What stands out

Operating margin is thin at 5.40%. Limited cushion if revenue slows or costs rise, not the profile of a wide-moat business.

What's changing

Revenue declined 6.5% YoY. The question is whether this is cyclical or a structural shift.

What deserves caution

Free cash flow declined 79% versus the prior year, cash generation momentum has weakened. Net debt of $6.69B represents 82.6x FCF, leverage limits flexibility.

Valuation context

9.5x earnings. The multiple is below average. Either the market is pricing in deterioration you should investigate, or there's genuine value here.

Is Whirlpool (WHR) overvalued?

At a P/E of 9.5, Whirlpool (WHR)'s valuation is best read against its own history, its peers, and the growth its price implies.

On quality, Whirlpool scores 25/100 on Intrinsiqq's quality scorecard (a lower-quality business on these measures), weighing growth, margins, returns on capital, share count, and balance-sheet strength. It currently yields about 9.6%; see dividend safety for coverage and history.

Frequently asked

Is Whirlpool a high-quality business?+

Whirlpool scores 25 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 7 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a lower-quality business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a 4.2% operating margin and a 5.0% return on invested capital. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from SEC filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full metric-by-metric breakdown is on the quality scorecard.

Does Whirlpool (WHR) pay a dividend, and how much?+

Yes, Whirlpool pays a regular dividend of about $2.67 per share per year (typically in quarterly installments), a yield of roughly 9.6% at the current price. That is a payout ratio of about 102.4% of earnings, so the dividend is stretched at this level. A low headline yield is not the same as a weak dividend: what matters is how well earnings and free cash flow cover the payout and whether it is growing, not the percentage alone. For WHR's full payout history, growth streak and dividend-safety score, see the dividends tab.

Is Whirlpool a good stock to buy right now?+

That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. you should weigh WHR's valuation and scores 25/100 on quality (lower-quality). It also yields about 9.6%. A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
