Clorox's Earnings Beat Fails to Lift Shares as Trading Volume Ranks 368th in 52-Week Lows

On August 28, 2025, Clorox (CLX) traded with a volume of $0.27 billion, ranking 368th among active stocks. The consumer goods giant closed below its 52-week low at $117.33, reflecting persistent market challenges despite a 29.86% earnings-per-share (EPS) beat in its latest quarter. The company reported $2.87 EPS against expectations of $2.21, while revenue reached $2 billion, exceeding forecasts by $60 million.

Clorox’s stock, currently valued at $14.36 billion, trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 18x, below its estimated fair value. The decline follows a year-long 25.35% drop in share price amid sector-wide volatility driven by shifting consumer demand and supply chain disruptions. However, the firm’s 4.17% dividend yield and 48 consecutive years of dividend growth remain key highlights for income-focused investors.

Despite outperforming financial expectations, Clorox’s shares fell 0.49% in after-hours trading to $126.18. Analysts are scrutinizing the company’s strategic adjustments and cost management efforts as potential catalysts for recovery. The mixed performance underscores the sector’s struggle to balance profitability with macroeconomic headwinds.
