We're waiting for CLX's earnings report next week. More information about the stock:

Clorox Company (CLX) is ready to report earnings on August 03. Here's a few things you should know about before they make the announcement.

Analyst opinions suggest Clorox Company will report an EPS (earnings per share) of 
$0.93, EPS GAAP Estimate $0.77, Revenue Estimate $1.86B on Wednesday.

If you're a bull you'll primarily care about two things. The first is that the reported EPS beat analysts estimates. The stock should move on just that news alone. The second is that the report paints a vivid picture of how the company will grow in the coming quarters. EPS beat and and growth story, those are the things to watch.

On the other side of the fence, CLX bears will be looking for the opposite. They want the EPS to underperform analysts' expectations and to be strong a signal of the company's decline in coming quarters.

Whether you're a bear or bull you'll want to be aware that occasionally a stock's price movement is caused by the analysts' estimates, rather than from the earnings report itself. As you see more of these, you'll begin to notice patterns in the runup and rundown of the stock's price.

Share price moves can have an impact on existing shareholder sentiment. As of July 26 shares of CLX are trading at $146.59. Over the last 52-week period, the price is down -19.79%.
