Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Consensus shows a sharp YoY earnings decline (EPS $1.65 vs $2.87) and revenue softness ($1.91B vs $1.99B). Historically, CLX has sold off on disappointed guidance or weak margins even with a dividend uptick; the dividend lift may cushion but is unlikely to offset a negative earnings reaction.
