Whirlpool WHR - added to my watch list


I added Whirlpool WHR to my watch list because the stock is trading at 139.23, which is in the middle of 52wk Range:118.92 - 160.01.

I really like this brand. All my major appliances in my house are Whirlpool. Out of all brands Whirlpool usually has one of the best ratings. My most recent purchase is my dishwasher. I replaced my old Whirlpool with a new one. Everytime I use it, I sing a song of praise to Whirpool. It's very quiet, fits twice the dishes than the old one and cleans very good.

Dividend yield is not very high 2.20%, but the company pays dividends for many years and slowly increase it.

PE 15.37.  1 year Target is $172. But if you look into historical prices, you will notice how prices vary.

Whirlpool buys 60% of struggling Italian brand Indesit (read here), and because of this investment Moody downgrades Whirlpool  due to increasing debts after this purchase. But it can be a two way road. If the Italian economy is struggling at this moment, I would think Whirlpool might get a good deal - like discounted price for business? Stakes in Italian brand can help Whirpool to enter and get more influence in European markets.

The Value Investor at Seeking Alpha is in doubt about Whirlpool here

TheStreet rated WHR as a Buy here.
