Whirlpool’s Tariff Cheer Gets Washed Up?

Whirlpool’s Tariff Cheer Gets Washed Up?

Whirlpool had earlier cheered President Donald Trumps’ tariffs on imported washing machines, hoping the policy to boost the firm's sales.

But Trump’s tariff spree also includes raw material such as steel and aluminum. So now, Whirlpool’s worried that its profit margins are getting crushed by the levies on imported metals that its uses to make its products. The company on Monday lowered  its profit outlook for 2018, partly due to a "challenging cost environment." 

The company has been hiking prices on its washing machines following Trump’s implementation of the tariffs, amidst flagging sales in recent times.

Shares of Citigroup (C) declined approximately 5.17% in the most recent completed trading session, closing at $110.19 versus a prior close of $116.19. The primary catalyst was hotter-than-expected U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) data, stoking fears of persistent inflation and a reduced likelihood of near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts.
AVAV surged +16.83% in Monday's session, trading at $294.70 compared to Friday's closing price of $252.25 — a gain of $42.45 per share. The primary catalyst was a powerful confluence of geopolitical demand and corporate developments: the escalating U.S.-Iran military conflict dramatically amplified investor focus on AeroVironment's loitering munitions portfolio.
Shares of Venture Global surged approximately +16.61% on March 2, 2026, closing at $11.30 compared to the prior close of $9.69. The primary catalyst was a stronger-than-expected Q4 2025 earnings report, with GAAP EPS of $0.41 beating the consensus estimate of $0.36 by $0.05.
Shares of CCL plunged 10.11% in Monday's session, falling from a prior close of $31.55 to $28.36. The primary catalyst was a coordinated U.S. and Israeli military strike on Iran over the weekend, causing crude oil prices to surge approximately 8–9% and triggering a global risk-off selloff.
ADT shares dropped sharply — falling as much as 13.4% intraday and hitting a new 52-week low of $6.65 — after reporting Q4 2025 results before the Monday open. Fourth-quarter revenue and guidance both missed analyst expectations, overshadowing an earnings-per-share beat.
Shares of Karman Holdings surged approximately +13.00% in Monday's session, closing near $99.57, up from a prior close of $88.11. The primary catalyst was the release of the company's fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results, which showed strong revenue growth and exceeded top-line expectations.
Netflix dropped out of a months‑long bidding war for Warner Bros Discovery after Paramount/Skydance raised their offer, and Netflix refused to match it, saying the new price was “no longer financially appealing.” The stock jumped roughly 10%+ on the news as investors read this as fiscal discipline—management chose not to overpay, which protects the balance sheet and future returns instead of chasing scale at any price.
SE shares plunged approximately 23% at Tuesday's open, marking one of the steepest single-session selloffs in recent company history. The primary catalyst was a severe Q4 2025 earnings miss: adjusted EPS of $0.63 fell well short of the analyst consensus of $0.80, a miss of roughly 21%.
Shares of Southern Copper Corporation (SCCO) are down 10.32% in Tuesday's session, trading at $196.27 versus the prior close of $218.85 — a single-day loss of $22.58 per share. The primary catalyst is a Bank of America downgrade issued on March 2, cutting SCCO from Neutral to Underperform, which triggered accelerating sell pressure into Tuesday's open.
MDB shares plummeted approximately 26.44% on March 3, 2026, closing around $238.24, down from a prior close of approximately $322.55. The primary catalyst was weaker-than-expected fiscal Q1 2027 guidance, with non-GAAP EPS projected at $1.15–$1.19 versus analyst expectations of roughly $1.46.
Shares of Battalion Oil Corporation (BATL) are surging approximately +130% in Tuesday's session, with the stock hitting a fresh 52-week high as of intraday trading on March 3, 2026. The dominant catalyst is a sharp escalation of U.S.-Israel-Iran military tensions, with Tehran restricting access to the Strait of Hormuz — triggering a spike in crude oil futures and a broad-based energy sector rally.
Shares of CRDO dropped 18.55% on March 3, 2026, falling from a prior close of $114.22 to approximately $93.03. The primary catalyst was a "sell the news" reaction to fiscal Q3 2026 earnings — despite beating consensus estimates on both revenue and EPS, the market sold off on forward margin compression guidance.
PSIX shares plummeted approximately 25.37% on March 3, 2026, closing near $64.00 versus the prior session's close of $85.75. The primary catalyst was the company's Q4 and full-year 2025 earnings report, which revealed Q4 net income fell 31% year-over-year to $16.1 million despite a 33% revenue increase.
Life360 Inc Common (LIF) stunned many traders today as the stock slid more than 20% despite reporting what, on the surface, looked like very strong results: revenue up roughly 32% year over year to about $489.5 million and the company’s first-ever full‑year profitability.
StoneCo Ltd. (STNE) shares dropped more than 15% today after the market reacted negatively to the company’s latest Q4 2025 and full‑year results and its updated outlook. While StoneCo delivered year‑over‑year revenue and earnings growth and even topped EPS expectations, investors focused on weaker‑than‑hoped revenue numbers, rising credit risk metrics, and a more cautious medium‑term guidance profile, which together triggered a sharp rerating of the stock.
Alamo Group reported Q4 2025 EPS of about 1.70 dollars, well below analyst expectations that were in the low‑2 dollar range, producing a sizable negative earnings surprise. Quarterly revenue came in around 373.7 million dollars, down roughly 3% year over year and about 7–8% below consensus estimates near 405 million dollars, signaling softer demand than the market anticipated.
Hycroft Mining Holding Corp (HYMC) shares slid more than 12% today as traders digested the company’s newly filed 2025 annual report, a major corporate update, and an extended development timeline that shifts the story further away from near‑term production and cash flow.
PicS (PICS) shares dropped more than 12% today as investors reacted to mounting concerns about valuation, elevated volatility, and uncertainty ahead of the company’s next earnings report later in March.
Shares of MOBX surged approximately +532.77% in the March 3, 2026 trading session, closing at $1.12 versus a prior close of $0.18. The primary catalyst was a major production purchase order from the U.S. Navy for components used in the Tomahawk cruise missile program.
DAKT shares are declining approximately -10% in Wednesday's session, trading near $23.91, compared to the prior close of approximately $26.57. The primary catalyst is the pre-market release of fiscal Q3 2026 earnings, in which diluted EPS of $0.06 fell significantly short of the consensus estimate of approximately $0.13–$0.15.
