As of the October 19, 2026 close, CLX finished 8.19% below its 150-day moving average ($94.86) and 12.12% below its 200-day moving average ($99.10). This snapshot is end-of-day data shown with a five-trading-day delay on the free plan; Premium members see readings from the latest close.
Is CLX overbought or oversold?
At the October 19, 2026 close, CLX's RSI(14) was 76.6, in overbought territory (above 70). The MACD histogram was positive, so short-term momentum leaned bullish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
On the balance sheet, CLX has $143.0M in cash with $5.60B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Free cash flow comes in at $110.4M, providing flexibility for reinvestment, buybacks, or dividends. Consistent free cash flow generation is often considered a sign of operational health. ROE of 163.8% points to exceptionally high capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. An ROA of 8.3% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $7.39B (2023) to $6.72B (2026).
The relatively low beta of 0.57 suggests CLX is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. Debt significantly exceeds cash reserves, which means the company's financial flexibility could be constrained during economic downturns. No single metric tells the full story. Reviewing CLX's risk profile alongside its fundamentals and technical indicators provides a more complete picture.
