Description: CPS Cooper Stnd December 28, 2025
Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (NYSE:CPS) designs, manufactures, and sells a broad portfolio of sealing, fuel- and brake-delivery, and fluid-transfer systems for the global automotive market. Through its subsidiary, the company produces metal, plastic, and wire-carrier seals, rubber and silicone gaskets, and a range of hoses and lines that serve passenger cars and light trucks in OEM and aftermarket channels across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and South America.
Recent public filings show CPS generated **$3.1 billion of revenue in FY 2023**, with an **adjusted EBITDA margin of ~7.5 %** and a **free cash flow conversion of roughly 85 %** of EBITDA, indicating solid cash generation despite a modest operating margin. The business is sensitive to **OEM production volumes**, which have been rebounding after the 2023 supply-chain disruptions, and to **raw-material price volatility** (e.g., rubber and specialty plastics). A key sector driver is the **accelerating shift toward electrified powertrains**, which is reshaping demand for high-temperature and chemically resistant fluid-transfer components, particularly in brake-by-wire and battery-cooling systems.
