Oshkosh (OSK) Secures $591.61 Million Contract From DoD
Read MoreHide Full Article
Oshkosh Corporation (OSK - Free Report) has won a contract worth $591.61 million from the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) to produce 1,669 Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) trucks and 868 trailers and associated kits and parts.
The government body has stated that the vehicles are to be used by all divisions of the U.S. military (Army, Marines, Air Force and Navy). It also plans to make the vehicles available to foreign countries such as Slovenia, Montenegro, Brazil and Lithuania through foreign military aid to allies.
The work is scheduled to be completed by Aug 31, 2023.
Oshkosh is a Wisconsin-based designer, manufacturer and seller of a varied range of vehicle bodies and specialty vehicles. The primary markets, which the company caters, consist of defense, concrete placement, refuse hauling, access equipment, and fire and emergency.
Oshkosh’s defense end market provides a hedge against economic cycles and disruptions. Significant program wins in its Defense segment augurs well. For instance, the 10-year contract from the United States Postal Service to modernize its fleet of postal delivery vehicles positions Oshkosh well for growth. In June, the company won U.S. Army's Stryker MCWS contract worth up to $943 million, which will also aid top-line growth.
In the last reported quarter, OSK’s Defense segment’s net sales edged up 5.1% year over year to $650.2 million, led by higher JLTV program volume and sales from the Pratt Miller acquisition.
Oshkosh’s shares have rallied 38.8% over the past year against the industry’s 32.7% decline. The company’s estimated earnings growth rate for the current year is pegged at 18.1%.
