Over the past six months, The Clorox Co.'s stock price underperformed the S&P 500 Index by -33.99% and the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF, experiencing a 31.80% decline over the past year and reaching a 52-week low of $82.51 on September 21, 2026. Key factors impacting the stock include weak organic sales, margin compression, and a cautious analyst outlook. The company also faced pressure from its ERP system transition, which led to U.S. retailers front-loading orders in fiscal year 2025 and subsequently drawing down inventory in fiscal year 2026, negatively affecting year-over-year results. The acquisition of GOJO Industries, Inc. in April 2026 also contributed to an inventory step-up. Clorox declared regular quarterly dividends of $1.24 per share in February and May 2026, and $1.25 per share in August 2026.
