Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 56.5/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1086 of 7,333 stocks, CPS presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
CPS's quality score of 42/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -34.1% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 12.1% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -0.7% (sector avg: 1.0%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
CPS's value score of 67/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 5.29x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
With an investment score of 43/100, CPS exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 3931.4% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -1.0% (sector: 0.9%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
CPS shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 73/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at 3931.4% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.36 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
CPS's stability score of 37/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.36. Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 47/100 for CPS suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.36), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $651M market cap (small-cap), Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. is a small-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1086 of 7,333 overall (85th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -34.1% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 4.0% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While CPS currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
