Whirlpool Corp. (WHR)

The company now

Whirlpool reported third-quarter 2026 net sales of $3,677 million on 26 October, down 8.8 percent from a year earlier, and a loss of $3.80 per diluted share 1.

The loss includes a $124 million write-down of its stake in Whirlpool India and a $54 million charge tied to the reorganization of Brazilian retailer Casas Bahia, a large customer there 2.

Chief executive Marc Bitzer said the pace of recovery is slower than expected, while cost cuts and pricing set a path to further improvement in 2027 1.

The company now expects net sales for the year of about $14.5 billion, a loss of $4.95 per diluted share and net debt below $4.5 billion at year end 1.

The board suspended the regular common dividend in the second quarter to strengthen the balance sheet, and a North American price increase of 7 percent takes effect in the fourth quarter 21.

Open questions are how the Casas Bahia court process ends and whether the price increases hold in a weak appliance market 1.
