The Clorox Company

The Clorox Company

The Clorox Company (CLX) is a US-based maker of household and consumer products, known for brands such as Clorox, Pine-Sol, Brita and Hidden Valley. With a market capitalisation of about $14.6 billion, Clorox operates in the consumer staples sector where demand for everyday cleaning, health and food items can be relatively resilient. Investors should note its mix of steady cash generation, branded pricing power and a history of paying dividends, balanced against exposure to commodity costs, retail concentration and shifting consumer preferences. Margins can be sensitive to raw material and transportation costs, while growth often depends on innovation, marketing and occasional pricing actions. This summary is for general educational purposes only and is not personal financial advice. Investments can fall as well as rise; whether Clorox fits your portfolio depends on your objectives and risk tolerance. Consider seeking independent financial advice before investing.
