Whirlpool (NY:WHR) has been a consistent performer over the past two years, and they always seem to beat analyst estimates for about every category.

Even while investors engaged in some profit taking over the past few weeks, the stock has remained in a stable price channel. Trust me, the stock is going to break this channel after the company reports earnings tomorrow morning.

If history repeats itself tomorrow, Whirlpool will beat earnings for the sixth consecutive quarter and break above this price channel. I hate to be the pessimist, but analysts have set the bar too high for the company to beat estimates as easily as they have in the past. I expect their numbers to be inline, and that is my best-case scenario.

Here’s a look at the price channel that Whirlpool has been trading in.
