Top 3 Risk Off Stocks Which Could Rescue Your Portfolio This Quarter

As inflation rises, grocery stocks have emerged as major beneficiaries, particularly those <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43709413/egg-prices-hit-record-highs-new-york-bodegas-get-creative-and-sell-three-packs-for-299">tied to egg production</a>. 
The price of eggs has skyrocketed due to supply constraints, sending shares of Vital Farms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VITL#NASDAQ">VITL</a>) up 154% and Cal-Maine Foods (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NASDAQ">CALM</a>) up 90% over the past year. We will discuss more on that later, but before that, let us see how investors looking to capitalize on these trends can consider <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs with significant exposure</a> to the aforementioned stocks and the food industry in general, such as the Invesco Food &amp; Beverage ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBJ#NYSE">PBJ</a>) and the Invesco S&amp;P SmallCap Consumer Staples ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSCC#NASDAQ">PSCC</a>).
The Invesco Food &amp; Beverage ETF offers exposure to companies engaged in food production, distribution, and retail. It holds leading names in the food industry, including packaged food manufacturers and grocery retailers. With a focus on consumer staples, PBJ provides investors with a diversified approach to food sector investing, helping them capitalize on rising grocery prices while mitigating risks associated with individual stocks. Companies such as Vital Farms, and PepsiCo are among its top holdings.

The ETF's allocation to food manufacturers and retailers ensures it benefits from higher food prices. The recent surge in egg prices, along with elevated costs for other breakfast staples like orange juice and coffee, positions this ETF well for continued growth. The price of the ETF has surged around 2% in the past 5 days.
The Invesco S&amp;P SmallCap Consumer Staples ETF focuses on small-cap consumer staples companies, including food producers and distributors. Given that smaller food companies can experience outsized gains during price surges, this ETF is an attractive option for investors looking to capture high-growth opportunities in the grocery sector.
Key Holdings include Cal-Maine Foods and Vital Farms, both of which have seen explosive stock price growth amid the egg price spike.
With its targeted exposure to smaller, high-growth food companies, PSCC offers a direct way to invest in the ongoing food inflation trend. The ETF stands to benefit from continued price increases in essential grocery items, making it a compelling choice in the current market environment.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Egg Price Surge And Inflation Impact</h3>
Inflation in the U.S. <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43663963/record-high-egg-prices-drive-inflation-higher-in-january">picked up in January</a>, driven by higher grocery, gasoline, and rent prices. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) grew 3% year over year, up from December's 2.9%, marking the highest increase since June. 
Monthly, the index rose 0.5%, the largest uptick since August 2023.
Among the key drivers of inflation were food prices, with grocery costs rising 0.3% in December following a 0.5% increase in November. Notably, egg prices soared 15.2% from December and 53% from the prior year, the steepest increase since June 2015. This surge—attributed to adverse weather and bird flu outbreaks—has led to significant gains for egg producers.
As food inflation accelerates, ETFs like PBJ and PSCC offer investors a way to gain exposure to grocery stocks poised to benefit from these trends.

Retailers including Costco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>), Trader Joe's and Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFM#NASDAQ">SFM</a>) are limiting the number of eggs that consumers can buy in the wake of the surging prices and limited supplies, as <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/grocery-stores-limit-egg-purchases-thefts-increase-bird-flu/story?id=118732180">reported </a>by ABC News.
Bodegas in New York are taking matters into their own hands to offer a solution to consumers who need to buy a few eggs at a time and can't afford the $10+ cost per dozen eggs in the state.
Pamela's Green Deli in the Bronx is selling "loosie"-style eggs, similar to selling single cigarettes, to consumers, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/02/12/us-news/nyc-bodegas-selling-loosie-eggs-as-prices-of-cartons-skyrocket/">reported </a>by the New York Post.
"These people don't have enough money to buy a dozen eggs, so I have to sell them separately," Pamel's Green Deli owner Fernando Rodriguez told the Post. "When I saw how high the price of eggs has become, we decided to break it down into small bags."
Rodriguez said the store previously sold a dozen eggs for $2.49 before the recent spikes related to bird flu. A plastic bag of three eggs now sells for $2.99 at the store.
The store, which serves a large number of low-income consumers, is seeing demand for the loosies over buying a dozen eggs at a time. Rodriguez said around one-third of the store's customers are buying the three packs rather than the dozen eggs.
Rodriguez, who is from the Dominican Republic, said that his home country used to sell single eggs. "I know how difficult it is for families to afford eggs and milk."
Other bodegas are catching on to the practice and using the same method. According to the report, selling cigarettes individually is illegal and selling eggs out of the dozen could also be a potential illegal practice.

Why It's Important: The USDA reports that 150 million poultry birds have been killed since 2022 as bird flu continues to spread across the country. The spike in bird flu is leading to less egg-producing birds and causing shortages.
The number of poultry birds killed has risen in recent months with seven million in November, 18 million in December and 23 million in January.
On Wednesday, the state of Ohio reported its first human case of bird flu with a farm worker in Mercer County being infected. There have been 68 human cases of bird flu in 11 states since 2024, as <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2025/02/13/bird-flu-ohio-first-human-case/78510403007/">reported </a>by USA Today.  
People who work with poultry, dairy cows and waterfowl are most at risk of becoming infected with bird flu, like the Ohio worker.
Cal-Maine Foods Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NASDAQ">CALM</a>), the nation's largest egg producer is likely to come under pressure as egg prices rise. The company's recent second-quarter financial results saw revenue of $954.7 million significantly beat a Street consensus estimate of $751.5 million.
The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share and revenue in four straight quarters according to data <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent021325&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro</a>. The better-than-expected results come as the cost of eggs have soared for consumers.

Egg Prices Hit Record Highs, New York Bodegas Get Creative And Sell Three Packs For $2.99

January's inflation data came in hotter-than-expected Wednesday morning with the cost of groceries rising again, due in part to a jump in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/02/43511263/high-egg-prices-drive-waffle-house-to-add-50-cent-surcharge">the price of eggs.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: The average price of a dozen eggs reached a record-high of $4.95 last month, rising 15.2% and contributing to a 0.5% increase in the cost of food at home.&nbsp;
Charlie Billelo, chief market strategist for Creative Planning, highlighted the 238% jump in the average price of a dozen eggs as the largest 4-year increase in history.&nbsp;

Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows that a record number of more than 20 million egg-laying chickens died in the last quarter due to the H5N1 bird flu. Bill Adams, Chief Economist for Comerica Bank, pointed to the bird flu as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/01/43372753/eggs-prices-soar-as-bird-flu-spreads-why-experts-expect-another-45-increase-in-2025">the cause</a> of the jump in egg prices.&nbsp;&nbsp;
"The H5N1 bird flu sweeping through the U.S. agriculture industry is forcing farmers to cull infected birds and sending egg prices soaring, a big supply-side shock to food prices. Whole fresh chicken prices rose 1.0% on the month, too," Adams said.&nbsp;
Interestingly, egg producers are reporting record profits as the avian flu spreads while consumers pay higher prices.&nbsp;
Cal-Maine Foods Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NASDAQ">CALM</a>), the nation&#8217;s largest egg producer, reported<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/42862269/cal-maine-foods-stock-climbs-after-strong-q2-results-eps-beat-revenues-beat"> its most recent </a>quarterly revenue at $954.7 million, well above the $751.49 million consensus estimate.

Record-High Egg Prices Drive Inflation Higher In January

Investors might want to bet on Cal-Maine Foods (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/calm#NASDAQ">CALM</a>), as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). This rating change essentially reflects an upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
The Zacks rating relies solely on a company&#39;s changing earnings picture. It tracks EPS estimates for the current and following years from the sell-side analysts covering the stock through a consensus measure -- the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
The power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements makes the Zacks rating system highly useful for individual investors since it can be difficult to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts. These are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real-time.
As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for Cal-Maine is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.
<h2>Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices</h2>
The change in a company&#39;s future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, and the near-term price movement of its stock are proven to be strongly correlated. The influence of institutional investors has a partial contribution to this relationship, as these big professionals use earnings and earnings estimates to calculate the fair value of a company&#39;s shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their transaction of large amounts of shares then leads to price movement for the stock.
Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for Cal-Maine imply an improvement in the company&#39;s underlying business. Investors should show their appreciation for this improving business trend by pushing the stock higher.
<h2>Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions</h2>
As empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, tracking such revisions for making an investment decision could be truly rewarding. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. You can see <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/buy-list/?ADID=zp_1link&amp;ICID=zpi _1link" target="_blank">the complete list of today&#39;s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</a>.
<h2>Earnings Estimate Revisions for Cal-Maine</h2>
This egg producer is expected to earn $15.59 per share for the fiscal year ending May 2025, which represents a year-over-year change of 174%.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Cal-Maine. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 82.6%.
<h2>Bottom Line</h2>
Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of &#39;buy&#39; and &#39;sell&#39; ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a &#39;Strong Buy&#39; rating and the next 15% get a &#39;Buy&#39; rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.
You can learn <a href="https://www.zacks.com/education/stock-education/zacks-rank-guide" target="_blank">more about the Zacks Rank here &gt;&gt;&gt;</a>
The upgrade of Cal-Maine to a Zacks Rank #1 positions it in the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

All You Need To Know About Cal-Maine (CALM) Rating Upgrade To Strong Buy

As egg prices soar due to shortages caused by the bird flu, a new warning signal is flashing red: Waffle House has added a 50-cents-per-egg <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/01/43372753/eggs-prices-soar-as-bird-flu-spreads-why-experts-expect-another-45-increase-in-2025">surcharge to its menu items. </a>
What To Know: Waffle House is known for its emergency preparedness and ability to deliver 24-hour, 365-day service, even under extreme conditions. FEMA unofficially uses the "Waffle House Index" to inform disaster responses and when the Waffle House makes adjustments, it might be time to pay attention.
Waffle House pointed to the impact of ongoing egg shortages and rising prices caused by bird flu as the reason for its new 50 cent egg surcharge.&nbsp;

"While we hope these price fluctuations will be short-lived we cannot predict how long this shortage will last," the company told Reuters.&nbsp;
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the wholesale cost for a dozen eggs in the Midwest is $7.08, nearly seven times the price from two years ago. WholeFoods in New York City sells a dozen cage-free eggs for $11.99.&nbsp;
What Else: Eggs are so expensive that a $40,000 theft was reported over the weekend by Pete &amp; Gerry's Organics in Antrim Township, Pennsylvania. About 100,000 organic eggs were reportedly taken from the back of a distribution trailer, according to a CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/stolen-eggs-pennsylvania-pete-and-gerry-farm/">report</a>.&nbsp;
The Pennsylvania State police are investigating but have not released any information on potential suspects or circumstances surrounding the theft.&nbsp;
Kalshi even has a<a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/kxeggs/egg-prices"> betting market</a> on egg prices that shows a 79% chance that egg prices will go up during President Donald Trump's first month in office.&nbsp;
What's Going On: The bird flu outbreak is behind the current egg shortages and high prices look to continue with no relief in sight. The USDA<a href="https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-price-outlook/summary-findings#:~:text=In%202025,%20prices%20for%20all,of%20-2.7%20to%205.5%20percent.%5C"> predicts</a> egg prices will rise another 45% in 2025 due in large part to the bird flu ravaging commercial flocks.
Data from USDA shows that a record number of more than 20 million egg-laying chickens died in the last quarter due to bird flu. Last week the second-largest egg producer in the U.S., Rose Acre Farms confirmed its chickens had tested positive for bird flu, likely extending the period of high egg prices and shortages.&nbsp;
Stocks To Watch: Egg producers are reporting record profits during the ongoing bird flu outbreak, however.&nbsp;
Cal-Maine Foods Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NASDAQ">CALM</a>) , the nation&#8217;s largest egg producer, recently blew estimates out of the water with quarterly revenue of $954.7 million, well above the $751.49 million analyst estimate.
Cal-Maine Foods stock has gained more than 90% over the past year.&nbsp;
Another stock to watch is Vital Farms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VITL#NASDAQ">VITL</a>), a smaller producer specializing in pasture-raised eggs. Telsey Advisory Group analyst Sarang Vora recently said he sees the company's sales growing at an annual growth rate of 19% to 20% and hitting the $1 billion mark in 2027.&nbsp;
Vital Farms stock is up nearly 150% over the past year.&nbsp;

High Egg Prices Drive Waffle House To Add 50-Cent Surcharge

Reported Earlier, Cal-Maine Foods Acquires Two Feed Mills, Strengthening Production Efficiency

Shares of egg producer Cal-Maine Foods are trading lower. Weakness may be due to uncertainty regarding bird flu concerns.

Egg prices in the U.S. have risen 60% over the past year, due in large part to the bird flu ravaging commercial flocks. Here's a look at why experts see the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/43117087/bird-flu-update-first-commercial-case-in-georgia-moderna-receives-590-million-to-develop-vaccine"> prices continuing to climb.</a> 
The Details: The average price for a dozen large, grade-A eggs rose 60% over the past year, reaching $4.15 in December, according <a href="https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/APU0000708111">to data</a> from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The USDA predicts egg prices <a href="https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-price-outlook/summary-findings#:~:text=In%202025,%20prices%20for%20all,of%20-2.7%20to%205.5%20percent.%5C">will </a>rise another 45% in 2025 due to a strain of bird flu known as H5N1 that killed 13.2 million commercial egg-laying hens in December.

On top of the record-high prices, consumers are also facing egg shortages and purchase limits at major retailers like Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Albertsons Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>). 
Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows that a record number of more than 20 million egg-laying chickens died in the last quarter due to bird flu.&nbsp;
In an attempt to contain the virus, farmers are compensated for chickens and eggs that are destroyed through a USDA program which said it had paid out $1.25 billion to farmers since the outbreak started in 2022, according to a CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/egg-industry-chicken-deaths-bird-flu/">report</a>.&nbsp;
In fact, egg producers are reporting record profits during the latest bird flu outbreak. Cal-Maine Foods Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NYSE">CALM</a>), the nation's largest egg producer, reported<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/42862269/cal-maine-foods-stock-climbs-after-strong-q2-results-eps-beat-revenues-beat"> its most recent </a>quarterly revenue at $954.7 million, well above the $751.49 million consensus estimate.
The company attributed its high revenue in part to restricted supply resulting from bird flu outbreaks. Cal-Maine Foods stock has gained more than 75% over the past six months.&nbsp;
Telsey Advisory Group analyst Sarang Vora initiated coverage this week on Vital Farms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VITL#NASDAQ">VITL</a>), a smaller producer specializing in pasture-raised eggs. Vora said he sees the company&#8217;s sales growing at an annual growth rate of 19% to 20% and hitting the $1 billion mark in 2027, versus $600 million in 2024. 
This week, Rose Acre Farms, the second-largest egg producer in the U.S., confirmed its chickens had tested positive for bird flu, likely extending the period of high egg prices and shortages.

Eggs Prices Soar As Bird Flu Spreads: Why Experts Expect Another 45% Increase In 2025

According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the current bird flu outbreak has caused 67 human cases of bird flu in the U.S. and one death associated with the virus. The virus was confirmed on Friday at a commercial poultry production facility in Georgia, the nation's top state <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/43046294/bird-flu-raising-red-flags-among-health-officials-cdc-urges-faster-testing">for chicken production. </a>
What To Know: The CDC said that the current public health risk is low and the agency is watching the situation carefully and monitoring people with animal exposures. Bird flu is "widespread in wild birds worldwide and is causing outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy cows with several recent human cases in U.S. dairy and poultry workers," the CDC stated in its <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/situation-summary/index.html">most recent</a> update.&nbsp;
On Friday, the Georgia Department of Agriculture announced it <a href="https://agr.georgia.gov/avian-influenza">detected</a> a case of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza at a commercial poultry producer in the state. The case marks the first in Georgia, the nation's top state for chicken production, since the 2022 countrywide outbreak.

"This is a serious threat to Georgia's #1 industry and the livelihoods of thousands of Georgians who make their living in our state's poultry industry," Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper said in a news release.&nbsp;
According to an AP News<a href="https://apnews.com/article/bird-flu-georgia-chicken-commercial-flock-a5bcad4662d4cf60212f6acb4a55d2ad"> report,</a> the bird flu virus has been detected in 84 commercial and backyard flocks in the past month with 10.7 million birds affected. The virus has also been confirmed in dozens of dairy farms.
What Else: On Friday, Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/43105845/why-is-moderna-stock-trading-higher-on-tuesday-2">it received</a> an additional $590 million award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to accelerate the development of its mRNA-based influenza vaccines, including bird flu.
In 2023, Moderna commenced a Phase 1/2 study to generate safety and immunogenicity data for an investigational pandemic influenza vaccine (mRNA-1018) candidate against the H5 and H7 avian influenza viruses. Based on the preliminary data from the Phase 1/2 study, Moderna is preparing to advance mRNA-1018 into Phase 3. 
Other pharmaceutical companies, including Novavax Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>), have bird flu vaccine candidates currently in clinical trials. 
CureVac BV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVAC#NASDAQ">CVAC</a>) started a phase I/II study on its bird flu vaccine candidate developed in collaboration with GSK plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>).

1월의 인플레이션 데이터가 예상보다 높은 수치를 기록한 가운데, 식료품 가격이 다시 상승했다. 이는 부분적으로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/02/43511263/high-egg-prices-drive-waffle-house-to-add-50-cent-surcharge">계란 가격 상승</a> 때문이다.
알아두어야 할 사항: 12개의 계란 묶음 평균 가격이 지난달에 기록적으로 4.95달러에 이르러 15.2% 상승하였고, 이로 인해 가정용 식품 가격이 0.5% 상승했다.
찰리 빌렐로(Charlie Billelo), 크리에티브 플래닝(Creative Planning)의 수석 시장 전략가는 12개의 계란 평균 가격이 238% 상승한 것은 역사상 가장 큰 4년 상승폭이라고 강조했다.

미국 농무부의 데이터에 따르면, H5N1 조류 독감으로 인해 지난 분기에 2천만 마리 이상의 산란계가 사망하여 역사적인 수치를 기록했다. 빌 아담스(Bill Adams), 코메리카 뱅크의 수석 경제학자는 조류 독감을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/01/43372753/eggs-prices-soar-as-bird-flu-spreads-why-experts-expect-another-45-increase-in-2025">계란 가격 상승의 원인</a>으로 지목했다.
&#8220;미국 농업 산업을 강타한 H5N1 조류 독감은 농부들이 감염된 새들을 도태하게 하고 계란 가격을 급등시켜 식품 가격에 큰 공급 측면 충격을 주고 있다. 생닭 가격도 한 달 동안 1.0% 상승했다&#8221;고 아담스가 말했다.
흥미롭게도, 계란 생산자들은 조류 독감이 확산됨에 따라 기록적인 이익을 보고하고 있으며 소비자들은 더 높은 가격을 지불하고 있다.
칼 마인 푸즈(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NASDAQ">CALM</a>), 미국 최대의 계란 생산업체는<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/42862269/cal-maine-foods-stock-climbs-after-strong-q2-results-eps-beat-revenues-beat">최근 분기 매출이 9억 5천 4백만 달러로</a> 컨센서스 추정치인 7억 5천 1백 49만 달러를 크게 초과했다고 보고했다.
미국 농무부(USDA)는 계란 가격이 <a href="https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-price-outlook/summary-findings#:~:text=In%202025,%20prices%20for%20all,of%20-2.7%20to%205.5%20percent.%5C">2025년에 또 다시 45% 상승할 것</a>이라고 예측하였고, 폴리곤(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>) 기반 예측 플랫폼 폴리마켓은 2월 계란 가격에 대한 <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/price-of-dozen-eggs-in-february?tid=1739374205612">예측 시장</a>까지 운영하고 있다. 가격이 5.50달러에서 5.75달러 사이일 확률이 25%로 가장 높다.

미국의 계란(달걀) 가격이 주로 조류 독감으로 상업용 가금류가 큰 피해를 입었기 때문 지난 1년 동안 60% 상승했다. 전문가들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/43117087/bird-flu-update-first-commercial-case-in-georgia-moderna-receives-590-million-to-develop-vaccine" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">가격이 계속 상승할 것</a>으로 보고 있는 이유를 살펴보겠다.
상세 내용: 대형 A급 달걀 1판의 평균 가격이 지난 1년 동안 60% 상승해 12월에는 4.15달러에 달했다. 이는 <a href="https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/APU0000708111">노동통계국</a>의 데이터에 따른 것입니다. 미 농무부(USDA)는 H5N1이라는 조류 독감 바이러스 변종이 12월에 1,320만 마리의 상업용 산란용 닭을 죽여서 2025년까지 달걀 가격이 추가로 45% 상승할 것이라고 예측하고 있다.

기록적인 고가 외에도 소비자들은 주요 소매업체인 코스트코 홀세일(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>)과 앨버트슨스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>)에서 달걀 부족과 구매 제한에 직면하고 있다.
미국 농무부의 데이터에 따르면 조류 독감으로 인해 지난 분기 동안 2천만 마리 이상의 산란 닭이 사망한 기록이 있다.
이 바이러스를 차단하기 위한 노력의 일환으로, 농부들은 파괴된 닭과 달걀에 대해 USDA 프로그램을 통해 보상을 받는다. CBS 뉴스 <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/egg-industry-chicken-deaths-bird-flu/">보도</a>에 따르면, 2022년 발병 이후 농부들에게 12억 5천만 달러가 지급되었다.
실제로 달걀 생산자들은 최근 조류 독감 발병 중에 기록적인 수익을 보고하고 있다. 칼메인 푸즈(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NYSE">CALM</a>), 미국 최대의 달걀 생산업체는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/42862269/cal-maine-foods-stock-climbs-after-strong-q2-results-eps-beat-revenues-beat">최근 분기 매출이 9억 5천 4백만 달러</a>로, 7억 5천 1백 49만 달러라는 컨센서스 추정치를 크게 웃돌았다고 보고했다.
이 회사는 조류 독감 발병으로 인한 공급 제한이 매출 증가의 일부 원인이라고 설명했다. 칼메인 푸즈의 주가는 지난 6개월 동안 75% 이상 상승했다.
텔시 어드바이저리 그룹의 애널리스트 사랑 보라(Sarang Vora)는 이번 주에 바이탈 팜스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VITL#NASDAQ">VITL</a>), 풀밭에서 기른 달걀을 전문으로 하는 중소 생산업체에 대한 분석을 시작했다. 보라는 이 회사의 매출이 연평균 19%에서 20% 성장하여 2027년에는 10억 달러에 이를 것으로 보고했다. 이는 2024년 6억 달러에 비해 증가한 수치이다.
이번 주, 로즈 에이커 팜스(Rose Acre Farms), 미국에서 두 번째로 큰 달걀 생산업체가 조류 독감 양성 반응을 보인 닭을 확인하여 달걀 가격과 부족 기간이 연장될 가능성을 높였다.

미국에서 계란 가격이 다시 통제 불능 상태로 치닫고 있다. 11월 &#8220;신선용 계란&#8221; 생산자 물가 지수(PPI)가 전월 대비 55.6%, 전년 대비 무려 80.2% 급등했다고 목요일에 발표된 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42467265/stocks-fall-as-producer-inflation-spikes-jobless-claims-jump-what-is-happening-here" target="_blank" rel="noopener">공식 데이터</a>에 따르면 나타났다.
노동통계국은 이 단일 품목의 가격 상승이 11월 최종 수요 재화 가격 상승의 거의 4분의 1을 차지했다고 강조했다.
소비자들이 지역 식료품점에서 이러한 생산자 가격 인상의 영향을 곧 느끼게 될 수 있지만, 소매 가격 상승은 계란 생산자들에게 더 강한 이익률로 이어질 수 있다. 투자자들은 이 사실을 간과하지 않았다.
미국의 주요 계란 생산업체인 칼 메인 푸드(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NASDAQ">CALM</a>) 주식은 목요일에 사상 최고가로 치솟으며 5일 연속 상승세를 이어갔다. 올해 들어 CALM의 주가는 86.82% 급등하여, S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 12월 12일 기준으로 28% 상승한 것과 비교해 훨씬 높은 상승률을 기록했다.
한편, 작은 경쟁사인 바이탈 팜스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VITAL#NASDAQ">VITAL</a>)의 주가는 올해 들어 135.76%로 더욱 큰 폭으로 상승했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">차트: 계란 관련 주식들이 2024년 미국 주식 시장을 압도</h3>
<img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12150125/image-107-1024x475.png?optimize=medium&amp;dpr=1.25&amp;auto=webp&amp;width=2048" />
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">왜 곧 식료품점에서 계란 가격이 더 비싸질까?</h3>
생산자 비용이 상승하면, 소비자들도 곧 그 영향을 느끼게 된다.
생산자 물가 지수(PPI)는 생산자들이 자사 상품에 대해 받는 가격 변화를 추적하며, 일반적으로 소비자 물가 지수(CPI)—소비자들이 지불하는 가격을 측정하는 지표—에 대한 선행 지표 역할을 한다.
11월, CPI는 미국에서 1판 A급 대란 계란 가격이 평균 $3.64로 작년 대비 70.7% 급등했다고 나타났다. 그러나 이는 2023년 1월의 사상 최고가인 $4.82와 비교하면 미미한 수치로, 그 당시 연간 증가율은 전례 없는 150%에 달했다.
소비자 계란 가격의 이러한 대폭 상승은 생산자 비용이 지속적으로 상승한 후 나타난 결과이다.
2022년 9월부터 12월까지, 계란에 대한 PPI 지수는 매달 16.6%, 15%, 26% 및 24.5%의 상승률을 보였고, 연간 증가율은 연말까지 200%를 넘었다.
현재 유사한 패턴이 전개될 수 있으며, 이는 향후 몇 달 동안 식료품점 가격이 더욱 급등할 것을 예고한다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">계란 가격 상승의 원인은 무엇인가?</h3>
이러한 계란 가격 급등은 조류 인플루엔자(조류 독감)의 파괴적인 영향, 계절적 수요 및 생산 비용 상승 등 여러 요인이 복합적으로 작용한 결과이다.
<ol>
<li>조류 독감 발생: 
미국 가금류 산업은 조류 독감의 지속적인 발생으로 수백만 마리의 산란 닭이 도태되는 상황에 직면해 있다. 감소된 사육 규모는 공급 부족을 초래하여 가격을 상승시키고 있다.</li>
<li>계절적 수요: 
휴일 시즌에는 베이킹과 요리 증가로 계란 소비가 보통 상승한다. 계란은 고기보다 상대적으로 저렴한 단백질 대안으로 여겨져 가격이 상승하더라도 수요가 강하게 유지된다.</li>
<li>생산 비용: 
사료와 운송 비용 상승은 생산자에게 압박을 가하여 도매 계란 가격을 더욱 인상시키고 있다.</li>
</ol>
이러한 복합적인 요인들이 계란 시장에 완벽한 폭풍을 일으켜 최근 생산자 및 소비자 가격의 급등을 초래했다.
현재 계란 가격의 추세는 2022년 말과 매우 유사하며, 그 당시 생산자 비용이 몇 달간 연속적으로 급등한 후 2023년 1월에 소비자 가격이 정점을 찍었다. 당시 소매 가격은 기록을 깨뜨렸고, 일부 식료품점 선반에서는 품절 사태가 발생하기도 했다.
역사가 반복된다면, 미국 소비자들에게는 최악의 상황이 아직 발생하지 않은 것일 수 있다.

애큐티 브랜즈, 칼-메인 푸즈 그리고 수요일 주목해야 할 3가지 주식

칼 메인 푸즈(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NASDAQ">CALM</a>)가 화요일 시장 마감 후 4분기 재무 결과를 발표했다. 이 링크를 클릭하여 주요 포인트들에 대한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/04/b38056887/cal-maine-foods-reports-results-for-third-quarter-fiscal-2024">결과를 보자.</a>
주요 정보: 칼 메인 푸즈는 주당 3.00 달러의 분기 이익을 발표했는데, 이는 분석가 평균 예상치인 주당 2.46달러를 21.95% 초과했다.
분기별 매출은 7억 308만 달러로 분석가 컨센서스 추정치인 6억 9,235만 달러를 1.55% 상회했으며, 이는 전년 동기 대비 매출 9억 9,749만 달러보다 29.52% 감소한 수치이다.
또한 회사는 텍사스주 팔머 카운티에 있는 시설 중 하나에서 고병원성 조류 인플루엔자(HPAI) 양성 반응이 나와 약 160만 마리의 산란계와 337,000마리의 어린 암탉이 감소했다고 보고했다. 이는 3월 2일 현재 전체 무리의 약 3.6%에 해당한다.
해당 시설의 생산은 미국 농무부(USDA)에서 규정한 프로토콜을 따라 임시로 중단되었다.
칼 메인 푸즈는 이제 피해 고객들에게 최소한의 혼란을 줄이기 위해 다른 시설에서의 생산을 확보하고 있다고 밝혔다.
칼 메인 푸즈의 최고경영자(CEO)인 셔먼 밀러(Sherman Miller)는 &#8220;저희는 2024 회계연도 제 3분기 칼 메인 푸즈의 강력한 재정 실적과 운영 성과에 대해 매우 만족스러운 대목을 보였습니다. 저희의 매출은 평균 판매 가격이 지난해에 비해 낮다는 점을 반영하고 있는데, 이는 주로 고병원성 조류 독감(HPAI)의 영향과 공급의 현저한 감소를 초래한 기타 시장 요인으로 인한 것입니다,&#8221;라고 밝혔다.
&#8220;최근 고병원성 조류 독감의 발병으로 인해 공급이 감소하고 시장 가격이 상승한 점은 어쩔 수 없지만, 최종 시장 영향은 그리 심각하지 않을 것으로 예상됩니다. 강력한 수요의 영향으로 이번 분기 동안 저희의 총 매출량은 2023 회계연도 제 3분기보다 높았으며, 회사의 기록을 갱신했습니다,&#8221;라고 밀러가 덧붙였다.
