Compass Diversified (NYSE:CODI) is one of the 8 Best Holding Company Stocks to Invest In Now.

On April 6, 2026, B. Riley analyst Timothy D’Agostino raised the price target on Compass Diversified (NYSE:CODI) to $10.50 from $8 and maintained a Neutral rating, calling the sale of the Sterno subsidiary “positive” while noting the firm is waiting on additional potential divestitures.

On March 29, 2026, Compass Diversified agreed to sell the foodservice business of its majority-owned subsidiary, SternoCandleLamp Holdings, to Archer Foodservice Partners for an enterprise value of $292.5M, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The business generated approximately $30.3M in adjusted EBITDA in 2025, including shared overhead that will remain post-transaction. The company plans to use net proceeds to repay outstanding debt and expects its senior secured net leverage ratio to fall below 1.0x following closing. Compass Diversified also expects to avoid fees tied to excess leverage beyond June 30. After the sale, the company will retain Sterno’s home fragrance segment, which will continue operating as Rimports, a Provo, Utah-based manufacturer and distributor of branded and private-label home fragrance products. The transaction is subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close in May 2026.

Earlier in March, Raymond James re-initiated coverage of Compass Diversified (NYSE:CODI) with a Market Perform rating and no price target following a restatement tied to accounting unreliability at the Lugano subsidiary. The firm said there “remains much work to be done” as the company proceeds with divestitures and works to return to compliance with its credit agreements.
