  • Is It Time to Reconsider Clorox (CLX) After a Multiyear Slump?
    January 17, 2026, 11:22 PM EST. Clorox (CLX) trades near $109.98 after a rough stretch; the stock is down 28.8% in the last year and 36.4% over five years. In the week it rose about 3.6%, and over 30 days about 8.3%. The backdrop: changing consumer habits and cost pressures weighing on cash flow. Our valuation framework scores Clorox 3 of 6. Approach 1, a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, puts intrinsic value at about $213.43 per share, implying a roughly 48.5% discount to the current price.
