Credit Suisse analyst Susan Maklari lowered her price target for Whirlpool (WHR) to $125 from $175 to reflect continued pressures from inflation and reduced overhead leverage. While international challenges continue to drag on results, pricing in North America could help provide a necessary offset, she contends. The analyst notes that Sears' (SHLD) Chapter 11 filing should result in few changes in long-term appliance trends, though there could be some near-term choppiness as 142 additional stores are closed and liquidated. Maklari reiterates an Outperform rating on Whirlpool shares.
