Key statistics
The headline figures for WHR.
As of October 27, 2026, WHR trades at $27.46, with a market value of $1.72B and a P/E ratio of 9.03.
What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of WHR's valuation, growth and risks.
WHR has a trailing P/E of 9.03, which is 56.6% below the Consumer Cyclical median of 20.8. The peer comparison on this page calls that a discount to peers. The company's market value stands at $1.7B.
Revenue fell 6.80% in the latest quarter compared with the same quarter a year earlier, leaving growth 14.0 percentage points slower than the sector median of 7.2%. The company keeps a net margin of 1.25% and an operating margin of 1.62%. Return on equity is 5.93%, which is below the sector median of 12.4%, and debt-to-equity sits at 2.05.
WHR's most recent earnings report, dated August 3, 2026, showed EPS of -$0.21. Analysts had estimated $0.05, so the result came in below expectations. The share price nonetheless climbed 13.80% in the first session after the report.
The earnings record shows 1 beat in 5 reports, yet the stock fell in the first session after that beat. Of the 3 reports before the latest, the largest reaction came after the July 28, 2025 report, which missed the estimate by 22.99% while the stock fell 13.43%. The consensus EPS estimate stands at $1.91 for this fiscal year and $2.89 for next, a decline of 69.4% for the current year.
On a typical day the price of WHR shifts by 3.27%, the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns with a beta of 1.18 against the S&P 500. The downtrend is itself a risk for as long as the price stays under both moving averages. The price is 71.04% below its 52-week high of $94.82.

Earnings miss, but the stock rose ›

- Two levels matter most right now: the 20-day EMA at $28.89, just above the price, and the 52-week low at $25.55, just below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 40.3, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- WHR's share price rose 13.80% in the first session after its August 3, 2026 report. Across the 5 reports in our data, the company has beaten estimates once.
WHR stays in a downtrend while it trades below its 50-day average of $33.32 and its 200-day average of $49.40. Repair would start with a close back above the 50-day average. The 20-day EMA, at $28.89, is the first hurdle above the price.
The next level below the price is the 52-week low at $25.55.
