China's Short-Term Rally Isn't Enough

"With #egg prices so elevated, Cal-Maine Food (CALM) is set for another massive surge in #earnings and #revenue. But it's not going to last, and investors are well aware.
Cal-Maine's Uniform return on assets ("ROA") mostly ranges from negative to positive single-digit levels. During the post-pandemic inflation spike in 2023, it soared to 45%... a 15-year record.
Take a look at the light blue bars. These show short-term #WallStreet expectations, which tend to be pretty accurate. As we endure another period of high egg prices, Uniform returns are expected to reach 38% this year.
But after that, #investors (the white bars) expect Uniform ROA to fall back to 9%. That's more in line with the company's regular years. As you can see, the market isn't convinced by Cal-Maine's recent strong numbers.
We couldn't agree more. There's no way anyone should be earning 40% returns on eggs. As prices come back down, folks who bought in during this blip will be left holding the bag," states @JoelLitman of our corporate affiliate @AltimetryStock.

"The best market analogy for today is probably the early dot com boom from 1994-2000.
And in late January 1997 (read mid-February 2025) we started a 3 month pullback that ended up down 13% as the max drawdown in the Nasdaq.
1 of 10 10% pullbacks of that 600%-up bull rally.
WSJ headlines at the time were about Washington, taxes, interest rates, and regulation headlines sent stocks tumbling (not about whether the dot com boom was still working...) before the market got back to focusing on the real story and not the sideshow.
Sounds mighty familiar," states @spiveyvalens of our corporate affiliate @AltimetryStock.
