Clorox Acts On Tax Reform Excitement With Nutritional Sector Acquisition

Clorox is acquiring Nutranext, manufacturer and marketer of dietary supplement brands including Rainbow Light and Natural Vitality, a month after executives said during the firm's latest earnings briefing that US tax code change, particularly eliminating taxing income earned in foreign markets when it is transferred to the US, heightens their interest in mergers and acquisitions. Expect more from Clorox and in the broader health care space, says analysts.
