"4 billion pounds in buybacks and nothing to show, what a bargain 9p discount as well this year"

24 months ago when Charlie Nunn became CEO share price was 45.63p today after 4bn in buybacks and interest rates at 5% the share price is 43.68p that's a 4% drop shareholders would of been better off with a special payment as I can spend it or reinvest as I please

The buyback has done nothing for the small investors some will say it increased the value of you holding but investors haven't gained anything

Fitch Ratings has moved the US debt rating from triple A to double A plus, citing worsening fiscal conditions and governance.

The question remains how to put a price on the company. Aston’s current enterprise value is just under 2 times forecast 2024 sales, a discount to Porsche, and far below Ferrari’s (RACE.MI) more than 8 times multiple. It could justify a richer price tag than its current mark, thanks to a suite of new cars and mid-term gross margin target of around 45%.
