An update from Cooper-Standard Holdings ( (CPS) ) is now available.

On March 4, 2026, Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. issued $1.1 billion of 9.25% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2031, secured primarily by fixed assets and supported by guarantees from key domestic and select international subsidiaries. The notes, governed by restrictive covenants and detailed redemption features, reshape the company’s capital structure and tighten creditor protections around future borrowing, liens, payouts and asset sales.

Concurrently on March 4, 2026, the company amended its asset-based lending facility to adjust guarantor coverage, particularly releasing some foreign subsidiary guarantees while reaffirming senior security for domestic and Canadian obligations. Using proceeds from the new notes and cash on hand, the issuer redeemed in full three existing note series maturing in 2026 and 2027, leaving no prior notes outstanding and effectively extending its debt maturities and simplifying its secured debt stack.

The most recent analyst rating on (CPS) stock is a Hold with a $41.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cooper-Standard Holdings stock, see the CPS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on CPS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CPS is a Neutral.

The score is held back mainly by financial risk (high leverage and negative equity) and weak valuation signals tied to unprofitable GAAP earnings. Offsetting factors include improving operations and cash generation, strong technical uptrend, and a generally positive outlook with margin/FCF improvement targets plus a refinancing action that could reduce near-term maturity pressure.
