<h3>Whirlpool's Economic Impact: An Analysis</h3>
Decline in Revenue: Over the 3 months period, Whirlpool faced challenges, resulting in a decline of approximately -18.94% in revenue growth as of 30 September, 2024. This signifies a reduction in the company's top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company trails behind with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Consumer Discretionary sector.
Evaluating Earnings Performance:
<ul>
<li>
Gross Margin: With a low gross margin of 16.1%, the company exhibits below-average profitability, signaling potential struggles in cost efficiency compared to its industry peers.
</li>
<li>
Earnings per Share (EPS): Whirlpool's EPS is significantly higher than the industry average. The company demonstrates a robust bottom-line performance with a current EPS of 2.01.
</li>
</ul>
Debt Management: With a high debt-to-equity ratio of 2.66, Whirlpool faces challenges in effectively managing its debt levels, indicating potential financial strain.
Valuation Overview:
<ul>
<li>
Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio: The P/E ratio of 10.11 is lower than the industry average, implying a discounted valuation for Whirlpool's stock.
</li>
<li>
Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio: The P/S ratio of 0.32 is lower than the industry average, implying a discounted valuation for Whirlpool's stock in relation to sales performance.
</li>
<li>
EV/EBITDA Analysis (Enterprise Value to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation &amp; Amortization): With a lower-than-industry-average EV/EBITDA ratio of 11.87, Whirlpool presents a potential value opportunity, as investors are paying less for each unit of EBITDA.
</li>
</ul>
Market Capitalization: Exceeding industry standards, the company's market capitalization places it above industry average in size relative to peers. This emphasizes its significant scale and robust market position.

<h3>Delving Into the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
While insider transactions should not be the sole basis for making investment decisions, they can play a significant role in an investor's decision-making process.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>A Deep Dive into Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
Delving into transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

JP Morgan Maintains Neutral on Whirlpool, Raises Price Target to $109

Whirlpool's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>) short percent of float has risen 11.99% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.10 million shares sold short, which is 10.65% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 9.12 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Whirlpool has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Whirlpool's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Whirlpool's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.85%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

SharkNinja, with a market cap of $14.45 billion, is a high-growth product design and technology company known for its household and lifestyle appliances under the Shark and Ninja brands across 33 subcategories across 32 markets.
The company&#39;s three-pronged growth strategy &mdash; focusing on existing categories, exploring new categories, and expanding internationally &mdash; is expected to fuel significant growth and create numerous opportunities.

(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crct#NASDAQ">CRCT</a>), Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/whr#NYSE">WHR</a>) and Helen of Troy Limited (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hele#NASDAQ">HELE</a>), which lost 7.5%, 18.2% and 51.4% YTD.
<h2>Technical Indicators Substantiating SN Stock&#39;s Growth</h2>
SN stock is currently trading above its 50-day simple moving average, signaling a bullish trend.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/c9/77949.jpg?v=15274744" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
This technical strength highlights positive market sentiment and confidence in SN&#39;s financial stability and prospects.
<h2>Factors Solidifying SharkNinja&#39;s Stock Rally</h2>
Product Innovation to Fuel Future Growth: SN&#39;s growth relies heavily on continuous product innovation, focusing on expanding its current offerings and exploring adjacent categories. To maintain its rapid innovation, the company will need to sustain significant investment in Research and Development (R&amp;D).
In 2024, SN plans to launch 25 new products, including four new subcategories. Key launches so far include the Shark FlexBreeze portable fan (January), Ninja FrostVault cooler (March), and Ninja Slushi frozen beverage system (July). A new beauty segment product is scheduled for the fourth quarter. Looking ahead, SN is preparing to enter new categories, with potential launches such as power-operated lawn and garden tools, portable heaters, gas-powered grills, ovens, and steamers, as indicated by recent trademark filings.
International Expansion Substantiates Growth Potential: SN&#39;s international expansion strategy is gaining momentum, with 46% growth in its international segment in the second quarter. The company has built solid relationships with key retailers and accumulated local expertise over the years.
Strong growth opportunities are emerging in markets like the Nordics, Benelux, Poland, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and the Middle East. SN plans to enter Brazil in the fourth quarter, focusing on its beauty and motorized kitchen appliances. With further opportunities in Latin America and a proven international strategy, SN is well-positioned for long-term top-line growth.
Flexible Supply Chain Shields Freight &amp; Tariff Headwinds: SharkNinja has successfully managed a dynamic supply chain by securing long-term freight contracts with a diverse range of carriers, helping the company avoid capacity constraints and related cost spikes. Additionally, SharkNinja has been proactively diversifying its sourcing to mitigate the impact of rising tariffs on Chinese imports.
The company remains committed to eliminating all Chinese exposure for U.S.-bound products by the end of 2025. With ongoing capacity expansion in Southeast Asia, SharkNinja is accelerating efforts to safeguard its supply chain and ensure long-term growth stability.
Omni-Channel Strategy Drives Growth: SN has consistently prioritized reaching consumers across all shopping channels. As consumer shopping behaviors evolve, the company has adapted its omnichannel strategy to meet these changes. SN continues to invest in expanding its sales teams to meet rising consumer demand and strengthen relationships with both physical and online retailers. The success of this strategy depends on several factors, including retailer satisfaction with product sales and profitability, SN&#39;s ability to innovate, and its capacity to maintain and expand into more product categories.
<h2>SN&#39;s Estimate Movement</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for SN&#39;s EPS has increased over the past 60 days. This depicts that there is solid upside potential for the stock. SN delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 14.3%, on average.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/63/77948.jpg?v=681440628" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Impressively, SN currently flaunts a Growth Score of A.
<h2>Potential Risks for SN Stock</h2>
The above-mentioned factors are strongly in favor of SharkNinja&#39;s stock growth, but some potential risks are worth considering while making an investment strategy.
SharkNinja remains cautious of macroeconomic factors such as consumer confidence, demographic shifts, employment levels, inflation, and other economic indicators that could affect its performance. Additionally, the company&#39;s sales are influenced by seasonality, with the first and second quarters being particularly impactful.
<h2>SN Stock Not so Cheap</h2>
SN&#39;s stock is currently overvalued compared to its industry, as shown in the chart below. This high price-to-earnings ratio could indicate that the stock is overvalued in its industry, suggesting stretched valuation for SN.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Consumer Stocks With Over 5% Dividend Yield

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer said he prefers Royal Caribbean (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) over Carnival Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) .
&#8220;Royal Caribbean has the best systems right now, it's got the best numbers. It's the one you want, not Carnival,&#8221; he added.
On Aug. 27, Carnival unveiled new itineraries for seven ships sailing in 2026 and 2027 from Miami, Port Canaveral, Galveston, and Baltimore.
EPR Properties (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPR#NYSE">EPR</a>) has been<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EPR/earnings"> &#8220;too rocky&#8221; for Cramer.</a> On July 31, EPR Properties posted better-than-expected sales for its second quarter.
Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>) is &#8220;too inconsistent,&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;They don't get my buy with that level of inconsistency.&#8221;
On Aug. 19, Whirlpool declared a quarterly dividend of $1.75 per share on its common stock.
When asked about DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NASDAQ">DXCM</a>), he said, &#8220;I did not really care for that last quarter or the explanation of why things had slowed.&#8221;
On Aug. 26, Piper Sandler analyst Matt O&#8217;Brien reiterated DexCom with an Overweight rating and maintained a $90 price target.
The &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host said he really liked SpartanNash Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPTN#NASDAQ">SPTN</a>). &#8220;I like that dividend,&#8221; he added.
On Aug. 15, SpartanNash reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 59 cents, beating the street view of 56 cents. Quarterly revenues of $2.23 billion missed the analyst consensus of $2.27 billion.
Price Action:
<ul>
<li>EPR Properties shares fell 0.5% to settle at $47.72 on Thursday.</li>
<li>Carnival shares closed at $16.15 during Thursday's session.</li>
<li>Whirlpool shares fell 1.3% to close at $97.53 during Thursday's session.</li>
<li>Dexcom shares fell 1.1% to settle at $69.05 on Thursday.</li>
<li>SpartanNash shares fell 1.9% to settle at $22.12 during the session.</li>

Whirlpool's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

Whirlpool's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>) short percent of float has fallen 18.21% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.26 million shares sold short, which is 8.94% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.45 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Whirlpool Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1723212910_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Whirlpool has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Whirlpool's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Whirlpool's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.04%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

(WHR) - Analyzing Whirlpool's Short Interest

The summer of 2024 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/40112086">keeps on breaking temperature records</a>.
Globally, July 2024 was the second hottest July in history after July 2023, according to a Thursday report by the European Union&#8217;s Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Global averages take into consideration the entire world's temperature, including the Southern Hemisphere, where winter occurs between June and September.
This July was cooler than last year's by just approximately 1 degree Farenheit (0.04 degrees Celsius), yet it was the hottest month on record for some regions, including the Western U.S. and Canada, as well as most of Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
Having a slightly less warm July than last year is no cause for celebration. July 2024 was the first time in 13 months that average temperatures didn't beat the previous historical record for that month and it hosted the two hottest days on record globally.&nbsp;
&#8220;We are not done with temperature records causing heatwaves &#8230; We know this long-term warming trend can be, with a very high level of confidence, related to the human impact on climate,&#8221; said Julien Nicolas, a climate researcher with Copernicus, to Reuters.
 July 2024 was on average 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit (1.48 degrees Celsius) higher than pre-industrial levels on a global basis. 
In California, this July was the hottest month on record, with an average statewide temperature of 81.5 degrees Fahrenheit (27.5 degrees Celsius), beating the previous record of 79.8 degrees Fahrenheit (26.5 degrees Celius) set in July 2021, the San Francisco Chronicle <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/weather/article/record-hottest-july-california-19621377.php">reports</a>.
Death Valley, known for holding the record for the hottest place on earth, recorded its hottest month in history during July. The Death Valley National Park registered a 24-hour average of 108.5 degrees Fahrenheit (42.5 degrees Celsius) and a daily peak average of 121.9 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius).
Needles, a small town in California, dethroned Phoenix, Arizona as the hottest urban center in the country, with an average monthly temperature of 103.2 degrees Fahrenheit (39.5 degrees Celsius).

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rising Temperatures: Stocks To Watch</h1>
The rising temperatures present an opportunity for investors, who might look at companies and sectors expected to grow in an increasingly warm Earth.
Companies producing air-conditioning units are first in line. Rising temperatures <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/39463207">will increase the need for air conditioning</a>. Companies in this sector may also see an increase in sales due to worsening air quality in major urban centers.
Valued at $138 billion in 2022, the air-conditioner market is expected to grow to $253 billion by 2031, according to a report by SkyQuest. This includes an average yearly growth of almost 7% between 2024 and 2031.
In North America, the total market for air-conditioners currently stands at $24.6 billion and is expected to reach $35.6 billion in 2030, as per a GrandView Research report.
<ul>
<li>Carrier Global Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CARR#NYSE">CARR</a>) shares recovered this week from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40169330/nvidia-microsoft-apple-amazon-erase-1-1-trillion-in-monday-sell-off-bubble-burst-or-market-correctio">the recent stock sell-off</a> and are up 17% in the last six months.</li>
<li>Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>) is one of the largest producers of air-conditioners. Its shares have underperformed the market in recent periods although the company leads about 25% of the home appliance market in the U.S. In June, German appliance maker Bosch <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39532615/bosch-bid-hype-fades-but-analyst-sees-whirlpools-potential">revealed interest in acquiring Whirlpool</a>, though a bid has not been confirmed. The company is down 10.7% on the month.</li>
<li>Emerson Electric Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMR#NYSE">EMR</a>) is trading at a discount. The company recovered 4.7% on Thursday after experiencing a 10.9% drop since August began.</li>
</ul>
Companies producing weather insulation for residential and commercial buildings also stand to grow from rising temperatures.
Some of the largest public companies in this business include Owens Corning (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OC#NYSE">OC</a>), TopBuild Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLD#NYSE">BLD</a>) and Beacon Roofing Supply Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BECN#NASDAQ">BECN</a>).
An indirect consequence of global warming is a shift in consumer preferences towards non-emitting sources of energy, as greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels represent some of the largest contributors to global warming.
There are several ETFs following the green energy sector.
<ul>
<li>iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICLN#NASDAQ">ICLN</a>) has performed poorly since January, down over 9% year-to-date.</li>
<li>First Trust NASDAQ Cln Edge Smart Grid Infra Ix Fd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRID#NASDAQ">GRID</a>) yielded much better performance and is up 9.5% since January.</li>
<li>Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) is down 22.8% since January.</li>
</ul>
Individual companies in the clean energy sector have performed better in recent times than some of its ETFs.
<ul>
<li>First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) is up 48.7% in the last six months.</li>
<li>GE Vernova Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>), a recent spin-off from General Electric, went public in March and its stock is up 34% since then.</li>
<li>Constellation Energy Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) has been one of the best performers in the clean energy sector, up 61% since January.</li>
