Clorox Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLX#NYSE">CLX</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43450398/clorox-stock-slides-on-q2-earnings">second-quarter</a> earnings and revenue exceeded expectations, however, its net sales declined 15% annually. The management reinstated confidence in its fourth-quarter forecast expecting mid-to-high-single-digit growth in organic sales driven by the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation.
What Happened: ERP refers to a software system upgrade that Clorox is implementing to modernize its core business processes, including supply chain, finance, and other operational areas. The transition is expected to be completed in phases over six months.
During its earnings call the company CEO Linda Rendle said, &#8220;ERP transition is a very important step in our digital transformation, continuing to ensure that we have data and can move at the right speed with the right capabilities to enable the growth and productivity that we&#8217;re driving.&#8221;
While the company guided its third-quarter organic sales to be up low-single digits, with an impact from divestitures and forex, CFO Kevin Jacobsen said, &#8220;The ERP transition will add 1 to 2 points of growth over the course of the year, it&#8217;s all going to happen in Q4.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Clorox exceeded analysts&#8217; expectations, reporting revenue of $1.69 billion and adjusted earnings of $1.55 per share. Despite a 15% decline in year-over-year net sales, the company improved its gross margin to 43.8% and increased operating cash flow to $401 million.
Clorox anticipates being at the higher end of its 11-13% free cash flow target as a percentage of sales before the ERP impact. The ERP implementation will likely bring it closer to the low end of the range due to inventory build and pre-paying suppliers.
Price Action: Shares of Clorox rose 0.69% to end Monday at $159.78 apiece. The exchange-traded fund tracking the S&amp;P 500 index, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) declined 0.67% to $597.77 on Monday.
The average price target among 22 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CLX/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a> is $151.4 with a ‘sell' rating. The estimates range from $120 to $187 apiece. Recent ratings from RBC Capital, Barclays, and JP Morgan suggest a $150.33 target, implying a potential downside of 3.34%.

Clorox Stock Slides On Q2 Earnings

Clorox Says Operating Environment Remains Challenging; Closely Watching Additional Risks In Inflation And Tariffs

Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook
This fiscal year 2025 outlook does not include any potential impact from tariffs.
The company is&nbsp;updating the following elements of its fiscal year 2025 outlook:
<ul>
<li>The company now expects net sales to be down 1% to up 2%, including 1 to 2 points of benefit from incremental shipments related to the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) transition, which is expected to reverse in the front half of the next fiscal year. Organic sales are now expected to be up 4% to up 7%, excluding about 2 points of negative impact from the divestiture of the company's business in Argentina and about 3 points of negative impact from the divestiture of the VMS business. Excluding the incremental shipments related to the ERP transition, the company continues to expect organic sales to be up 3% to 5%.</li>
<li>Gross margin is now expected to be up 125 to 150 basis points, primarily due to the benefits of holistic margin management efforts, partially offset by cost inflation and higher trade promotion spending. This compares to the previous expectation of 100 to 150 basis points.</li>
<li>The company's effective tax rate is now expected to be about 26%. Excluding the impact of the VMS sale, the company expects its fiscal year adjusted effective tax rate to be about 23%.</li>
<li>Fiscal year diluted EPS is now expected to be between $5.52 and $5.92 versus previously $5.17 and $5.42, a year over year increase of 145% to 163%, respectively, reflecting the lapping of several one-time charges recorded in the year-ago period. This includes the profit from incremental shipments related to the ERP transition of 25 cents to 45 cents, which is expected to reverse in the front half of fiscal year 2026.</li>
<li>Adjusted EPS is now expected to be between $6.95 and $7.35 compared to the previous estimate of $6.65 and $6.90, a year over year increase of 13% to 19%, respectively. The main change is to reflect a 25 to 45 cent net benefit from the expected incremental shipments related to the company's ERP transition. Aside from this change, adjusted EPS also assumes lower input costs and a lower tax rate as compared to the previous outlook. Adjusted EPS excludes about 70 cents of expense from long-term strategic investments in digital capabilities and productivity enhancements, a 94 cent charge in the first quarter from the loss on sale related to the divestiture of the VMS business, and a 21 cent benefit from cyberattack insurance recoveries in the first half of this fiscal year.</li>
</ul>
The company is confirming the following elements of its fiscal year 2025 outlook:
<ul>
<li>Selling and administrative expenses continue to be expected to be between 15% to 16% of net sales, which includes about 150 basis points of impact from the company's strategic investments in digital capabilities and productivity enhancements.</li>
<li>Advertising and sales promotion spending is still expected to be 11% to 11.5% of net sales, reflecting the company's ongoing commitment to invest behind its brands.</li>

Clorox Q2 Adj $1.55 Beats $1.41 Estimate, Sales $1.69B Beat $1.63B Estimate

Wall Street bounced back after President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to a one-month suspension of tariffs following Mexico's pledge to bolster its military presence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43440692/us-mexico-agrees-on-one-month-tariffs-pause-stocks-rebound-peso-rallies">at the northern border.</a>
Earlier on Monday, markets had been rattled by Trump&#8217;s announcement of sweeping tariffs — 25% on all imports from Mexico and Canada and 10% on Chinese goods. The prospect of escalating trade tensions led to sharp early session declines.
The temporary tariff reprieve on Mexico has fueled speculation that Trump may be using tariffs as a negotiation tool rather than a definitive policy, potentially easing concerns they will remain in place if U.S. demands — centered on immigration and drug trafficking — are met.
Trump is set to speak with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at 3 p.m. ET.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 were down 0.8%, trimming earlier losses, while the Dow nearly erased its decline entirely, reflecting renewed investor confidence in industrial and less tech-sensitive stocks.
Some of the Magnificent Seven stocks remained under pressure. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) all faced sharp declines, by 6%, 4% and 3.8% respectively, amid concerns over worsening trade relations with China and the risk of retaliatory measures from Beijing.
In fixed income, long-term Treasury yields edged lower, while the U.S. dollar trimmed its early session gains. The Mexican peso rebounded sharply, rising over 1% by 12:30 p.m. ET, recovering from overnight losses of up to 2%.
Commodity markets experienced turbulence. Natural gas prices soared 11% on Monday, surpassing $3 per million British thermal units, while oil climbed 0.8%.
Safe-haven demand remained strong, with gold rallying 0.8% to a record high of over $2,810 per ounce.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged back to $99,000 following news of the U.S. pause on Mexico tariffs.

Clorox Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

U.S. stock futures dropped sharply on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on three of its major trade partners, Canada, China, and Mexico.
The new tariffs will begin Tuesday, with a 10% levy on China and a 25% levy on a few Canadian and Mexican imports, each. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce warns of supply chain disruptions and higher family costs, citing concerns over trade with Mexico worth $46 billion in agricultural products, and Canada valued at $97 billion in energy supplied.
The U.S. dollar index strengthened over 1% following this announcement.
All major index futures were down, with the Russell 2000 falling more than 2%. This drop comes after the indices had posted gains for three consecutive weeks.
Companies reporting earnings this week include Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Google parent Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Palantir Technologies Inc.

The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.54%, while the two-year yield was at 4.27%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is an 86.5% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for the March meeting.

Insights From Analysts
The newly issued tariffs as highlighted by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will be used to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. It will also be used to raise revenues to help pay for extending Trump&#8217;s 2017 tax cuts and as a lever to negotiate with other countries as an alternative to sanctions.
However, Ed Yardeni and Eric Wallerstein in their QuickTakes note mentioned that &#8220;During Trump 1.0, tariff hikes by the U.S. seem to have depressed merchandise imports in 2018 and 2019. But they also depressed U.S. exports because global economic growth was weakened by trade tensions.&#8221;
Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research highlighted in an X post that February is historically the worst month during a post-election year.

He added that the S&amp;P 500 has been up eight of the past nine quarters. &#8220;One of these days it&#8217;ll fall and that is perfectly normal.&#8221;
According to Ivan Martchev, investment strategist at Navellier &amp; Associates, &#8220;Seasonality is not a promise.&#8221;
Martchev highlighted that December was supposed to be strong, but it turned out to be weak. He added that since 1928, September has been the weakest seasonal month, but last year only the first week was down while the rest of the month was strong.
&#8220;So as we approach February which is weak over the long term, we must remember that seasonality is a guideline, but it can deviate widely each year,&#8221; he added.

Tyson Foods, Clorox And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Monday

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Neutral&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Friday, with the Dow Jones index falling more than 300 points during the session after the White House confirmed that new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China would take effect on Saturday, escalating trade tensions with the country&#8217;s three largest suppliers.
Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) reported better-than-expected first-quarter financial results after the market closed on Thursday. Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) reported stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings.
On the economic data front, U.S. personal income increased 0.4% month-over-month in December compared to a 0.3% gain in November. Personal spending climbed by 0.7% month-over-month to an annualized rate of $20.387 trillion in December. The core PCE price index in the US increased by 0.2% from the previous month for December.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with energy, information technology, and materials stocks recording losses on Friday. However, communication services and consumer discretionary stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
The Dow Jones closed lower by around 337 points to 44,544.66 on Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.50% to 6,040.53, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.28% at 19,627.44 during Friday's session.
