Standpoint Research upgraded Oshkosh (NYSE: OSK) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $28.00.

Analyst, Ronnie Moas, said, "As we all know -- a low P/S is not a reason on its own to go into a stock as it may be a value trap situation involving a company with a deteriorating profit margin. OSK appears to be in the opposite situation that can oftentimes produce significant earnings surprises with its low P/S and expectations for rising margins...OSK is a high beta name and we will need a rising market to do well on this one. We are currently underweight in this sector and it is appropriate for those in this situation. If you are already overweight here I would be more careful in your place. Either drop something to make room for OSK or go into OSK gradually."
