The Clorox Company is seeing lower profits and sales volumes, but I see these as transitory setbacks.

Clorox suffered after the pandemic with slowing sales and a painful transition to a new CRM system. The drop has made the dividend yield and valuation increasingly compelling.

Jenny Harrington, CEO of Gilman Hill Asset Management, told CNBC she is buying Clorox now, arguing the stock looks undervalued relative to its long‑term history. Consumer staples have been the worst‑performing sector in the S&P 500 this month, but Harrington said the pullback is creating an attractive entry point.
