Whirlpool Corp. (US9633201069) opens Tuesday with a cautious analyst picture around its NYSE listing. The latest data show consensus ratings in the Reduce to Strong Sell range and a markedly depressed share price compared with recent years.

What recent analyst data show

On MarketBeat, Whirlpool appears with a closing price of 37.94 US dollars on the NYSE on June 29, 2026, implying a market capitalization of about 2.46 billion US dollars and a dividend yield near 9.5 percent based on current payout figures.*

The same overview cites a consensus rating of "Reduce" from 12 analysts, with an average rating score of 1.75 on a 0-4 scale, including one Buy, seven Hold and four Sell ratings, and an average price target of roughly 57.38 US dollars, or around 51 percent above the latest close.*

Zacks flags Whirlpool as a Bear of the Day

Zacks Equity Research recently highlighted Whirlpool as its Bear of the Day, pointing to a Zacks Rank of 5, which corresponds to Strong Sell in that framework, and noting that consensus EPS estimates have been revised sharply lower in recent weeks.*

In a separate Zacks Value Trader commentary, Whirlpool is mentioned among value candidates where earnings fell in 2025 and are projected to decline another roughly 59 percent in 2026 before a rebound in 2027, while the shares are described as down more than 80 percent from five-year levels, underscoring the pressure on the stock despite the high dividend yield.*

Wall Street houses stay underweight

Recent data compiled from Wall Street research reports point to large houses such as Bank of America and RBC Capital sticking to cautious views. One summary shows Bank of America cutting its Whirlpool price target from 43 to 36 US dollars with an Underperform rating and RBC trimming its target from 32 to 30 US dollars, also at Underperform, in June 2026.

Additional consensus figures presented in the same context refer to four analysts with an overall Moderate Sell stance on the stock, with targets clustered between 51 and 78 US dollars and a current reference price near 39 US dollars, reinforcing the picture of limited enthusiasm despite some implied upside from depressed levels.

How Whirlpool makes its money

Whirlpool’s business centers on large home appliances, with leading positions in laundry, refrigeration, cooking and dishwashing equipment across brands such as Whirlpool, Maytag and KitchenAid in North America and Europe.

The company generates revenue primarily from the sale of washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, ranges and dishwashers to retailers and distributors, complemented by smaller lines in microwaves and other household appliances and by aftersales service and parts.
