Analysis

Cooper-Standard Holdings (CPS) currently trades at $31.40, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $50.24, implying the stock looks roughly 60.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 47/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Cooper-Standard Holdings generated revenue of $2.8B at a net margin of -1.4%. Revenue grew 2.9% year over year. Net debt stands at $1.1B. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $50.24 (bear case) to $78.36 (bull case); at $31.40, the current price sits below that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 35% below its 52-week high and 63% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -44% fair-value upside, at 60%, CPS screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
