Most Popular Narrative: 21.9% Undervalued

The most followed valuation storyline pegs Oshkosh at a fair value of $169.07, comfortably above the recent $132.13 close, which puts the recent share pullback against a framework built around backlogs, margins, and capital returns.

Execution of a consistent capital return framework, including ongoing share repurchases and a long record of at least 10% annual dividend increases, is layered on top of management’s reaffirmed 2028 EPS target range of US$18 to 22. Together, these factors can lift per-share earnings even if revenue growth is more moderate.

Result: Fair Value of $169.07 (UNDERVALUED)
