What the filing says
Whirlpool reported Q3 2026 GAAP net loss of $249M ($3.80 per diluted share) vs. $73M profit ($1.29 per share) in Q3 2025. The company drastically cut full-year 2026 guidance: GAAP EPS from prior guidance to $(4.95) (representing ~$320M net loss), and ongoing EPS to $(1.30). Q3 ongoing EBIT margin fell to 2.6% from 4.5% YoY. A $54M charge from Grupo Casas Bahia bankruptcy in Latin America and $124M equity method investment impairment in India drove Q3 results. 2026 net sales now guided to ~$14.5B (down 1.5% YoY like-for-like). Free cash flow guidance revised to ~$300M for full year despite operating cash burn of $(826M) YTD.
Why this rating
Massive earnings miss, guidance slashed ~$10/share, material trade customer loss in key region, worsening margin profile. Large relative to $5.4B market cap but not existential.
