Whirlpool's stock experienced a significant after-hours plunge of 5.98% following the release of its fourth-quarter financial results.
The appliance maker reported quarterly revenue of $4.098 billion, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $4.269 billion. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.10, falling short of the $1.57 estimate. Sales declined in key regions, with North American revenue decreasing 0.9% and Latin American revenue falling 4.6%, primarily driven by lower sales volumes.
The company's 2026 guidance also contributed to investor concerns, with Whirlpool forecasting GAAP earnings per share of approximately $6.25, below Wall Street's projection of $6.73 per share. The disappointing results and outlook prompted the sharp sell-off in post-market trading.
