# Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (CPS) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Auto Components. Price $27.18, market value $483 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **PEG: 0.06**. A PEG of 0.06 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.2×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -1.0%** (5-yr avg -20.0%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 11.7%**. Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. keeps 11.7% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 2.3%**. 2.3% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: -0.2%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: 5.0%**. 5.0% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: -26.7%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -26.7%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -3.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces -3.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 0.4%**. Revenue grew 0.4% over the last year.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 94.9%**. Earnings per share rose 94.9%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Altman Z-score: 1.74**. A Z-score of 1.74 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -30.4%** (YTD -17.2%, 3-mo -7.3%). The shares are down 30.4% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -43.4%** (8.5% above the low). Trading 43% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 49**. An RSI of 49 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.78** (volatility 65%). Beta of 1.78 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
