On May 11, 2026, the Schall Law Firm announced it is investigating The Clorox Company for potential securities fraud violations, joining several other firms (Johnson Fistel, Bronstein Gewirtz & Grossman, Pomerantz) that have opened investigations into the same disclosures. The probes stem from Clorox's May 1 Q3 fiscal 2026 earnings release, which sent shares down 9.67% to $87.11 after the company cut its full-year gross margin outlook to a 250-300 bps decline (versus prior 50-100 bps) and cited ERP stabilization issues and higher supply chain costs. Goldman Sachs cut its price target to $83 (from $94) maintaining Sell, while Barclays cut to $85 (from $102) with Underweight.
