure production from other facilities to minimize disruption to its customers.
&#8220;We are very pleased with Cal-Maine Foods&#8217; strong financial and operating performance for the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Our sales reflect lower average selling prices compared to a year ago, when the shell egg industry experienced record high market prices due primarily to the impact of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and other market factors resulting in a significant reduction in supply,&#8221; commented Sherman Miller, CEO of Cal-Maine Foods. 
&#8220;While the more recent outbreaks of HPAI have also affected supply and caused market prices to move higher, the overall market impact has not been as severe. Fueled by strong demand, our total sales volumes (dozens sold) for the quarter were higher than the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and reached a Company record,&#8221; added Miller.

Recap: Cal-Maine Foods Q3 Earnings

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NASDAQ">CALM</a>) ("Cal-Maine Foods" or "Company") today reported that one of the Company's facilities located in Parmer County, Texas, tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza ("HPAI"), resulting in depopulation of approximately 1.6 million laying hens and 337,000 pullets, or approximately 3.6% of the Company's total flock as of March 2, 2024. Production at the facility has temporarily ceased as the Company follows the protocols prescribed by the USDA. Cal-Maine Foods is working to secure production from other facilities to minimize disruption to its customers.
The Company remains dedicated to robust biosecurity programs across its locations; however, no farm is immune from HPAI. HPAI is still present in the wild bird population and the extent of possible future outbreaks, with heightened risk during the migration seasons, cannot be predicted. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the human health risk to the U.S. public from HPAI viruses is considered to be low. Also, according to the USDA, HPAI cannot be transmitted through safely handled and properly cooked eggs. There is no known risk related to HPAI associated with eggs that are currently in the market and no eggs have been recalled.
The Company continues to work closely with federal, state and local government officials and focused industry groups to mitigate the risk of future outbreaks and effectively manage the response.
The APHIS division of the USDA and individual states track and publicly report individual incidents of HPAI by location. The Company will provide updated information in its next quarterly report to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not expect to provide interim updates unless material.
