Analysis
The Clorox Company (CLX) currently trades at $105.60, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $102.23, implying the stock looks roughly 3.2% fairly valued today. We read business quality at 68/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, The Clorox Company generated revenue of $6.8B at a net margin of 11.2%. Revenue grew 0.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 54.6%. Net debt stands at $2.7B. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $61.88 (bear case) to $147.48 (bull case); at $105.60, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 17% below its 52-week high and 25% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -26% fair-value upside, at -3%, CLX screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 25 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($113.88) versus Asset-Based ($2.67). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
