Whirlpool’s 70-Year Dividend Streak Breaks as Stock Sinks on Deep Profit Cut
Benton Harbor — May 9, 2026, 12:12 EDT 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.
