Whirlpool Corp. (ISIN US9633201069) was last at USD 30.31 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, down 0.56 percent from the prior close. The latest quarterly picture showed an adjusted loss of USD 0.21 per share, while revenue fell 6.8 percent year over year to USD 3.52 billion, according to MarketBeat in its September 11, 2026 report.

Second quarter misses expectations

Whirlpool's second-quarter revenue reached USD 3.52 billion, below the USD 3.55 billion analyst estimate cited by MarketBeat. The adjusted EPS loss of USD 0.21 also missed the USD 0.06 consensus loss by USD 0.15, making earnings the sharper pressure point than sales.

The financial data for Q2 2026 show a different result under GAAP: net income attributable to common shareholders was USD 88 million, or diluted EPS of USD 1.15, on USD 3.517 billion of revenue. Operating profit was USD 163 million, while operating cash flow was negative USD 120 million in the quarter.

Analysts keep a Reduce view

Bank of America cut its Whirlpool price target from USD 38.00 to USD 31.00 on September 11, 2026, and maintained an Underperform rating, according to MarketBeat. The move contrasts with the broader 12-analyst consensus, which carries a Reduce rating, eight Hold ratings, three Sell ratings and one Buy rating.

The average 12-month target is USD 45.44, with a high of USD 93.00 and a low of USD 31.00, according to MarketBeat. That spread shows why the stock's weak operating result and the potential for a recovery remain sharply contested by analysts.

Brands remain the operating base

Whirlpool manufactures and markets home appliances across laundry, refrigeration, cooking and dishwashing, with brands including Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir and Amana. The company describes its purpose as improving life at home on its corporate website, which also identifies product and brand activity during August and September 2026 through Whirlpool Corporation.
