Why Oshkosh (OSK) Is Getting Attention Today

Oshkosh (OSK) has drawn fresh attention after Oshkosh Defense started building the Dutch Expeditionary Patrol Vehicle prototype and partnered with Michigan Tech’s APS LABS on battlefield power technology.

Recent defense wins come alongside a softer tape for Oshkosh, with the share price down 11.0% over the past month and 13.1% over ninety days, while a 45.1% three year total shareholder return indicates that longer term holders have still seen solid gains.

Capitalize on Oshkosh’s defense momentum by lining it up against hand-picked 43 power grid technology and infrastructure stocks.

Oshkosh has declined in the short term while analyst targets and intrinsic value estimates remain far higher than the current US$127.57 share price. Where does fair value actually land within that wide gap?

Most Popular Narrative: 24.5% Undervalued

On the most followed view, Oshkosh screens as undervalued with a fair value of $169.07 versus the recent $127.57 share price. This puts the current defense news flow against a backdrop of longer term earnings power and backlog support.

Expansion of large-scale infrastructure projects and growth in data center construction is now visible in Oshkosh Access orders, with recent book-to-bill above 1 and a sizeable backlog that points to multi-year support for segment revenue and earnings.

Result: Fair Value of $169.07 (UNDERVALUED)
