On Wednesday the traders put Clorox on the radar, with investors watching for the next move by Carl Icahn.
As you may know the company, which makes cleaners, charcoal, salad dressings and other grocery store items, has rejected two take-over offers made by Icahn.
Over the summer shares have bounced around quite a bit, with Clorox never trading to $80 the billionaire’s second and higher offer made on July 20th. (The first was for $76.50 and made on July 14th.)
"The stock will (probably) sit in here and kind of drift aimlessly until we get some resolution of this matter with Mr. Icahn," says Jack Russo at Edward Jones in a Reuters interview.
What should you expect?
"Thursday will not pass without the board hearing from Carl," says trader Karen Finerman. Find out why Watch the video now!
