Whirlpool Corporation’s recent downgrades by major credit rating agencies to non-investment-grade status have significantly impacted its financial landscape. The downgrades by Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch have led to increased borrowing costs and restricted access to certain financing options, which are typically available to investment-grade entities. This situation poses a risk to Whirlpool’s liquidity and competitive position, as further downgrades could exacerbate these challenges, affecting its cash flow and financial condition. The company’s ability to comply with interest coverage ratios in its credit facilities may also be at risk, potentially leading to further financial constraints.

The average WHR stock price target is $78.80, implying 1.57% upside potential.
