Whirlpool Corporation (WHR)

Executive Summary

Whirlpool Corporation is the world’s largest major home appliance manufacturer — operating the Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, JennAir, Amana, Hotpoint, and Brastemp brands across approximately 50 manufacturing and technology centers globally. The stock has corrected 50 percent over the past twelve months — the cyclical bottom of the current housing cycle — on a combination of new-home-build weakness, the disposition drag from Indian Whirlpool India sale, and concerns about the InSinkErator acquisition’s contribution.
