Now is the time to consider adding this dividend stock to your portfolio, but before you do, it's worth understanding why Clorox is so far from its highs.
The pain at Clorox actually started as a positive. During the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, when consumers had a heightened focus on cleaning, Clorox products were flying off the shelves. In fact, the company was having a hard time keeping up with demand. It even brought in high-cost contract manufacturers to ensure it could produce enough to keep retailers' shelves full.
