Whirlpool Corporation WHR is slated to release third-quarter 2025 results on Oct. 27, after the closing bell. The household appliance company’s bottom and top lines are expected to have declined.
For third-quarter revenues, the Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $3.92 billion, indicating a 1.7% drop from the prior-year quarter’s figure. The consensus estimate for quarterly earnings has increased 2.9% in the past 30 days to $1.42 per share. However, the consensus mark for earnings indicates a 58.6% fall from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
The company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 13% in the last reported quarter. The bottom line has surpassed estimates by 0.6%, on average, over the trailing four quarters.
Sluggish global demand trends from negative consumer sentiments, stemming from a tough macro environment including inflationary pressures and market uncertainty, are likely to hurt its quarterly results. Weak home sales and overall discretionary spending have been weighing on its performance. In addition, higher promotional activity, adverse price/mix and foreign currency translations have been acting as headwinds.
The company has been facing volume pressure from intensified competition, with foreign rivals pre-loading Asian imports ahead of tariff implementations, leading to a highly promotional environment. In addition, higher raw material expenses are likely to have added to costs and impacted margins in the to-be-reported quarter. Fluctuations in the cost of key materials like steel, resins and base metals are expected to have been a concern. These shortcomings are likely to mar the company’s bottom and top-line results in the to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for MDA Asia and MDA Latin America is currently pegged at $235 million and $818 million, respectively, indicating declines of 1.7% and 3.3%.
On the flip side, management has been taking cost-takeout and pricing actions to offset high-cost concerns. Its cost-cutting actions and organization-simplification moves have been intact. WHR has reduced structural and discretionary costs, capitalized on opportunities from raw material deflation, effectively managed working capital and aligned supply-chain. It has also been focusing on the successful introduction of new products and launches.
