Tariff Talk with Tom Rotunno What we learned today: The past few years have been bad for Whirlpool stock. The stock price has fallen more than 30% since the beginning of the year, marking the fourth consecutive calendar year of negative growth. Lost over 65% within this period. Tariffs have been a big focus this year, even though the company manufactures more than 80% of its products domestically and most of its competitors are importers. Whirlpool said it has been hurt by advances in inventory by overseas competitors. Still, CEO Mark Bitzer expressed hope on Tuesday’s earnings call after the company reported better-than-expected results. “I believe we are nearing a tipping point,” Bitzer said. He added that he expects Whirlpool to have a “clear relative advantage” at current rate levels, pointing to Whirlpool’s “approximately 3% cost increases compared to approximately 5% to 15% annualized cost increases” for its competitors. Whirlpool ended the day up 5%, compared to a 20% decline over the past three months.
