Is Whirlpool Corporation under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Whirlpool Corporation P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Whirlpool Corporation's current stock price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 12x. In other words, Whirlpool Corporation stocks trade at around 12x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). 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 "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.6495. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
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 stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Whirlpool Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $1.5 billion ($2 billion CAD).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Whirlpool Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
Forward annual dividend yield: 6.28% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 43.29% of net profits
Whirlpool Corporation has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 6.28% of its share value annually.
Whirlpool Corporation has paid out, on average, around 43.29% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.28% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 6.28% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Whirlpool Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about 7 per share.
While Whirlpool Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Whirlpool Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 14 March 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 February 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Currently 1.073% of Whirlpool Corporation shares are held by insiders and 94.715% by institutions.

Whirlpool Corporation's address is: 2000 North M-63, Benton Harbor, MI, United States, 49022-2692
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.
