Oshkosh Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Access: Access segment sales declined 18.6% year over year to $1.11 billion, primarily due to lower sales volume in North America and higher discounts. The metric also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.18 billion.
Operating income decreased 43.2% year over year to $118 million, representing 10.6% of sales compared with 15.2% in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to reduced volume and discounts. The metric also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $126 million.

Operating income increased 42.3% to $141.7 million, representing 14.6% of sales compared with 12.2% a year earlier. This rise was supported by higher volume and favorable pricing. The metric, however, missed our estimate of $144 million.
Transport: Transport segment recorded an 8.8% rise in sales to $587.9 million, benefiting from the ramp-up of the U.S. Postal Service’s Next Generation Delivery Vehicle production, higher international tactical wheeled vehicle sales and a one-time intellectual property (IP) license to the U.S. government.
