Clorox Company stock holds near $105.70, while its board lifted the quarterly dividend to $1.25 per share on July 31, 2026. The same market snapshot shows a market cap of $12.78 billion, a 52-week range of $84.70 to $132.03, and a recent close of $105.85 on August 14, 2026.
Dividend and outlook
The dividend move matters because it keeps the payout streak visible at a time when the company is guiding fiscal 2027 around $6.72 billion in revenue and $4.82 in earnings per share. That backdrop also gives the stock a clearer valuation frame, with an EPS TTM reading of 6.17 and a forward-year view that remains tied to inflation pressure and consumer value-seeking behavior.
One comparison stands out: the stock is up 4.83% year to date but still sits 13.48% below the level a year earlier, according to the same quoted market view. Trading volume reached 1.94 million shares in the most recent session referenced in the snapshot.
What the numbers say
Fiscal 2026 results, reported in early August 2026, came with Q4 sales of $1.95 billion and an EPS beat of $0.02 versus expectations. The company also pointed to a fiscal 2027 free cash flow target of 11% to 13%, which helps explain why investors keep watching the payout and margin path together.
Analyst tone has been mixed in recent coverage, but the latest market summary still showed a consensus-style hold view with a target of $102.94. That keeps the shares close to the middle of the current range rather than at the top of the tape.
Cleaner, steadier brands
Clorox Company's lineup spans bleach, cleaning wipes, trash bags, and household disinfecting products, with the Clorox brand still anchoring the business. Those everyday products matter because pricing, volume, and promotion can move quickly when shoppers trade down or back up.
Stock level watch
At $105.70, the shares are still below the 52-week high of $132.03 and above the low of $84.70 as of August 14, 2026. The setup leaves investors focused on whether the fiscal 2027 guidance can support a steadier rerating from here.
