The Clorox Company maintained earnings guidance for the Fiscal Year 2026. For the period, the company expects net sales to be down 6% to 10%, including less than a point of negative impact from the divestiture of its VMS business and foreign exchange rate changes. Fiscal year diluted EPS is still expected to be between $5.60 and $5.95, a year-over-year decrease of 14% to 9%, respectively.
This includes the negative impact of about 90 cents related to the reversal of the impact from incremental shipments associated with the ERP transition in the prior fiscal year.
