📊 MIXED Whirlpool reports Q1 2026 EBIT margin 1.3%, guides 4% for full year, largest price increase in a decade
Revenue & Profitability
Q1 2026 ongoing EBIT margin was 1.3%, ongoing EPS -$0.56 (including $0.32 non-cash loss from Beko Europe). Free cash flow was negative $896 million. For full-year 2026, management expects revenue growth of ~1.5%, ongoing EBIT margin of ~4%, EPS of $3.00-$3.50, and free cash flow >$300 million.
Outlook
Management expects the U.S. appliance industry to decline by 5% in 2026, with Q1 already down 7.4% (March down 10%). Consumer sentiment hit a 50-year low in March, which management believes is unsustainably low and should rebound, though a full recovery is not anticipated in the near term. The macroeconomic headwinds include the war in Iran and accumulated inflation.
Growth Drivers
Key growth levers include the SDA Global segment, which delivered 10% revenue growth and 250 bps margin expansion to 21% in Q1. New product innovations—such as the Whirlpool UV Laundry Tower, KitchenAid intelligent wall oven, and InSinkErator LEDefense sink flange—are driving market share gains. KitchenAid major appliances are seeing double-digit sell-through growth and market share trending toward the highest level in over a decade.
Balance Sheet & CapEx
Whirlpool expects ~$400 million in capital expenditures in 2026, focused on product innovation, digital transformation, and cost efficiency. Key investments include a $60 million new production facility in Perrysburg, Ohio; multi-year modernization of the Amana, Iowa plant; and shifting front-load washer production from Argentina to Rio Claro, Brazil.
Margins
Full-year 2026 ongoing EBIT margin is guided to ~4%, about 70 bps contraction from prior year. Price mix is expected to contribute 150 bps positive, offset by raw materials (-75 bps) and tariffs (-175 bps). North America MDA segment EBIT margin is expected to be ~4% for the year, improving through the year as pricing actions and cost savings ramp up.
Key Risks
Key risks include the collapse in consumer sentiment (50-year low) due to the war in Iran, which depressed discretionary demand by ~15% in Q1. Other risks: raw material inflation (steel, base metals, resins), tariff volatility, inventory reduction costs ($60 million in Q1), and promotional environment disruption. Currency impacts from Mexican peso and Brazilian real appreciation were partially offsetting.

Q2 2026 Q2 2026 2026-08-04
Q2 results met expectations with sequential margin improvement, driven by pricing actions and new product launches, especially in North America. Liquidity and financial flexibility were enhanced through recapitalization and asset sales, while cost takeout and footprint optimization support margin expansion for the remainder of 2026.
Q1 2026 Q1 2026 2026-05-07
Q1 2026 saw sharp demand declines and margin pressure in North America, prompting bold price hikes and cost actions. Despite a negative free cash flow and paused dividend, strengthened balance sheet and manufacturing investments position the company for recovery.
Q4 2025 Q4 2025 2026-01-29
2025 results were resilient despite $300M in tariffs and weak U.S. housing, with flat revenue and strong cost actions. 2026 guidance calls for 5% revenue growth, margin expansion, and $400–$500M free cash flow, driven by new products, normalized promotions, and continued cost reductions.
Q3 2025 Q3 2025 2025-10-28
Organic revenue growth in Q3 2025 was driven by new product launches and strong SDA performance, but margins were pressured by tariffs and promotions. Full-year guidance was narrowed, with ongoing EPS at $7 and free cash flow at $200 million, as tariff impacts are expected to subside in 2026.
Q2 2025 Q2 2025 2025-07-29
Q2 saw net sales decline 3% year-over-year, but SDA Global delivered strong growth. 2025 guidance was revised to flat sales and EBIT margin, with ongoing EPS of $6-$8, reflecting prolonged tariff and demand headwinds. Dividend was reduced to $3.60 to prioritize investment and debt reduction.

A comprehensive, bias-free framework for analyzing and ranking stocks by Financial Strength, Growth Potential, Competitive Edge, Management Quality, and Value.

Financial Model
Projections are built from each company's audited annual financials (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) over the last 5 fiscal years. Forward assumptions — revenue growth %, EBITDA margin, D&A (USD millions), interest expense, tax rate, and capex — are AI-generated using historical context and refreshed twice a year: after the December results season and after the September/Q4 results season.

DCF Valuation
Fair Value = Σ(FCFt / (1+WACC)t) + Terminal Value. Terminal Value uses the Gordon Growth Model: FCF5 × (1+g) / (WACC−g). Default WACC: 10% (US risk-free ~4.5%, equity risk premium ~5.5%). Default terminal growth: 3% (long-run US nominal GDP proxy).

CAGR Tracker
Expected 5-year CAGR = (DCF Fair Value / Current Price)1/5 − 1. Assumes fair value is reached in exactly 5 years — a mechanical estimate only.
