Valuing Cal-Maine Foods stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Cal-Maine Foods's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Cal-Maine Foods's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 12x. In other words, Cal-Maine Foods shares trade at around 12x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Cal-Maine Foods's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.75. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Cal-Maine Foods's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 68.39% of net profits
Recently Cal-Maine Foods has paid out, on average, around 68.39% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.88% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Cal-Maine Foods shareholders could enjoy a 2.88% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cal-Maine Foods's case, that would currently equate to about $1.879 per share.
Cal-Maine Foods's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Cal-Maine Foods's most recent dividend payout was on 15 May 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 April 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Cal-Maine Foods's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 2 November 2014. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Cal-Maine Foods shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Cal-Maine Foods shares which in turn could have impacted Cal-Maine Foods's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Cal-Maine Foods's shares have ranged in value from as little as $41.4265 up to $68.37. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Cal-Maine Foods's is -0.113. This would suggest that Cal-Maine Foods's shares have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, Cal-Maine Foods has bucked the trend.
