In recent weeks, the price of eggs in the U.S. has soared due to a combination of increasing demand and substantial losses in laying hen populations caused by bird flu. Prices for a dozen eggs have escalated from $4 to $8. While consumers face these escalating costs, major egg producers like Cal-Maine Foods and Vital Farms have experienced significant stock price increases, outperforming many other sectors. Analysts suggest there is further potential for growth in these companies, making them attractive to investors amid challenging market conditions.
"In 2024, egg prices rose by 56%. While consumers suffer from the hikes, investors in major egg producers saw significant stock price increases, with Cal-Maine Foods up 57.82% and Vital Farms soaring 120%."
"Analysts note that despite the sharp rise in egg prices, companies like Cal-Maine Foods and Vital Farms still have room for growth, with 72% recommending shares in Vital Farms."
