Shares of WHR.N reached a 5-day high today, buoyed by renewed investor interest following significant moves by hedge fund manager David Tepper. Tepper's firm, Appaloosa Management, recently acquired 5.5 million shares of Whirlpool, signaling confidence in the struggling appliance maker's potential recovery. This uptick in stock price comes as Tepper adjusts his portfolio, reducing stakes in other sectors while increasing his holdings in Whirlpool, Goodyear, and Qualcomm. Despite broader market pressures, including a 2.3% drop in the Nasdaq Composite, the positive technical momentum for WHR.N reflects a strategic pivot by prominent investors amidst mixed market sentiments.
