Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. posted a net loss of $58.6 M in the Aug 2026 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was $317 M. Over 5 years profit has grown 173.7% a year on average. That loss is 10.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $199 M. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

Aug 2026 profit was −$58.6 M, −129.4% on a year earlier. For the full year, FY26 profit was $317 M (−74.0% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed −41.5% on a year earlier and the margin moved −41.3 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −95.8% and revenue −41.0%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. reported $540 M of revenue in the Aug 2026 quarter, −41.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 5 years it has grown 16.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $2.9 B. The last four reported quarters add to $2.5 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

FY26 revenue was $2.9 B, −31.7% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −41.0% on average, against 16.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −42.5%, against −2.4% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew −95.4%, against −62.9% a year (rolling over).

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc.'s operating margin was −15.1% in the Aug 2026 quarter, 41.3 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 years it has been between −1.9% and 36.6%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −41.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −33.6 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 119% of Cal-Maine Foods, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $480 M of operating cash against $317 M of profit. After $151 M of spending on assets, $329 M was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $460 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 5.3% of FY26 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $460 M over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc.'s P/E is 55.2×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 97% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 6.0×, over 4.4 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.
