Clorox stock closed at USD 84.86 on the NYSE on September 17, 2026, down 0.3 percent from the prior session. The shares set a new 12-month low intraday, underscoring ongoing pressure on the name compared with the broader US equity market.
September 17, 2026 in numbers
The Clorox Co. (ISIN US1890541097, NYSE: CLX) traded between an intraday low of USD 84.65 and a last trade around USD 84.97 on September 17, 2026, before settling at a prior close of USD 84.86, according to price data cited by MarketBeat. As MarketBeat reported on September 17, 2026, the stock hit a new 12-month low at USD 84.65 during the session, with around 254,000 shares changing hands, slightly below typical daily volume.
This move left Clorox shares trading near the bottom of their 12-month range, contrasting with gains in major US indices over recent sessions. The brief mid-day recovery toward USD 84.97 did not hold into the close, keeping the stock anchored close to its fresh low. Against the backdrop of a firmer S&P 500 in recent days, the underperformance highlights continued investor caution around the company and its sector exposure.
Today’s session outlook
Heading into today’s US session on September 18, 2026, Clorox faces the open without a newly announced company-specific catalyst in the latest week. Recent US market strength, including gains in the S&P 500 described by Economic Times, may provide a broader risk backdrop for consumer staples names such as Clorox. With no earnings release or major corporate event confirmed for today and the next few trading days in the available calendars, the stock is set to trade mainly on broader market sentiment and any sector news ahead of and after the opening bell.
