Summary · why it matters

Whirlpool Corporation is expected to report a steep drop in second-quarter 2026 earnings, with the consensus estimate falling to 8 cents per share, a 94% decline from the year-ago quarter. Revenue is projected at $3.61 billion, down 4.5% from the prior year, while the company’s North American major appliance segment is forecast to see a 5.8% revenue decline to $2.42 billion. In contrast, the Small Domestic Appliances segment is expected to grow 13.5% to $227 million, driven by KitchenAid product launches and direct-to-consumer momentum. Management has implemented its largest price increase in over a decade, including promotional price hikes above 10%, and remains on track to deliver more than $150 million in cost savings during 2026 through manufacturing optimization and other initiatives. The Zacks model gives Whirlpool an Earnings ESP of negative 436% and a Zacks Rank of 5, indicating a low probability of an earnings beat.
