Cal-Maine Foods downgraded to Hold after $58.6M loss and 42% sales drop due to egg price slump

Cal-Maine Foods reported a $58.6 million net loss and a 42% drop in net sales, driven by lower conventional egg prices. An analyst downgraded the stock to Hold with a $70 price target, reflecting a modest 2.85% upside from current levels. Despite challenges in the conventional egg segment, the company maintains a strong balance sheet and shows early signs of egg price recovery, trading at an EV-to-Sales ratio below 1x, suggesting potential undervaluation.
