WHIRLPOOL CORP (NYSE:WHR) reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, missing analyst expectations on both revenue and earnings per share (EPS). The market reaction was sharply negative, with shares dropping more than 12% in after-hours trading.
The substantial miss on both top and bottom lines appears to be the primary driver behind the steep after-hours decline. Investors were likely anticipating stronger performance, particularly given the company’s emphasis on cost reductions and favorable housing demand in North America.
Despite these strategic positives, the immediate financial results fell short, reinforcing concerns about near-term pressures.
The stock had been relatively flat over the past month (+0.04%) and week (+0.07%), suggesting that expectations were not overly pessimistic heading into earnings. However, the magnitude of the EPS miss—coupled with weaker-than-expected sales—triggered a sharp sell-off. The broader market sentiment, as noted in recent financial news, has been cautious, with trade dynamics and consumer demand remaining key concerns.
