Clorox recently increased its quarterly dividend from $1.24 to $1.25 per share, continuing a decades-long streak of annual raises. However, the company faces challenges including a 33% stock price drop over the past year, declining earnings, and a heavy debt load after acquisitions. Its payout ratio is elevated at around 85%, higher than peers like Procter & Gamble. Management expects fiscal 2027 to be a recovery year with modest earnings growth and margin improvement, but dividend sustainability depends on meeting these targets and improving cash flow. Investors should watch for margin and cash flow trends to assess if the dividend hike can be maintained.
Clorox trades at USD 83.49 on Pluang as of Sep 28, 2026 19:11 WIB, down 0.37% for the day. The stock's dividend yield stands at 5.97%, reflecting its ongoing commitment to payouts despite recent earnings challenges. Its market cap is $10.13 billion, with a 52-week low near current prices at $81.80, showing the stock remains near its yearly bottom.
