The company at the time
Clorox makes household products such as Clorox bleach and disinfecting wipes, Glad trash bags, Kingsford charcoal and Burt's Bees. When the pandemic began, demand for its cleaning products jumped, and stores struggled to keep wipes on their shelves. In the quarter it reported yesterday, sales were 27% higher than a year earlier. Many investors wonder how much of this demand will last once the pandemic fades, and the costs of materials and shipping have started to rise across the industry. The share price is about 16% higher than a year ago, and the P/E is below the company's own five-year median because profit has grown faster than the share price.
Information available at the time
The same numbers as on company pages, as they had been reported by February 5, 2021. Sector medians aren't shown because StockLab doesn't have them as they stood back then.
Revenue, growth, profit and cash flow are for fiscal year 2020 (ended June 2020), the latest full year in an annual report filed by then; cash and debt come from the latest report (its date is on the card). Results announced after that aren't in these cards yet, even if the story above mentions them, so their numbers can differ.
