Analysts Offer Mixed Views on Oshkosh Corporation (OSK) Amid Q3 Earnings Beat and Guidance Cut

We recently compiled a list of the 10 Cheap Stocks With Strong Buy Ratings on Wall Street. Oshkosh Corporation is among the best cheap stocks to buy.

TheFly reported on December 19 that Bernstein analyst Chad Dillard maintained a Market Perform recommendation on OSK and raised the price objective to $140 from $132. This adjustment comes as the firm balances the company’s strong performance in its Vocational and Transport segments against a more challenging operational environment in its Access equipment business.

Separately, on December 10, 2025, Argus Research lowered its price target for Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK) to $160 from $175 while maintaining a Buy rating. Analyst Kristina Ruggeri noted that despite the reduction, the target still suggests significant upside. On the same day, Morgan Stanley analyst Angel Castillo maintained an Equal-Weight rating and raised the price target to $147 from $136.

These actions are closely tied to OSK’s Q3 2025 operational results and updated fiscal guidance. The company reported adjusted earnings of $3.20 per share, exceeding analysts’ estimates of $3.12. However, the business revised its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance downward to a range of $10.50–$11.00 from the prior $11.00 forecast, following a 1.9% decline in consolidated net sales to $2.69 billion. The revision primarily reflects an 18.6% drop in sales within the Access segment.

Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK) is a U.S. industrial manufacturer of purpose‑built vehicles and equipment used in defense, construction, industrial access, emergency response, and vocational markets worldwide.
