What's moving CLX's risk right now

Company-specific signals Clavix flags behind CLX's current grade, drawn from recent news and filings as of July 21, 2026.

Guidance · raising risk

Clorox lowered its 2026 guidance and is dealing with rising costs that could squeeze near-term profits. The upcoming fourth-quarter results are a key catalyst, if the company falls short of its revised outlook, the stock could face more pressure.

Valuation · raising risk

JPMorgan cut its Clorox price target to $92, saying the stock is likely to trail its benchmark. The cut signals reduced confidence in the near-term outlook and points to further downside from current levels.

Valuation · mixed signal

UBS raised its Clorox price target to $100, a modest bump. But the firm kept a neutral rating, saying the stock is roughly fairly valued with limited near-term upside.
