Clorox: Reviving From Cyberattack; Initiate With 'Buy'
Summary I am initiating a 'Buy' rating for Clorox with a fair value of $153 per share, driven by strong brand equity and IT modernization efforts. Clorox's ERP upgrade and IT investments are expected to drive future growth, despite near-term costs and recent cyberattack impacts. Clorox anticipates 3%-5% organic revenue growth and 13%-19% adjusted EPS growth in FY25, supported by new ERP system rollout and cost management. Key risks include Walmart's pricing power, potential consumer shift to private labels, and tariff exposure, though mitigated by supply chain adjustments.
