Clorox reports flat revenue and management is cutting earnings forecasts in an inflationary environment, signaling declining unit sales. Consumer staples usually hold up in inflation, but here the core business is shrinking – a classic profit margin squeeze and volume loss. If the average consumer is pulling back, non-discretionary staples like Clorox can still underperform, making a short/bearish stance sensible while the broader market rallies. Inflation could allow pricing power to offset volume; a geopolitical shift might boost demand for cleaning products; short squeezes on a stable dividend stock.
