Whirlpool: Why We Believe The Stock Is A Buy After The Q1 Results
Whirlpool faces headwinds from declining consumer confidence and tariff policy changes but shows robust performance in MDA Asia and SDA Global segments. Using a dividend discount model, WHR's fair value is estimated at $116 per share, indicating significant upside from the current price of $80. Despite macroeconomic challenges, WHR expects top-line growth and improved free cash flow in 2025.
Whirlpool: After Gaining Tariff Edge, 8.8% Dividend Is Attractive (Rating Upgrade)
Whirlpool Corporation reported solid Q1 results in a turbulent operating environment, continuing cost take out. President Trump's tariffs provide Whirlpool a cost edge against previously cost-advantaged Asian competition. Tariffs are a short-term headwind for Whirlpool, but a clear long-term tailwind. Whirlpool's 8.8% dividend should be sustained, making WHR stock attractive. While coming with significant risks, I currently estimate 60% upside to $127.6.
