Clorox Co is currently trading at $86.40, which is below the analyst price targets ranging from $85 to $100. The forward P/E ratio of 14.95 indicates potential value, but the company faces cash flow risks, having paid $452 million in dividends against only $161 million in free cash flow over nine months. Therefore, while the dividend yield is attractive at around 6%, the significant cash flow concerns and recent negative performance trends suggest a cautious approach is warranted.
