Whirlpool’s 70-Year Dividend Streak Breaks as Stock Sinks on Deep Profit Cut
Whirlpool Corporation got hit hard this week. The company scrapped its common dividend and took an ax to its 2026 profit outlook—a one-two punch that dragged shares down to lows not seen in more than 14 years. By Friday’s close, the stock was sitting at $44.96. That’s a steep drop from Thursday’s $48.21, and even further from Wednesday’s $54.73, based on numbers from the company’s stock-quote page and Reuters.
