Is Whirlpool Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

Whirlpool Corporation's P/E ratio

Whirlpool Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, Whirlpool Corporation shares trade at around 11x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Whirlpool Corporation's PEG ratio

Whirlpool Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.6495. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Whirlpool Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Whirlpool Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 61.14% of net profits

Recently Whirlpool Corporation has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Whirlpool Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Whirlpool Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $7 per share.

Whirlpool Corporation's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Whirlpool Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 14 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Whirlpool Corporation's shares ever split?

Whirlpool Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 1 January 1987 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Whirlpool Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Whirlpool Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Whirlpool Corporation's share price.

Whirlpool Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Whirlpool Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $81.4727 up to $126.3. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Whirlpool Corporation's is 1.424. This would suggest that Whirlpool Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
