9. The Clorox Company (NYSE:CLX)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 53

The Clorox Company (NYSE:CLX) is one of the top stocks that Grok recommended. On August 1, J.P. Morgan lowered its price target on The Clorox Company (NYSE:CLX) from $140 to $133, keeping its Hold rating on the stock.

Andrea Faria Teixeira from J.P. Morgan reduced the price target on CLX following Q4 FY2025 results. The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $2.87, exceeding estimates by $0.66 per share. The revenue reached almost $2 billion, surpassing the estimated $1.94 billion. The sales were mainly driven by the increased ERP shipments.

Teixeira slightly lowered the price target on CLX as the company suffered challenges from the divestiture of its Better Health Vitamins, Minerals, and Supplements business and an unfavourable price mix. The analyst holds the rating while remaining cautious as the company anticipates a transitory impact on sales and earnings in FY2026 due to the ERP system transition. Clorox projects earnings per share between $5.95-$6.30 in FY2026, which is just in line with the average consensus estimate of $6.20.
