CPS Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc

$CPS crooks already raped the options this weak. Now leave it for dead. They're are some nasty toxic funds in this. Most toxic I've ever seen. 1 or 2% bounce after a 6 dollar dump is toxic as fuck.

$CPS looking spicy Options traders diving into those one-week $25 calls after that nearly 9% weekly drop Spotted a tight cluster of 2,266 September 18 $25 call sweeps lifted at the ask on InsiderFinance This isn't just hedging, it's an aggressive upside play With CPS down about 9.4% over 5 days but up around 1.7% today, it’s setting up for a potential bounce That ABL amendment boosting commitments to $200M is a solid liquidity move, extending maturity to 2031 This could really cap the downside and support the bullish positioning here Watch those tight stops though The 5D downtrend is still in play

$CPS Interesting setup with the market giving absolutely no confidence in management’s ’26 guidance and ’28 target. It is hard to model $80M of cost takeouts when gross margin has contracted for 4 quarters. Insiders are unwilling to buy shares, but lenders are fully supporting the company with the refinance this spring and today’s SEC filing. There was the Novelis fire and oil volatility, but there are many tailwinds and catalysts which should be driving operating performance: stable vehicle sales and assemblies, rebounding production at F and STLA, new business awards, Chinese OEM business, and growing hybrid volumes. Oddly enough, external factors outside of control are a tailwind while the company has failed to deliver on internal factors within its control, its variable cost structure. If management actually knows what they are doing and not just spinning a narrative it should show up in quarterly reports.

$CPS Earnings should be the last Thursday of this month. This should run over $26 into earnings. I think 20% gain minimum from here in 3 weeks

$CPS sub 20 next week. Criminals told you today the algo isn't changing. Most suppressing toxic shit I've ever seen.

$CPS keep in mind... these criminals don't trade the stock up on option week. It'll trade down more next week.

$CPS GM’s decision to expand hybrids in the U.S. is a strong read-through because GM is one of Cooper-Standard’s largest customers. CPS has said hybrid vehicles can carry roughly 50% more Fluid Handling content per vehicle than comparable ICE models. If GM rolls hybrids across more high-volume platforms, CPS could benefit from higher content per vehicle, better mix, and incremental revenue growth. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/10/05/gm-hybrid-vehicles.html

$CPS Any CPS veterans here able to comment on concerns that Canada is (historically) our biggest export customer for auto sales, and therefore any stocks adjacent to the US auto industry are vulnerable?

$CPS Once $25 resistance broke, stop loss capitulation to $20 was probable. Nothing wrong with the market tho. Edwards and Banas said they could triple EBITDA in 3-5 years and after 4 quarters EBITDA, nominal and margin contracted. Market is giving no credibility to the company and positioning for guidance cut. Good news is a lot of resistance has been removed if 2H26 EBITDA actually comes in at $180M. If 2028 EBITDA of $425M looks achievable, the stock is a moonshot. It appears management released those 2030 and 2028 targets to boost the stock price in front of the note refinance this spring. Well it worked, but now stock is tanking since quarterly reports still suck. I am wondering where the $80M in cost reduction will come from. Has to be COGS since SG&A is already lean. Also, hybrid volumes have tripled in 36 months but it is all with Japanese and Korean OEMs. It does not appear any of this volume is on CPS platforms.
