<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Whirlpool has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Whirlpool's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Whirlpool's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.84%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Goldman Sachs analyst Susan Maklari reiterated a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WHR/analyst-ratings">Buy rating</a> on the shares of Whirlpool Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>) with a price target of $138.
Whirlpool reported adjusted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n43318720/whirlpool-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-results-provides-2025-guidance">fourth-quarter EPS of $4.57</a>, exceeding the analyst&#8217;s forecast of $4.08 and the FactSet consensus of $4.34. 
The stronger-than-expected performance relative to the analyst&#8217;s model was driven by a lower adjusted tax rate, which added $1.61 to the results, as well as interest expenses and other factors contributing an additional $0.22. 
Revenue dropped by 18.7%, slightly better than the analyst&#8217;s estimate of -18.9%, adding $0.01. However, this was partially offset by an adjusted EBIT margin 118 basis points lower than the analyst&#8217;s estimate of 6.0%, which reduced earnings by $1.35.
Overall, the results were influenced by a significant inventory reduction at a major North American retailer and ongoing weakness in discretionary spending, which pressured product mix and margins. 
Looking ahead, the 2025 adjusted EPS guidance was set at approximately $10, below the analyst&#8217;s forecast of $10.75 and the consensus estimate of $11.46.
Revenues in the North America MDA segment declined by 1% year-over-year, better than the analyst&#8217;s expected drop of 2%, as the analyst estimated that volumes were relatively stable while price/mix challenges remained consistent with the previous quarter.
Small Domestic Appliance revenues grew by 6%, falling short of the analyst&#8217;s 8% estimate, as a challenging market environment partially offset strong direct-to-consumer sales and new product introductions.
Additionally, investments in marketing and new products caused the segment's margin to fall 350 basis points, declining by 127 basis points year-over-year to 12.5%, said the analyst.
The company plans to sell about 31% of its stake in Whirlpool India for $550-$600 million, with the transaction expected to be completed by mid- to late 2025.
Management intends to use the proceeds to reduce debt by around $700 million in 2025 and refinance $1.1-$1.2 billion in upcoming maturities.
The analyst will be looking for updates on the U.S. demand given the macro backdrop, the success of recent new product introductions, key factors to margins including price realization, inflation, and cost reductions, and the impact of potential trade actions.

Why Meta Platforms Shares Are Trading Higher; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>) stock is trading lower after the company reported fourth-quarter financial results and issued 2025 guidance after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">market close Wednesday.</a>
What Happened: Whirlpool reported fourth-quarter net sales of $4.14 billion, down 18.7% year-over-year. The revenue total missed a Street consensus estimate of $4.23 billion, according to data <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent012925&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company said the net sales decline was the result of the Europe divestiture with organic net sales up 1.9% year-over-year.
Whirlpool's fourth-quarter earnings per share of $4.57 beat a Street consensus estimate of $4.28. &nbsp;
"In 2024, we continued to make progress in our operations and delivered on our cost take out commitment of $300 million while achieving the closure of the Europe transaction, supporting our ongoing portfolio transformation," Whirlpool CEO Marc Bitzer said.
What's Next: Whirlpool said it expects to pay down around $700 million in debt in 2025. The company also said it intends to reduce its ownership stake in Whirlpool of India to around 20% in 2025 via market sale.
"In 2025, we expect to deliver more than $200 million of cost take out and position our business for the eventual U.S. housing recovery," Bitzer said.
Whirlpool Chief Financial Officer Jim Peters said the India transaction and capital allocation priorities will "maximize shareholder value" and improve the company's balance sheet.
The company's guidance calls for full-year 2025 revenue to be $15.8 billion, up 3% year-over-year on a "like-for-like basis." Analysts expect the company to report revenue of $16.7 billion.
The company expects full-year 2025 earnings per share to be $8.75 versus an analyst target of $11.95.
WHR Price Action: Whirlpool stock is down 12% to $114.25 in after-hours trading Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $84.18 to $135.49.
