Oshkosh Corporation is upgraded to 'Strong Buy' due to deep undervaluation and significant upside potential. Despite recent share underperformance and mixed bottom-line results, OSK's revenue growth and discounted valuation support a bullish stance. Management forecasts adjusted EPS of $18–$22 by 2028, implying annualized upside of 30%+ if targets are met at current multiples.
Oshkosh Corporation is upgraded to a strong buy with a $180.56 price target, driven by a robust balance sheet and multi-year growth trajectory. Despite recent margin compression and operational challenges in Vocational and Transport, OSK's strong backlog and Access/Defense opportunities underpin long-term upside. Q2 saw revenue growth but lower margins; near-term performance hinges on improved fire truck throughput and NGDV production ramp.
Oshkosh (OSK) is technically in oversold territory now, so the heavy selling pressure might have exhausted. This along with strong agreement among Wall Street analysts in raising earnings estimates could lead to a trend reversal for the stock.
