Read MoreHide Full Article
Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (CPS - Free Report) reported adjusted earnings of 31 cents per share in second-quarter 2019, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.11 per share.

In the quarter under review, sales of $765 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $820 million. The year-ago quarter’s figure amounted to $928 million.
