Noah, talking loud and saying nothing. "The shares could go up or down". What a waste of time.
Here are more similar calculations to mine....

"As a reminder, in our January publication, we reset our target price to GBp250 with an expectation of a positive free cash flow in 2025. Since then, Aston Martin's stock price has significantly declined, and we struggle to see a scenario in which the company does not require new additional equity.
There was no change in CAPEX and D&A in late September; we forecast it to remain at £350 million and £400 million, respectively. Related to working capital requirements, we believe they will take a hit, including deposit unwind.
With no change in D&A but raising interest rates, our EBIT projections are set at minus £122 million. Additionally, we report a cash outflow in working capital of £150 million, with £30 million in additional net unwind of deposits.
Conclusion
Aston Martin is already priced in, even applying a positive 2026 financial trajectory with no execution issue. The new CEO took the right action to derisk 2024 guidance; however, there is no room for error with this visibility. We remain neutral.|
