Heading into today, shares of the maker of Maytag, KitchenAid and other appliances had lost 12.68% over the past month, lagging the Consumer Discretionary sector's loss of 7.27% and the S&P 500's loss of 6.69% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from Whirlpool as it approaches its next earnings release, which is expected to be July 25, 2022. On that day, Whirlpool is projected to report earnings of $5.65 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 14.91%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $5.38 billion, up 1.09% from the year-ago period.
WHR's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $24.86 per share and revenue of $22.14 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -6.51% and +0.71%, respectively.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for Whirlpool. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
