CAL-MAINE FOODS, INC.
Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, according to its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and is separately registered with the Mississippi Secretary of State, where its status is listed as active. The company was incorporated in 1969, and its principal executive offices are located at 1052 Highland Colony Parkway in Ridgeland, Mississippi, as stated in its most recent Form 10-K.
Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. describes itself in its SEC filings as the largest producer and marketer of shell eggs in the United States. It produces, grades, packages and distributes fresh shell eggs across conventional, cage-free, organic, pasture-raised and free-range categories, together with prepared egg-based foods such as pre-cooked egg patties, omelets, pancakes and waffles. Its products are sold under owned and licensed brands including Eggland’s Best, Land O’Lakes, Farmhouse Eggs, Van’s and Crepini, principally to grocery, retail-club and food-service customers across the United States.
Common stock of Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol CALM. For the fiscal year ended 30 May 2026, the company reported consolidated net sales of approximately $2.91 billion and net income attributable to Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. of approximately $316.7 million, down from net sales of about $4.26 billion and net income of about $1.22 billion in the prior fiscal year. In its fourth fiscal quarter alone, the company reported a net loss of approximately $35.9 million, which it attributed to an industry-wide oversupply of eggs that drove wholesale shell-egg prices to historically low, inflation-adjusted levels.
The company has continued to expand its prepared-foods and specialty-egg business through acquisitions, including the completion of its purchase of Echo Lake Foods LLC in June 2025, the acquisition of Clean Egg, LLC in October 2025, the purchase of shell-egg and prepared-foods assets from Creighton Brothers LLC in March 2026, and the acquisition of Van’s Foods branded assets in May 2026, each disclosed in the company’s SEC filings.

Shareholders

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. is a publicly traded company whose common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol CALM, and its shareholder base is governed by SEC beneficial-ownership disclosure rules rather than a state-level shareholder register. The institutional holdings shown in this profile reflect individual index funds affiliated with large asset managers, each holding a low- to mid-single-digit percentage of outstanding shares; the largest reported fund positions are held by Vanguard Group Inc funds and iShares/BlackRock funds, consistent with widely held index-tracking ownership rather than a concentrated ownership structure.
Until 14 April 2025, Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. had a dual-class share structure in which each share of Class A Common Stock carried ten votes and was held principally by members of the family of the company’s late founder, Fred R. Adams, Jr., through an entity known as Daughters’ LLC. On that date, all 4,800,000 then-outstanding Class A shares converted into an equal number of ordinary Common Stock shares carrying one vote each, following an agreement announced in February 2025. As a result of this conversion, the company confirmed in an SEC filing that it is no longer considered a “controlled company” under Nasdaq listing rules.
Following the conversion, Adolphus B. Baker, the company’s Board Chair and a member of the founding family, was reported in the company’s 2025 proxy statement as beneficially owning approximately 3.5% of outstanding shares (1,703,187 shares) as of the 8 August 2025 record date, with his spouse, Dinnette Adams Baker, separately reported as beneficially owning 236,647 shares. The same proxy statement reported BlackRock, Inc. as holding approximately 12.8% of shares (6,217,701 shares) and The Vanguard Group as holding approximately 9.8% (4,771,655 shares) as of that date, based on their SEC beneficial-ownership filings.
No individual or entity is currently reported as holding a controlling stake in Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. following the April 2025 Class A Conversion, and no natural person has been identified as an ultimate beneficial owner under a recognised ownership or control threshold based on the available information.
Shareholder disclosure for Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. should be treated as major shareholders only: SEC rules require beneficial-ownership reporting mainly for holders whose stakes cross applicable disclosure thresholds, so the complete shareholder base, including the majority of publicly traded shares, is not individually disclosed. The information above reflects filing and record dates ranging from August 2025 to September 2026, as stated for each source.

Officers
28
Cal-Maine Foods, Inc.’s Mississippi state filing shows several active officer or director records, but this state-level filing is narrower than the executive and board disclosures the company makes to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and at least one title in the state record appears out of date. Sherman L. Miller has served as President and Chief Executive Officer since 30 September 2022, according to the company’s SEC filings and official announcements, whereas the state filing still lists Adolphus B. Baker with the title “CEO”; Baker in fact stepped down as Chief Executive Officer in 2022 and, per the company’s 2025 proxy statement, currently serves as Board Chair.
Cal-Maine Foods, Inc.’s current named executive officers, as disclosed in its 2025 annual proxy statement, are Adolphus B. Baker (Board Chair), Sherman L. Miller (President and Chief Executive Officer), Max P. Bowman (Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, and a director), Robert L. Holladay Jr. (Vice President and General Counsel) and Michael T. Walters (Chief Operating Officer). The board also includes non-executive directors Letitia C. Hughes, James E. Poole, Steve W. Sanders and Camille S. Young; a “Sanders Steve” director record in the Mississippi state filing is consistent with this current directorship.
Two verified recent changes occurred on 11 August 2025: Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. appointed Keira Lombardo as the company’s first Chief Strategy Officer, effective immediately, and appointed Melanie Boulden as an independent Class I director, increasing the board from seven to eight members effective 1 September 2025, according to the company’s Form 8-K and accompanying press releases.
Nationality is not disclosed for any officer or director in the reviewed sources and has not been inferred from names, addresses or reported country of residence; country of residence is likewise not disclosed. The address recorded in the Mississippi state filing, 3320 West Woodrow Wilson Avenue, Jackson, Mississippi, is a correspondence address used for that filing rather than a personal address, and it differs from the company’s current principal executive office address of 1052 Highland Colony Parkway, Ridgeland, Mississippi, stated in its most recent Form 10-K. Officer information for this company is best treated as partial at the state level and more complete through its SEC disclosures.

Group Structure
Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. is a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and is not disclosed as a subsidiary of any other corporate parent; it is the ultimate parent of its own group.

No other acquisition, disposal or reorganisation involving a named subsidiary has been separately verified for this profile.
Corporate-linkage information for Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. is assessed as full at the parent level and largely full at the subsidiary level: the company’s SEC filings confirm it has no corporate parent and name its subsidiaries, their jurisdictions and ownership percentages, as of the Exhibit 21 filed on 22 July 2026. This list may not reflect subsidiaries formed, dissolved or acquired after that filing date, including in connection with the company’s other, asset-only acquisitions announced in 2025 and 2026.
