Promo normalizes; Q1 NA pressured
Q&A unpacked recent promo normalization—shallower depths post-Black Friday into MLK via price scraping—yet Whirlpool held ground without Q4 share gains amid intensity. Flooring costs from 2025 launches fade, fueling NA unit growth alongside fresh $150M cost cuts tilted to vertical integration and sourcing overhauls. Q1 NA margins lag 6% target from inventory/production curbs and tariffs; H2 ramps. Asset sales, like India tweaks, bridge FCF to $400M debt paydown. Discretionary housing upside unbaked. Q&A largely reaffirms script but quantifies catalysts. Watch promo staying tame.
