 Analyst Kenneth Leon at CFRA on Friday lowered his rating on Whirlpool Corp. WHR, 2.66 shares to sell, from buy, and lowered his price target by 20 to 180 as rising interest rates and a potential risk of global stagflation could hurt consumer-discretionary spending for household appliances. We believe Whirlpool shares may underperform the SP 500 or defensive areas of consumer sectors, Leon said.
