Oakland, California-based The Clorox Company (CLX) sells a variety of consumer staples products, including cleaning supplies, laundry care, water-filtration products, and personal-care items. Last week, Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) and Target Corporation (TGT) sold out of Clorox Disinfecting Wipes and all-purpose cleaner as panic buying intensified amid the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) adding these products to a list of disinfectants to protect against the spread of the coronavirus. As of March 9, 2020, Clorox stock issues a 2.41% dividend and has gained 14.79% year to date (YTD).
