Whirlpool price target lowered to $75 from $82 at Stifel

Stifel analyst W. Andrew Carter lowered the firm’s price target on Whirlpool (WHR) to $75 from $82 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. Post-earnings underperformance that built upon the weakness heading into the quarter is “likely appropriate” given the Q4 profit shortfall yielding a deeper trough following Q2 and Q3 reductions, the analyst tells investors. The firm views initial FY26 guidance as “conservative but pragmatic” given a likely slower recovery and the risks around the appliance category, the analyst added.
