Today's Bonus Story Whirlpool's Worst May Be Over—Upside Opportunity AheadWritten by Thomas Hughes. Published 11/17/2025. 
Key Points - Whirlpool's 2026 outlook has its stock price tracking for a reversal that could add 25% to 100% to its stock price within a few quarters.
- The high-yielding dividend is reliable following management's right-sizing.
- Institutional and analyst trends suggest a robust upside for income investors.
Whirlpool's (NYSE: WHR) downtrend may not be finished, but technical, fundamental, and market signals are converging to suggest downside is limited while upside potential is meaningful. Across daily, weekly and monthly timeframes, the chart shows a market that has been trending lower yet is deeply oversold and overextended — positioned for a rebound supported by improving operational quality and renewed sell-side interest. Whirlpool's Market Is Deeply Oversold: Market Recovery Ahead Less than 0.2% of investors know this market exists...

Daily candlesticks point to a recent catalyst: 13F filings revealed that David Tepper's Appaloosa Management significantly increased its stake, signaling heightened confidence in the position. Appaloosa, known for a high-risk, high-reward approach, added about 5.5 million shares and now owns nearly 10% of the company. While not a designated principal shareholder, that holding gives Appaloosa meaningful influence; Whirlpool is expected to begin rebounding in fiscal 2026. On the chart, the announcement sparked roughly a 6% intraday move, indicating buyers at a critical level. Those levels are roughly in line with the 2020 lows during the COVID-19 sell-off. This could be an early sign that the tide is turning for Whirlpool. Headwinds remain, but the company expects tariff pressures to ease in 2026, and analysts generally forecast substantial margin improvement.  Analysts project F2026 revenue to be roughly flat year-over-year, with earnings rising about 8%. Longer-term forecasts are more constructive, with revenue growth expected to resume in fiscal 2027; current estimates may be conservative. The outlook for rate cuts has cooled, but the FOMC is still widely expected to cut rates by 50–100 basis points by mid‑next year, with further easing possible by the end of 2026. As rates and housing activity normalize, demand should pick up and help underpin Whirlpool's performance — the company is well-positioned thanks to a largely domestic supply chain. Whirlpool's Insider, Institutional, and Analysts Trends Hang in the Balance Sell-side trends point to value with risks. Insiders haven't traded in 2025 — neither a strong buy signal nor a red flag — but they collectively own more than 2% of the stock, a meaningful stake given Whirlpool's roughly $4 billion market cap as of mid‑November, and they are not selling. Institutions trimmed some positions in early Q4 but have been net buyers in 2025; institutional ownership now exceeds 90%, which provides important market support. Analyst sentiment is mixed. MarketBeat's consensus is Reduce, but of nine tracked analysts four rate Hold and two rate Buy. Recent price‑target revisions have been both up and down, yet there is visible confidence in roughly 25% upside and the potential for near‑term catalysts. If operational quality improves over coming quarters and the business outlook brightens, analyst sentiment is likely to follow, which would lift the stock. In that scenario WHR could first rally around 25% and retain further upside as the recovery broadens. Whirlpool's Biggest Risk Is Priced in and in the Rearview Mirror The most significant near‑term risk was a dividend cut — a move that has already occurred. Today the yield remains above 5% (as of November) and the payout appears manageable. Growing debt warrants attention, but improved cash management and expected margin expansion help mitigate that concern.
