About Sunups
Sunups is one of the two brands under which Cal-Maine sells conventional shell eggs — the ordinary eggs that still make up the bulk of its volume and whose price swings dominate its results. That segment's net sales fell by half, to $1.35 billion, in the year to 30 May 2026, after conventional egg prices dropped 50.9 per cent from the extraordinary levels of the previous year, while the volume it shipped stayed roughly flat.

About the owner: Cal-Maine Foods
Cal-Maine Foods is a publicly listed company headquartered in Ridgeland, Mississippi, United States, founded in 1957. Brandtree records 7 brands under its control, and it is listed as NASDAQ: CALM.
Cal-Maine Foods is the largest egg company in the United States by its own account, founded in 1957 and run from Ridgeland, Mississippi. It has acquired and integrated 28 businesses since 1989 and depends heavily on a single customer: Walmart, including Sam's Club, took 30.0 per cent of its net sales in the year to 30 May 2026. In the fourth quarter of that year it split itself into three reporting segments — conventional shell eggs, specialty shell eggs and prepared foods — reflecting a strategy of building an egg-based food business less exposed to the swings in the shell egg price that halved its conventional segment's sales in a single year.
