Traders should monitor upcoming shareholder votes and Mexican antitrust developments as next catalysts. While U.S. antitrust clearance reduces regulatory risk, litigation over disclosures and foreign approval create uncertainty. The stock may react to any delays or further legal challenges.

Executive Summary
Calavo Growers announced the expiration of the Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust waiting period for its merger with Mission Produce, clearing a key regulatory hurdle. The deal still requires shareholder approvals from both companies and antitrust clearance in Mexico, with closing expected in the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2026. This follows prior disclosures and a supplemental filing to address two shareholder lawsuits alleging inadequate disclosure.
