BofA analyst Peter Galbo reiterates an Underperform rating on Cal-Maine Foods with a $55 price target following the company’s Q2 earnings miss. The downside was driven by higher cost of goods, specifically higher outside egg purchases, Galbo tells investors in a research note. He expects the earnings miss will weigh on shares given the year-to-date performance in Cal-Maine’s stock price and a potential shift in seasonal egg pricing down post Christmas.
