Here’s whether Whirlpool Corp. (WHR) is worth buying in 2026 —
based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs.
the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
🟡
Caution
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); RSI 53 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); weak 1-year return of -54.3%; 3-month momentum negative (-5.4%). Currently 58.2% off its 52-week high. Score: -2/7.
WHR is trading below its 200-day MA ($58.91) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 53.4 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -54.3% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 74.7%). The current 58.2% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
