The Clorox Company (NYSE:CLX) was mentioned as part of the game plan as Cramer remarked:

“Now, Clorox reports too. This is the kind of recession-proof stock that was going up when the rest of the market was getting hammered. But now that the market’s bouncing back, they’ve all folded with the exception of Coca-Cola and Mondelez. Use Clorox as a gauge to see if this new bull market phase remains on.”

Clorox (NYSE:CLX) manufactures and markets a diverse range of products, including items for cleaning, disinfecting, household use, personal care, food, and health supplements.

Organic sales dropped 2%, primarily impacted by an unfavorable price mix.
