Whirlpool Corporation is selling its Russian operations to Turkish appliances maker Arçelik AS for $220 million, a decision made in response to ongoing supply-chain disruptions and challenging economic conditions. This move is expected to result in a significant loss of $300 million to $400 million in the current quarter, compounded by an 8.2% decline in year-over-year revenue reported for Q1. Despite these setbacks, Whirlpool announced a 25% increase in its quarterly dividend, marking ten consecutive years of hikes, as it seeks to support shareholder value in a turbulent market.
