# Whirlpool Corporation (WHR) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Household Durables. Price $30.13, market value $2.0 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Whirlpool Corporation reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **PEG: 0.15**. A PEG of 0.15 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.1×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.5×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 9.2×**. Enterprise value is 9.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -4.6%** (5-yr avg 8.3%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 13.1%**. Whirlpool Corporation keeps 13.1% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 2.9%**. 2.9% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 2.0%**. 2.0% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 11.7%**. 11.7% on shareholders' equity is solid.
- **Return on invested capital: 4.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.1%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -0.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces -0.8% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -6.5%** (3-yr -7.7%/yr, 5-yr -4.4%/yr). Revenue fell 6.5% over the last year, against -4.4% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 196.4%** (5-yr -19.7%/yr). Earnings per share rose 196.4%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -53.8%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -53.8% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 2.26**. Debt is 2.26 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 6.8×**. It would take 6.8 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Current ratio: 0.76** (quick 0.76). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 5.69%** ($1.80 per share, trailing). Whirlpool Corporation yields 5.69%, an income-level yield.
- **Payout ratio: 94%**. 94% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving a thin cushion.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 1.8%/yr** (1-yr -24.3%). The dividend has grown 1.8% a year over five years.

- **From 52-week high: -68.2%** (18.2% above the low). Trading 68% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 57**. An RSI of 57 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.09** (volatility 52%). Beta of 1.09 against the S&P 500: the shares move roughly with the market.
