Oshkosh Corporation (OSK) stock is soaring 5.13% in pre-market trading on Friday, following the release of its impressive second-quarter results and an optimistic outlook for the full year. The specialty vehicle manufacturer has successfully navigated challenges in the global trade environment, boosting investor confidence.
The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $3.41 for the second quarter, significantly surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $2.94. This represents a 15.79% beat and a 2.1% increase from the same period last year. Quarterly sales came in at $2.73 billion, exceeding the expected $2.66 billion and demonstrating Oshkosh's resilience in a complex market landscape.
Adding to the positive sentiment, Oshkosh has raised its full-year 2025 guidance. The company now projects adjusted earnings of $11 per share, reverting to its original January forecast. This upward revision reflects Oshkosh's ability to offset anticipated tariff impacts through company-wide cost reduction actions. CEO John Pfeifer expressed confidence in the company's strategy, stating, "Despite ongoing uncertainties in the global trade environment, we remain confident in our ability to navigate these challenges while delivering value for customers and shareholders." The raised outlook, combined with strong quarterly performance, has clearly resonated with investors, driving the stock's substantial pre-market gain.
