Major corporations have already begun announcing layoffs on Thursday as President Donald Trump's sweeping new tariff structure is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44630499/trump-auto-tariffs-could-up-car-prices-by-15k-analyst-calls-it-pure-chaos">set to take effect.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: One of the Big Three automakers, Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), said on Thursday that it will be temporarily laying off 900 workers and pausing production at one assembly plant each in Mexico and Canada.&nbsp;
The move comes after a 25% tariff on all imported vehicles and auto parts went into effect on Thursday. Meanwhile, President Trump introduced a base 10% tariff on all goods coming into the United States and a broad set of reciprocal tariffs targeting several countries on Wednesday.

According to a Reuters report, Stellantis' Windsor Assembly in Canada will be down for two weeks while Toluca Assembly in Mexico, will be down for the month of April.&nbsp;
About 4,500 workers at Windsor will be impacted by the shutdown, while workers at Toluca will continue to report to work and get paid but will not make vehicles.&nbsp;
Stellantis COO Antonio Filosa said the company is &#8220;continuing to assess the medium- and long-term effects of these tariffs on our operations, but also have decided to take some immediate action,&#8221; in a letter sent to employees Thursday morning.&nbsp;
U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the job cuts at Stellantis "a horrifying consequence of Trump's tariffs" in a social media post.

The company released a statement blaming the workforce reduction on slowing consumer demand.&nbsp;
"This is really about aligning to current market conditions driven by consumer demand, particularly as it relates to some of the appliances (refrigeration) made in Amana," Whirlpool's statement said.
Fisher-Price, a subsidiary of Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>), also laid off up to 15 employees at its headquarters in East Aurora, New York on Thursday, according to<a href="https://buffalonews.com/news/local/business/article_9a3bfd49-4e15-40e5-843f-9ba3afcbd7e3.html"> a report</a> from the Buffalo News.&nbsp;

Schumer Calls Stellantis Layoffs A 'Horrifying Consequence' Of Trump's Tariff Plan

President Donald Trump is set to unveil a sweeping tariff plan — nicknamed &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; — on Wednesday that could lift U.S. trade duties to levels not seen in decades, disrupting global supply chains and jolting financial markets already<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44589523/trumps-liberation-day-tariff-plan-could-ignite-global-trade-shakeup-betting-markets-price-in-the-pain" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> wary of geopolitical risk.</a>
Ahead of the Trump administration&#8217;s April 2 reciprocal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" rel="noreferrer noopener">tariffs</a> announcement, BofA Securities examines how building product companies could be impacted.
The U.S. has imposed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269301/trumps-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect-eu-retaliates-us-steel-nucor-century-aluminum-and-other-domestic-stocks-cheer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">25% tariff</a> on all steel and aluminum products, including imports from Canada and Mexico. These tariffs took effect on March 4 but are paused until April 2 for goods and services that meet USMCA rules. Additionally, a 20% tariff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44117288/after-china-mexico-to-hit-back-against-trumps-tariffs-raising-trade-war-risks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">applies to Chinese imports</a>.
In a report on Tuesday, a BofA analyst says China tariffs are a headwind to Masco Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAS#NYSE">MAS</a>) and Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBIN#NYSE">FBIN</a>), but positive for Whirlpool Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>), due to less exposure versus its peers.
Mohawk Industries Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MHK#NYSE">MHK</a>) would benefit from tariffs on Europe (ceramics) and Vietnam (luxury vinyl tile or LVT). The tariffs for Mexico are a headwind for Whirlpool and Mohawk.
Homebuilders could face headwinds from Canadian lumber tariffs. Manufacturers have announced price hikes to offset the &#8220;dynamic trade policy,&#8221; but the analyst sees a risk that volumes could weaken in a difficult macro backdrop.
BofA analyst writes that U.S. tariffs on China will affect the plumbing industry, including fixtures, valves and rough plumbing.
While some plumbing products are made in China, many components come from other parts of Asia.
Fortune Brands has stated that 50%-60% of its material costs come from outside the U.S., with less than 25% from China. The company aims to reduce that to below 10% by 2025.
Meanwhile, Masco said the latest 10% tariff on Chinese imports could cost the company $45 million annually before any cost-cutting measures.
Rising lumber prices could cut into homebuilders&#8217; profits, the analyst writes. Lumber costs are up 12% this year, and the impact may be felt in the next three to six months. While builders managed price swings in 2021-2022, strong demand increased home prices by about 40%. With weaker demand and more homes on the market, offsetting higher costs may be more difficult now.

President Trump Says Working On Pipeline Held Up By New York To Bring Down Energy Prices; 625M Acres Of Offshore That Had Been Banned Under Biden Will Now Be Unbanned; Going To Get Rid Of Dishwasher, Sink Standards

Whirlpool's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.32% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.53 million shares sold short, which is 11.48% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.77 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Whirlpool Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1738610112_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Whirlpool has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Whirlpool's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Whirlpool's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.84%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Goldman Sachs analyst Susan Maklari reiterated a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WHR/analyst-ratings">Buy rating</a> on the shares of Whirlpool Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>) with a price target of $138.
Whirlpool reported adjusted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n43318720/whirlpool-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-results-provides-2025-guidance">fourth-quarter EPS of $4.57</a>, exceeding the analyst&#8217;s forecast of $4.08 and the FactSet consensus of $4.34. 
The stronger-than-expected performance relative to the analyst&#8217;s model was driven by a lower adjusted tax rate, which added $1.61 to the results, as well as interest expenses and other factors contributing an additional $0.22. 
Revenue dropped by 18.7%, slightly better than the analyst&#8217;s estimate of -18.9%, adding $0.01. However, this was partially offset by an adjusted EBIT margin 118 basis points lower than the analyst&#8217;s estimate of 6.0%, which reduced earnings by $1.35.
Overall, the results were influenced by a significant inventory reduction at a major North American retailer and ongoing weakness in discretionary spending, which pressured product mix and margins. 
Looking ahead, the 2025 adjusted EPS guidance was set at approximately $10, below the analyst&#8217;s forecast of $10.75 and the consensus estimate of $11.46.
Revenues in the North America MDA segment declined by 1% year-over-year, better than the analyst&#8217;s expected drop of 2%, as the analyst estimated that volumes were relatively stable while price/mix challenges remained consistent with the previous quarter.
Small Domestic Appliance revenues grew by 6%, falling short of the analyst&#8217;s 8% estimate, as a challenging market environment partially offset strong direct-to-consumer sales and new product introductions.
Additionally, investments in marketing and new products caused the segment's margin to fall 350 basis points, declining by 127 basis points year-over-year to 12.5%, said the analyst.
The company plans to sell about 31% of its stake in Whirlpool India for $550-$600 million, with the transaction expected to be completed by mid- to late 2025.
Management intends to use the proceeds to reduce debt by around $700 million in 2025 and refinance $1.1-$1.2 billion in upcoming maturities.
The analyst will be looking for updates on the U.S. demand given the macro backdrop, the success of recent new product introductions, key factors to margins including price realization, inflation, and cost reductions, and the impact of potential trade actions.
