WHR Stock Recent News

WHR faces significant near-term headwinds from poor consumer confidence, weak home sales, and high interest rates, impacting demand and financial performance. Recent quarterly results showed declining sales and lowered 2025 guidance, reflecting ongoing macroeconomic challenges. WHR is well-positioned to benefit from U.S. tariff policies due to its domestic production footprint, unlike many competitors.

Shares in household appliance maker Whirlpool (WHR 6.50%) have risen by 6.5% as of midday today. The move comes after a high-profile speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell gave support to the idea that a rate cut is coming.

Buying and holding stocks with a long-term horizon takes the pressure off quarterly results and shifts the focus to a structured investment thesis. An investment thesis removes emotion -- serving as a reminder for why you bought a stock in the first place.

Some positive things are going Whirlpool's (WHR 1.00%) way of late. The home appliance maker looks set to be a net winner over the long term from the Trump administration's recent tariff actions.

Domestic appliance maker Whirlpool (WHR -1.83%) is one of the most perplexing stocks on the market. Its stock declined 18.1% in July, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, dragged down by a disappointing second-quarter earnings report.

The Fed's likely rate cuts, spurred by weak jobs data, create a favorable environment for dividend stocks poised to benefit from lower interest rates. Whirlpool is deeply undervalued, with pent-up appliance demand likely to surge as mortgage rates fall and the housing market thaws. One Liberty Properties offers an 8% yield, high insider ownership, and strong dividend coverage, making it compelling if rates decline.

It's always tempting to buy stocks on a dip. Coincidentally, two high-yielding stocks, Whirlpool (WHR -0.45%) and United Parcel Service (UPS -1.86%), both gave earnings reports on the same day recently, and both stocks declined by double-digit percentages on the day.
