I'm drawn to the generous dividend, but also question the sustainability of the dividend given its high debt load on the balance sheet.

I also want your opinion on the long-term narrative of the company given the international competitive environment in the large appliance sector.

Thanks for the comments.

Cheers.

Matt, I want to start with you.

Whirlpool, what is your take?

As a company that we can say is sensitive to the economic headwinds or tailwinds of the housing industry, whether that be new construction or refurbishment or anything like that, it's going to take a while for something like Whirlpool to really turn around.

All you have to do is look at mortgage originations or refinancing originations to see that the housing market is in a very, very slow space.

And as long as that is kind of crawling along, it's hard to see Whirlpool making a really strong recovery.

I think we're all in consensus here.

There's probably a long-term narrative somewhere, but with the headwinds that the company is facing, maybe just sit on the sidewinds for a while.
