Share prices rose 9.3% on average following results. Oshkosh posted revenues of $2.69 billion, up 2.5% year on year, exceeding expectations by 2.6%.

Oshkosh Corporation has introduced AI-enabled technology to detect material contamination during refuse and recycling collection in real time. Developed by its McNeilus subsidiary in collaboration with Paris-based Lixo, the system uses computer vision and machine learning to identify over 80 contaminants, including plastic bags, yard waste and hazardous materials. The technology leverages artificial intelligence, edge computing and cloud-based analytics to help haulers and municipalities manage contamination, divert waste from landfills and meet environmental goals. It can be factory-installed on new McNeilus vehicles or retrofitted to existing fleets. Integration with McNeilus' ClearSky Intelligence telematics platform will allow customers to view contamination insights alongside operational data. The solution aims to support data-driven, sustainable refuse operations across North America.
Oshkosh Defense has partnered with Marine Depot Maintenance Command on a public-private initiative supporting advanced manufacturing and the Digital Manufacturing Exchange (DMX), a secure digital platform designed to accelerate military part production and enhance fleet readiness. As an original equipment manufacturer, Oshkosh Defense will provide validated technical data enabling approved parts to be manufactured at point of need using secure, configuration-controlled processes. The system aims to reduce reliance on traditional supply chains, which are often extended and vulnerable in contested environments. DMX provides a secure framework for transmitting technical data packages whilst managing intellectual property controls, allowing approved users to produce parts globally. The partnership supports faster repairs and reduces downtime for critical military fleets operating in austere or contested environments.
Oshkosh shares fell 2.7% after the specialty vehicles contractor reported mixed fourth-quarter results and issued disappointing full-year guidance.

For full-year 2026, Oshkosh projected adjusted earnings of approximately $11.50 per share at the midpoint, falling short of analyst estimates by 6.7%. The weaker profit forecast drove the stock decline. The stock has experienced 14 moves greater than 5% over the past year. Shares are up 8.6% year-to-date, trading at $143.56, close to their 52-week high of $156.60.
