Wall Street bounced back after President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to a one-month suspension of tariffs following Mexico's pledge to bolster its military presence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43440692/us-mexico-agrees-on-one-month-tariffs-pause-stocks-rebound-peso-rallies">at the northern border.</a>
Earlier on Monday, markets had been rattled by Trump&#8217;s announcement of sweeping tariffs — 25% on all imports from Mexico and Canada and 10% on Chinese goods. The prospect of escalating trade tensions led to sharp early session declines.
The temporary tariff reprieve on Mexico has fueled speculation that Trump may be using tariffs as a negotiation tool rather than a definitive policy, potentially easing concerns they will remain in place if U.S. demands — centered on immigration and drug trafficking — are met.
Trump is set to speak with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at 3 p.m. ET.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 were down 0.8%, trimming earlier losses, while the Dow nearly erased its decline entirely, reflecting renewed investor confidence in industrial and less tech-sensitive stocks.
Some of the Magnificent Seven stocks remained under pressure. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) all faced sharp declines, by 6%, 4% and 3.8% respectively, amid concerns over worsening trade relations with China and the risk of retaliatory measures from Beijing.
In fixed income, long-term Treasury yields edged lower, while the U.S. dollar trimmed its early session gains. The Mexican peso rebounded sharply, rising over 1% by 12:30 p.m. ET, recovering from overnight losses of up to 2%.
Commodity markets experienced turbulence. Natural gas prices soared 11% on Monday, surpassing $3 per million British thermal units, while oil climbed 0.8%.
Safe-haven demand remained strong, with gold rallying 0.8% to a record high of over $2,810 per ounce.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged back to $99,000 following news of the U.S. pause on Mexico tariffs.

Clorox Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

U.S. stock futures dropped sharply on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on three of its major trade partners, Canada, China, and Mexico.
The new tariffs will begin Tuesday, with a 10% levy on China and a 25% levy on a few Canadian and Mexican imports, each. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce warns of supply chain disruptions and higher family costs, citing concerns over trade with Mexico worth $46 billion in agricultural products, and Canada valued at $97 billion in energy supplied.
The U.S. dollar index strengthened over 1% following this announcement.
All major index futures were down, with the Russell 2000 falling more than 2%. This drop comes after the indices had posted gains for three consecutive weeks.
Companies reporting earnings this week include Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Google parent Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Palantir Technologies Inc.

The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.54%, while the two-year yield was at 4.27%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is an 86.5% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for the March meeting.

Insights From Analysts
The newly issued tariffs as highlighted by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will be used to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. It will also be used to raise revenues to help pay for extending Trump&#8217;s 2017 tax cuts and as a lever to negotiate with other countries as an alternative to sanctions.
However, Ed Yardeni and Eric Wallerstein in their QuickTakes note mentioned that &#8220;During Trump 1.0, tariff hikes by the U.S. seem to have depressed merchandise imports in 2018 and 2019. But they also depressed U.S. exports because global economic growth was weakened by trade tensions.&#8221;
Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research highlighted in an X post that February is historically the worst month during a post-election year.

He added that the S&amp;P 500 has been up eight of the past nine quarters. &#8220;One of these days it&#8217;ll fall and that is perfectly normal.&#8221;
According to Ivan Martchev, investment strategist at Navellier &amp; Associates, &#8220;Seasonality is not a promise.&#8221;
Martchev highlighted that December was supposed to be strong, but it turned out to be weak. He added that since 1928, September has been the weakest seasonal month, but last year only the first week was down while the rest of the month was strong.
&#8220;So as we approach February which is weak over the long term, we must remember that seasonality is a guideline, but it can deviate widely each year,&#8221; he added.

<h3>Evaluating Clorox P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Clorox has a better P/E ratio of 54.68 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 29.17 of the Household Products industry. Ideally, one might believe that Clorox Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736885713_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

<h2>Get to Know Clorox Better</h2>
Since its inception more than 100 years ago, Clorox has grown to play in a variety of categories across the consumer products space, including cleaning supplies, laundry care, trash bags, cat litter, charcoal, food dressings, water-filtration products, and natural personal-care products. Beyond its namesake brand, the firm's portfolio includes Liquid-Plumr, Pine-Sol, S.O.S, Tilex, Kingsford, Fresh Step, Glad, Hidden Valley, KC Masterpiece, Brita, and Burt's Bees. Just less than 85% of Clorox's sales stem from its home turf.
<h3>Financial Insights: Clorox</h3>
Market Capitalization: With restricted market capitalization, the company is positioned below industry averages. This reflects a smaller scale relative to peers.
Revenue Growth: Clorox's revenue growth over a period of 3 months has been noteworthy. As of 30 September, 2024, the company achieved a revenue growth rate of approximately 27.13%. This indicates a substantial increase in the company's top-line earnings. As compared to its peers, the company achieved a growth rate higher than the average among peers in Consumer Staples sector.
Net Margin: Clorox's net margin is below industry standards, pointing towards difficulties in achieving strong profitability. With a net margin of 5.62%, the company may encounter challenges in effective cost control.
Return on Equity (ROE): Clorox's ROE excels beyond industry benchmarks, reaching 51.03%. This signifies robust financial management and efficient use of shareholder equity capital.
Return on Assets (ROA): Clorox's ROA is below industry averages, indicating potential challenges in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of 1.76%, the company may face hurdles in achieving optimal financial returns.
Debt Management: Clorox's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 48.07. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>The Basics of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analyst ratings serve as essential indicators of stock performance, provided by experts in banking and financial systems. These specialists diligently analyze company financial statements, participate in conference calls, and engage with insiders to generate quarterly ratings for individual stocks.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.
