Oshkosh Q3 diluted EPS falls to $2.22; 2026 adjusted EPS outlook cut to $8.50-$9.50
Oshkosh reported third-quarter 2026 sales of $2.84 billion, up 5.7 percent, but net income fell to $138.4 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, from $196.2 million, or $3.04, a year earlier. The company lowered its full-year 2026 adjusted earnings per share expectation to $8.50 to $9.50, citing short-term challenges in fire truck production, which matters to shareholders because it reduces expected profit for the year.
