CALMCal-Maine Foods, Inc.
Is the price fair?
Undemanding: modest expectations priced in and cheap vs its sector.
Priced for a decline (~−2% a year). The price bakes in little to no growth.
In its normal range: P/E 9.8 vs a 9.6 median over 29 quarters (+2% vs median).
Sector median 16.6× across 78 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.
Unless marked, from derived, as of May 30, 2026.
