Whirlpool Corporation reported a weak first quarter of 2026, swinging to a loss as demand softened, especially in North America. Net sales fell to $3.27 billion from $3.62 billion, and gross margin compressed to 12.7% from 16.8%, driven by lower volume, negative price/mix and costs tied to inventory reductions, partly offset by tariff recoveries and mitigation actions.
The company posted a net loss available to common shareholders of $85 million, or $(1.43) per diluted share, versus earnings of $71 million, or $1.28 per share, a year earlier. Operating cash flow was an outflow of $827 million, while capital spending was $68 million. Whirlpool strengthened equity by issuing 7.9 million common shares for about $524 million and 8.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock for about $557 million, and recorded $32 million of restructuring charges as it simplifies its footprint and workforce. Small Appliances delivered double‑digit sales and margin gains, but North America EBIT margin dropped to 0.3% amid sharp industry demand declines.
