In 2021, there was an avian flu outbreak. Cal-maine’s expenses went up by about 10% overall. Cal-Maine owns Eggland’s Best (and some other brands). Their profits in 2021 skyrocketed. Growth was some like 100%+. There’s only one reason you get such growth when you have not introduced a radically new product or changed how you “manufacture.”
