Opinions The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research)
Cal-Maine Foods Inc.CALMTOP PICKApr 01, 2021
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly CALM is the largest producer of regular shell and specialty eggs in the US. It carries no debt and has been growing its cash flow. They maintain a strong balance sheet by reducing the dividend following a quarterly financial loss. Recently reported EPS of $0.28 beat expectations of $0.07. The company announced a $0.034 dividend (implied payout ratio of 12%). We would buy this with a stop loss at $33, looking to achieve $47 -- upside potential over 20%. Yield 0.3% (Analysts’ price target is $47.00)

With more people cooking at home, sales have been strong -- up over 11% over the year and beating analyst expectations by 4%. EPS of $0.25, also beat expecations of a $0.08 loss. As restaurants re-open sales should grow further. Analysts expect the dividend to be re-instated soon. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $34, looking to achieve $47 -- just over 20% upside. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $47.00)

TOP PICK
Egg prices have gone up very substantially in the US because of fewer hens per cage. Company has had huge earnings growth. Trading at 6X trailing earnings. Pays about a 5% dividend yield. Extremely good value.

TOP PICK
Largest egg producer in North America. Will make about $7 or $8 this year. There was a big short position out and they decided to fight it by paying out a lot of their earnings through dividends. Dividend yield is now 10%.
