We ain’t stupid, we know exactly who you are.

Same old nonsense, different ID.

Still gambling and talking carp on here, still losing money.

150 valhallas at 850k is 127m quid.

firstly, you have no idea how much of a deposit aml have already taken on these cars (they have taken 2 deposits before they start manufacturing, so let's say 1/3 of the purchase price is a deposit).

that leaves 600k ish times 100 cars (no way will they get 150 out the door in 2025).

60m income, that goes straight out the door again for the interest payment on the debt, which is 75m in q4.

aml is as screwed as the uk treasury dept. so much interest on the debt you can't grow ****.

The only way to make a profit is:

Replace Stroll.

Close one factory, reduce the overheads considerably.

Charge the F1 team £20-25m per year to use the Aston Martin name. (If Stroll had any charitable bones in his body, he would have made the F1 team part of the Aston Martin group, like Ferrari).

Stop loading dealers to hit sales targets, which improves scarcity/exclusivity and therefore increases second hand values

Improve dealerships, the customer experience stops being positive upon the sale. The horror stories on PistonHeads, FT comments section and other discussion forums is scathing. Customer problems are ignored. People have had to resort to asking for money back as problem are not fixed on new cars.

More derivatives like Hallmark is putting into action.

More personalisation.

Stope selling cars which are beset with problems, it costs more to fix them than get it right in the first place, and damages customer relations and trust in the brand. ie let the share price take a hit from delays to get cars right rather than rushing cars out the door to keep the 'market' happy.

This is why it should probably be a private company, most of the list above is UNACHIEVABLE as a listed company, whereas if it was private, all are achievable.

Taking it private means no-one makes their money back, least of all the most recent idiot who thinks cheap prices mean it's a bargain and worth buying. Prices reflect the nightmare the company is in.

Another cash raise is close folks....

PS on the Valhalla, it has not had regulatory clearance in the US yet and thats a good chunk of the sales in 2025.

The Valhalla also has huge problems with leaks from the doors and software/electronics problems.

Apart from that.... total bargain of a share.

Bought more at 59p when you know very little about the company!

Told you, an idiot throwing good money after bad.

Or a terrible actor getting paid to post, trying to influence others to do the same.

It won’t work with me around.

That’s my point. Gambling when you know nothing about anything is only going to end one way: losing money.

Then asking random strangers online what comes next, would you believe them even if they told you?

I have been saying it for years and he thought he knew better.

More fool him. I would like to think a lesson has been learned, but who knows.

What’s going on?

You’re an idiot and bought shares in a basket case company.

Now you’re looking for answers like a spoilt kid throwing a tantrum.

If you have to ask others what happens next YOU SHOULD NOT BE INVESTING IN ANYTHING!

Hallmark's cards are marked ;)

It's a car crash of a company now, so many terrible decisions from a megalomaniac chairman thinking he just has to say positive things (instead of actually doing positive things) to improve the situation.

The chumps owed 1.6 billion are bond holder and hold all the cards. Equity holders will lose the lot before bond holders lose a cent.

Especially if the bond holder is Stroll.

Making 10.5% a year on those bonds, 1.1bn over 5 years. Not bad huh?

While all the kids on here weep at losing money on their equity holding.

You couldn’t make it up.

Let'a forget about driving Asprey & Garrard to bankruptcy and failing to hit every single metric he promised in 5 years at AML.

He has trebled the debt. I was banging on about it years ago, now everyone agrees it's a huge problem.

It's only going one way, bondholders always get paid.

Debt costing 55m per quarter, 220m per year.

The same debt is making the bond holder that amount of money every year.

Who do you think is pocketing 220m in interest every year, making 1.1bn over 5 years?

If it’s not stroll, I’ll stop posting here ;)

He is using the Aston Martin name to make himself wealthy at the expense of everyone else.

Stille you have no clue, and don't want to learn, you just keep banging on about brand value.

Have you seen the gross debt is now £1.6 Billion? Losing hundreds of millions per year, 150m interest payment per year and you're still banging on about brand value.

What's the brand value if it goes into liquidation and you lose all your equity?

Idiot.

Stroll promised when he took over there would be 10,000 car sales, 2bn turnover, 500m EBITDA.

That has turned out to be 4850 sales, LESS THAN HALF.

Revenue around 1bn, HALF.

EBITDA of 8m in 9 months, so let's say 12m for the year. A FRACTION of 500m promised.

All this while he takes the Aston name, builds a £2-3bn privately owned F1 team with it, pulling in massive amounts of sponsorship money, while screwing AML shareholders to the tune of £20m per year for the privilege.

What a guy!

Remember when Stroll said £2bn in electrification over 5 years? That is now chopped to 1.7bn. Still completely unsustainable. If it hadn't been for Stroll's nonsense hyperbole raising expectations to ridiculous levels, AML would NOT be in this position of having to backtrack.

They signed a deal with Lucid too, wasting 182m and what has come of that?

Terrible management, awful chairman, ruining a great company.

Luxury car maker Aston Martin has cut its investment plans amid efforts to bring down costs in the face of widening losses.

The UK firm also said it is reviewing its strategy for future models as sales tumbled further in the face of pressure from US tariffs and weak demand in China.

Aston Martin Lagonda told shareholders it will cut its five-year investment commitment from £2 billion to £1.7 billion as it launched a review into costs and capital expenditure.

The car company, known for its association with the James Bond franchise, said it is also investing £350 million into its operations this year, in the latest cut to its spending plans.

Earlier this month the company said it was on track for £375 million of investment, having already pulled back from a previous £400 million target.

The company reported revenues had slid by 27% to £285.2 million for the quarter to September 30, compared with a year earlier.

The drop was driven by weaker wholesale volumes, which fell by 13% to 1,430 vehicles for the quarter.

The weakness was driven by “heightened challenges in the global macroeconomic environment” which weighed down on demand, as well as pressure from US tariffs.

Sales volumes were weaker than expected across “most regions” during the quarter, as it reported that UK sales volumes slid by 32%.

Gross debt now 1,629.8 up from 1,522.3.

£1.6298 BILLION POUNDS OF DEBT!

It was c.400m when Stroll took over.

What an absolute clown he is.

Remember Q4 has the 2nd debt interest payment of £75m due, so Q4 will be worse than Q3.

Cash raise won't be far off now at all.

Wholesales are down 13%.

It's supposed to be an amazing new range of cars?

AML have burned through £415m YTD.

Unbelievable. So much for the best core range in AML's recent history.

So much for the F1 exposure to billions of people.

So much for Stroll hyperbole of 10,000 sales, 2bn turnover and 500m EBITDA.

This company is in a sorry state and you only have Stroll to blame.

He just likes ramping because he is underwater. Hope is not a strategy. That's just gambling.

He thinks words on this BB can influence the market.

Don't be like Chris.

He sounds a bit like Webley....
