This free snapshot doesn't read filing or proxy text, so the auditor-quality and governance checks that can lower a grade were not evaluated (auditor quality, say on pay, board independence, going concern). Those checks only ever lower a grade, so the full analysis can land below the grade above but never above it — treat it as the most favourable reading, not the settled one.

Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. earns a C (Mixed — selective) forensic quality grade. 1 forensic signal was flagged in its latest SEC filings, led by return on invested capital.

What the filings flag

6.6%

FY2025

Return on invested capital. Return on invested capital is 6.6% in the latest fiscal year and rising across FY2023–FY2025 from 3.3%. After-tax operating profit was $36M in FY2023 and $68M in FY2025, with operating income at 1.6% of revenue in FY2023, 2.6% in FY2024 and 3.2% in FY2025. The capital base behind it went from $1.1B in FY2023 to $1.0B in FY2025 (-7%), while the revenue it carried went from $2.8B to $2.7B. FY2025's operating profit carried a $20M restructuring charge and a $369,000 asset write-down that alone took about 1.5 points off that year's return, so the latest return is depressed by that charge. FY2024's operating profit carried a $24M restructuring charge and a $713,000 asset write-down that alone took about 1.8 points off that year's return; FY2024 sits between the two ends of FY2023–FY2025, so the charge shapes the path between them without moving the change across it. A non-cash write-down lowers the reported return in the year it lands.
