Why the Clorox Weekly Options Trade was Originally Executed!

Clorox Co (NYSE: CLX) raised its annual targets on Thursday, after easily beating quarterly earnings expectations, as the bleach maker replenished inventory at a faster pace after a production blip in 2023, putting it back on track to meet robust demand.

The company's shares jumped about 8% in extended trading; after it said it was rebuilding retailer inventories ahead of schedule and recouping market share losses, bouncing back from a cyberattack in August that hampered its ability to fulfill orders.

"We made a lot more progress, more quickly than we anticipated... we lost less sales (in the quarter) because we had product back in retailer stores more quickly," CFO Kevin Jacobsen said in an interview.

At the height of the cyberattack, Clorox lost over five market share points, but had recovered to a decline of just one point at December-end and was improving in January, he added.

Clorox's health and wellness segment, home to brands including Pine-Sol cleaning products, saw a 25% surge in sales, mainly driven by higher volumes.

That, coupled with higher prices, drove a 16% jump in the company's second-quarter sales at $1.99 billion, beating LSEG estimates of $1.80 billion.
