MM is no doubt looking to do a deal that he benefits from - its the usual way of things. I personally would like closure on this so anything North of 90p would be OK.

No one in the market thinks going to happen anytime soon though as we sit at 32p. Could it change fast - I am doubtful as MM controls the game. Could he get support at below 90p - I doubt it.

Net result more of the same. Roll on Q1 in April. Direction of travel will be clearer then I suspect.

Fave scene from Layer Cake. Seems appropriate:

Your well put post ignores sadly the financial reality of AML and the options it has available. The truth here is current investors have been used to a large extent to allow AML to survive, develop the current range of cars, dealerships, inventory, marketing etc.

Those investors deserve some credit for that at the least but it will not change the reality for AML - its financially sinking. I have no doubt it will survive but only after DfE and a major restructure - St Athan gone and maybe DBX with it.

@ AML_007

I genuinely feel for you Paul, you have been contradicting the reality of AML for years, endlessly trawling through posts and doing that whole cut n paste thing you love as the sp has gone from £2 to 43p and falling.

How you have managed to avoid recognising you have been wrong all this time is remarkable.

May as well stay till the end - going down with the ship is I suspect all you have left.

"Let’s see where things lead, could this be the bottom? Who knows but AML are still part of my portfolio at present. "

Glad to hear Stocky. Please tell me you have averaged down, better yet you have doubled down. At some point I very much hope you go 'all in'.

Catch you at 30p which I think will be before the end of March if not sooner.

AML are going to zero. I have seen this enough times but none are so clear IMO as this stock.

Genuine sympathy to all those who got taken in by the lies AML told and one Mr Stroll snr in particular. I appreciate many hold very small sums here - a badge of honour to perhaps to own the shares even if you cannot afford the cars, but for others who will seriously miss the capital sell and never look back. Not at 20p or even 10p which this will go past - simply never.

#HTH

Agreed c26 - my post to our fake Swiss poster was removed at his request. My guess its Stocky but there are others equally up to their proverbials here that want to claim blacks white.

@ AML_SAVE-A-BRAND

I feel you are falling into the trap of liking the product and buying the company. The product is without doubt the best its ever been (AML made some rubbish in the past - Virage and DB7 come to mind) but the company in its current form is effectively bust.

I have no doubt AML deshackled of its 1.4bln debts and able to share/pinch R&D from Mercedes plus a good dose of German manufacturing efficiency would transform AML into a profitable division. But thats for another day. It will be of very little consolation to you with your worthless shares.

Suggest instead of buying shares go and buy an Aston. After all its got a £100k subsidy on each model you look at!

SSO run the numbers albeit with less than their usual flourish. Summary looks a bit like mine - car line up looks good but for lots of reasons its not working. DBX production has to be in serious doubt and Valhalla sales look flat. Oh and the Lucid deal is going to be a financial time bomb this year......

As sad as it appears for all holders here IMO AML have zero chance of recovery in its current form. DfE looks like the only way out with ideally Mercedes deciding they would like a new hobby located in Warwickshire.

Heres the report:

RE: 6 pence a share19 Feb 2026 10:03

Stocky lets catch up when we go through into the 40's. Which AML will.

Speak soon. XXX

All todays discussions have disappeared.

Hello our German chum.

The bad news here is AML are in effect bust and the shares in time worthless. AML will survive with a debt wipeout and with some serious reorganisation may yet make a profit but that will be for the new owners to enjoy.

Current shareholders are toast. Sell while its still in the 50's. I suspect 30's will be with us before Summer and the end will come this year.

Bet you he will claim he sold when for a nano second he was in profit. Thats dragger's for you I'm afraid.

I take no pleasure in AML's seemingly endless financial issues. Much of what they have tried to do makes sense and yet the outcomes never change - indeed I think have got worse.

If I were to pick a point when AML went off the tracks it would be the last Vantage - the front was goping, the rear messy and the price too much. It stayed on sale too long only replaced with essentially the same car but with the styling issues resolved. Mistake.

Mistake number 2 and more expensive - DBX. Again the styling is a mess to my eyes, Ford Kuga on steroids at the front, god alone knows what at the rear. It is singularly failing - IIRC Stroll was targetting sales of 6000 per annum. last year 1717 down on 2024.

DBX needs a restyle and St Athan needs to close - return production to Ga*don. I think the rest of the model range has at least 5 years in them in design terms and the specials are without doubt desirable if IMO over priced.

Whatever they do the 20% headcount reduction is not enough. I fear circumstance has now gone beyond their control and insolency beckons which is a real shame given what Ford's investment gifted them pre 2009. It should have worked.

I appreciate our recent resident tranny will still be in denial but he was just the latest in a seemingly long line of people whose infatuation with AML (I personally blame the James Bond connection for such delusions) blinded them to the reality of the position there are in and indeed have been post IPO.

The potted version looking forward they are toast - the current cash and assets to sell will be gone and the stomach to stump up for rights issues along with it. At that point AML are insolvent and bankruptcy no8 will have arrived.

The time frame for this just got shorter after today. I recall telling folk to leave and never look back at 90p. The message sadly remains the same.

Just shy of half a billion down the pan making 5226 cars. That takes some doing.

Anyhooo its a depressing read and again promises jam tomorrow but with a fairly grim economic back drop I suspect even Stroll sees that for what it is.

Money wise debts up, revolving credit ratio near doubled depsite capex (ie new cars/updates) down.

Its as bad as I thought.

@ UKCorp - That has to be the concern although if he did delist shareholders could still trade their shares and perhaps then and only then would true value be achieved.

Either way the reaction today is muted and that is due IMO to Mr Moulding and no one else.

I think MM would have to put a small cherry on that number but my guess is 60-65p.

That would be the most cynical long game asset play I will have seen in close to forty years of watching this game. My money is thats exactly what will now happen. THG fan bois can then get on with what remains of their lives.

So a win in some ways.

£1.71 - would be nice but will never happen. Halve it and you will be closer I suspect.

Either way I reckon the end of THG is close as a Plc. However it plays out it will not llok pretty for OG investors. Those in at 30p odd might just raise a smile. Not so much the rest.

I hold 725k so plenty of skin in this game.
