Bottles of Clorox bleach are displayed for sale on the shelves of a Wal-Mart store in Rogers, Arkansas, June 4, 2009.
Shares in Clorox last traded at $121.16 after earlier hitting a low of $119.56 and were eying their biggest one-day percentage loss since Feb. 2022.
After this, Evercore ISI slashed its Clorox price target to $120 from $160 and Raymond James downgraded it to 'market perform' from 'outperform'.
Bank of America cut its price target to $120 from $145 while Deutsche Bank dropped its target to $136 from $155.
But, Evercore ISI analyst Javier Escalante who rates Clorox 'underperform,' voiced concerns about how long the company took to work out the financial impact.
