OSK represents Oshkosh Corporation, an American industrial company headquartered in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The company designs and builds specialty vehicles and equipment for a range of end markets, including access equipment, defense vehicles, fire and emergency apparatus, and commercial trucks. Its brands serve construction, municipal, military, and industrial customers, and the business has grown through a mix of organic expansion and strategic acquisitions across these segments.
OSK's recent share performance, including its latest price change, trading volume, and short-term trend, is shown in the market data section of this page. Performance can vary with quarterly earnings, defense contract news, and broader industrial sector conditions, so reviewing the figures displayed alongside a longer-term chart can provide useful context for how the stock has traded lately.
Investors often review the price-to-earnings ratio, forward P/E, price-to-sales, and enterprise value-to-EBITDA when evaluating OSK, since these compare the share price with the company's earnings, revenue, and cash flow. Because Oshkosh operates in cyclical industrial markets, comparing these multiples with peers and with OSK's own historical averages can help frame whether the stock appears expensive or inexpensive.
OSK is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker OSK, so it can be bought and sold through a brokerage account during normal U.S. market hours. Many brokers also offer extended-hours trading, though liquidity and pricing outside regular sessions can differ. The exchange listing, current price, and trading details are available in the quote section of this page.
Key metrics for OSK include revenue growth, operating margin, earnings per share, free cash flow, and return on invested capital, along with segment-level performance across access equipment, defense, and specialty vehicles. Order backlogs and debt levels also matter because Oshkosh serves cyclical end markets. These figures appear in the company's quarterly and annual financial statements, which are useful for tracking trends over time.
OSK faces risks tied to the cyclical demand for construction and industrial equipment, the timing and funding of defense programs, and supply chain or input cost pressures that can squeeze margins. Economic downturns, changes in government budgets, and competitive pricing in specialty vehicle markets can also affect results. Because a meaningful share of revenue comes from fleet and municipal customers, shifts in their spending can influence performance.
