Quality

65

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 65 of 100, an above-average reading in the covered universe. Some underlying measurements are stronger than others.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Middle

46

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 46 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as middle. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Exceptional

82

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 82 of 100, recorded as exceptional. Stored records show 13 consecutive years of dividend payments. Share count has been reduced at about 2.1% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

Oshkosh Corporation is a global industrial technology company that designs and deploys advanced technologies to empower everyday heroes who build, serve and protect communities around the world. Across construction, firefighting, aviation, refuse collection, defense and delivery industries, we create purpose-built vehicles, equipment and integrated ecosystems that are safe, intuitive and highly productive. As an innovator and integrator, we work directly with our customers to solve real-world challenges – developing and applying breakthrough technologies in autonomy, artificial intelligence, connectivity and electrification. Through these advancements, we make some of the world’s toughest jobs safe, efficient, sustainable and connected — delivering measurable impact for the people who depend on us every day.

The Company has three reportable segments: Access, Vocational and Transport, which comprised 43%, 36% and 20%, respectively, of the Company’s 2025 consolidated net sales. Oshkosh’s leading brands include a wide range of purpose-built vehicles and equipment for a diverse set of end markets. Our innovations are scalable and adaptable, often expanding across many of our businesses. We believe collaboration across our diverse, resilient portfolio drives breakthroughs in technology, supply chain, materials integration and manufacturing across markets. The Company generated approximately 20% of its net sales in both 2025 and 2024, and 19% in 2023, from sales to the United States (U.S.) government, a substantial majority of which were under multi-year contracts and programs in the defense vehicle market. See Note 24 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information related to the Company's reportable segments.

The Access segment designs and manufactures access and material handling equipment for use in a wide range of construction, industrial, agricultural, vegetation management and maintenance applications to safely position workers and materials at height under industry-leading brands, JLG and SkyTrak. The Access segment's customer base includes equipment rental companies, construction contractors and home improvement centers. The Access segment also includes Jerr-Dan towing and recovery vehicles (such as wreckers, rotators and carriers).

The Vocational segment includes the Pierce, Maxi-Metal, Oshkosh AeroTech, Oshkosh Airport Products, McNeilus, IMT, Oshkosh S-Series and Frontline Communications businesses. The Pierce and Maxi-Metal businesses design and manufacture commercial and custom fire apparatus. Oshkosh AeroTech designs and manufactures airport ground support equipment (GSE) and gate equipment, and provides baggage, airport facility and operations, and equipment-monitoring technology services. Oshkosh Airport Products designs and manufactures aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicles. McNeilus designs and manufactures refuse and recycling collection vehicles and components. The segment also includes IMT-branded field service vehicles and truck-mounted cranes, Oshkosh S-Series front-discharge concrete mixer vehicles and Frontline Communications-branded simulators and command vehicles.
