Whirlpool Corporation (WHR) Could Go To $120 “In A Hearbeat,” Says Jim Cramer

We recently published Jim Cramer Reveals His Trading Strategy For H2 2025 & Discusses These 16 Stockse. Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:WHR) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed.

Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:WHR) is an American home appliance company that makes and sells a wide variety of appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators. While the shares have lost 8.5% year-to-date, they have gained 34% over the past month. Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:WHR)’s stock has soared recently because the firm has built a narrative of benefiting from tariffs due to its US presence. Cramer discussed this aspect as well:

“You know I’m focused on tariffs, I mentioned earlier that Amazon. . .talking about the China tariffs are here. Whirlpool. Okay, the government’s side of back Whirlpool versus foreign companies that make appliances. Whirlpool sells at seven times earnings, the stock could go to 120 in a heartbeat. Because they are going to have this market to themselves after the tariffs come in. I’ve been waiting for this industry to be able to rationalize for a long time. . . we’re talking about big, big tariffs. We’re talking about making it so that Whirlpool becomes cheap. This is the beginning of what I regard as people saying, wait a second, tariffs distort the market, and keep out inexpensive makers. I would say the only one left that we have is Whirlpool and good luck going against Whirlpool once we start doing these tariffs.

“But I think its important is we sold a lot of our companies, our appliance companies to Asia. So maybe it’s time we gave these companies a chance because our American manufacturers are being crushed by overseas.”

However, while he was positive on Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:WHR), Cramer had advised viewers to buy Home Depot a day before President Trump announced his Liberation Day tariffs:

“I don’t understand why – it never goes anywhere, I thought this guy would come in, I thought it’d be well-run – it’s not happening. I’m going to say I don’t like it. I think you should own the stock of Home Depot—that’s the one to buy right here right now.”

While we acknowledge the potential of WHR as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
