Oshkosh Corporation remains a compelling value, with shares still cheap despite recent mixed financial results and profitability weakness. Management maintains bullish guidance for 2026 and beyond, targeting adjusted EPS of $11.50 this year and $18–$22 by 2028. Segment pressures stem from tariffs, unfavorable product mix, and soft market conditions, but innovation and strong aviation/NGDV demand support the growth thesis.
Oshkosh NYSE: OSK reported first-quarter 2026 results that came in modestly below its internal expectations, but management maintained its full-year outlook and said demand remains solid across its major businesses.
OSK misses Q1 earnings estimates as weaker Access and Vocational profitability offsets steady revenues and strong backlog-driven demand visibility.
