Whirlpool Aktie News

David Tepper is one of the most successful hedge fund managers in history, with a net worth of ~$23.7 billion.

A combination of a weak housing market and competitors' near-term actions has put pressure on Whirlpool in 2025. Both these issues could reverse in 2026, and despite the doom and gloom, there's a case for buying the stock.

Global private equity firm Advent International's talks to acquire U.S. giant Whirlpool's India unit for up to $1 billion have collapsed due to disagreements over valuation, four people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

John Buckingham, editor of the Prudent Speculator, reminds investors to be “willing to stomach volatility.”

Tepper slashed his hedge fund's position in UnitedHealth Group, perhaps to take some profits off the table. He loaded up on Whirlpool, Qualcomm, and AMD stocks.

The housing market is still in rough shape, impacting performance for all companies in the sector—from homebuilders to home improvement companies. However, it may be on track for a recovery, as easing interest rates and home prices have triggered a slow trickle of improvement that is expected to strengthen in 2026.

California-based Financial Sense Advisors sold 62,238 shares of Whirlpool in the third quarter, decreasing the position value by about $7.1 million. The transaction value equals about 1% of 13F AUM for the quarter.

Whirlpool on Tuesday asked a U.S. trade agency to block the import and sale of microwaves from rival manufacturers based in South Korea and China, alleging they copied its patented technology for over-the-range models.
