C2635sg, you simply talk rubbish, but then shorters do. If you were invested, you would not be talking this down. Speaks volumes. Filtered.

Aston Martin has set itself some ambitious targets, which if deliverable, would indicate that the shares could be worth many times their current value in a few years’ time.

Aston Martin is looking to achieve the following performance targets by 2027/28:

Revenues of £2.5bn

Gross profit margins low to mid-40s percent range

EBITDA of at least £800m – a margin of 32%.

Positive free cash flow.

Net debt/EBITDA of 1.0 times

This represents a time honoured strategy by management of listed companies. By putting numbers out there, it will encourage investors to put a valuation on the same which often underpins a very strong buying case for the shares.

No she didn't toc, she said any time after 3 months from recollection.

C2645sg I have two chartered accountants in the family thanks.

Again, what don't you get c2645sg, all car manufacturers are having difficulties with supply of parts, and are also having to pay a premium for them. Rolls has the same issue. Delay in parts/components delivery holds up production equals lost manpower hours equals paying for labour that can't be utilised. Surely you've notice the same with everything following covid, cost of kitchens has doubled if not trebled because kitchen manufacturers are having difficulties in getting wood, mdf etc from abroad, and having to pay a premium to get themselves at the front of the queue.

I would say that Hallmark has done the right thing in cutting units temporarily.

I can give you an example, my brother had a bump, he has an electric SUV, the battery was shunted slightly backwardsin the bonnet as a result and had to be replaced, and the knock was minor! it took the car dealers of the vehicle 4 months to get a replacement battery shipped in from China and fitted.

Why do I need to answer when you don't quote what I posted which was

"Issuance of debt 1,330,300

Repayment of debt -1,288,800"

You're a shorter c2645sg, why don't you answer that, as you've never denied it. So which of the 3 shorting companies are you working for? you haven't answered that either.

MCNol, no it isn't, gold ML already has a precedent set, helium doesn't so it's logical to expect it to take longer, as TG will want to have covered every base to make sure they don't get challenged, and that will take time but they are both covered under the auspices of TMOM. The problem is so many bought in expecting the ML to be decided before Christmas. I can't recollect who set that idea in motion, it was one of the ardent rampers here, but there was nothing to suggest it would be as soon as 3 months, and it wasn't. Just as there is no certainty it will be granted, although for those of us invested, we live in hope. Then the arguments will start next about the sp if it doesn't rise on the news and peeps start to jump ship. If the Company would release the FS then at least the markets would have something to work on, but they refuse to do so, and that is to the detriment of shareholders. There's no reason why they can't release it and it should be released. If TG have asked for it to be embargoed pending ML decision, that isn't fair nor just to shareholders at all imo.

Folio, a straight forward gold mine took 10 months, helium is a first, unique, so logically it would follow that it is likely to take longer as no precedent set.

Hemo, you are posting the links I posted months ago, well done, you see I do research, copiously, and I've also said that based upon caracal gold, whose mining licence took 10 months to appear, and HE1 is unique, a first so likely to take longer as there is no set precedent to work to, it's unlikely the ML will be awarded until June earliest, and that's even if it is awarded, as there is no guarantee, which you seem to fail to point out.

Nick Gibbs of autocar wrote this in September;

"New Aston Martin CEO Adrian Hallmark has made his first big impact on the company since joining on 1 September by reducing its ambitious sales forecast for 2024 by 1000 units.

Aston Martin cited supply chain disruption, weak demand in China and excess stock in dealers for the downgrade. It also said it would no longer be cashflow-positive (a measure of profitability) in the second half of the year, another change in guidance.

As recently as 28 July, the British company forecast a dramatic rise in wholesales (sales to dealers) for the second half of 2024, fuelled by a quick ramp-up of production of the new DB12, Vantage, new Vanquish and recently overhauled DBX SUV."

so I'm counterbalancing for you, but as Hallmark states it was an "ambitious" sales forecast and it was a reduction of just 1000 units. They will easily counter that with Valhalla sales imo. Even rolls royce in their year end for 2024 stated "Significantly higher operating profit and margins in a challenging supply chain environment" - note: challenging supply chain environment. Go figure the rest for youself, but I reckon AML are doing a pretty good job bearing in mind their position in the luxury car market.

It's the last year end as at end of 2023, it's not 2 years old. It's an operational business that has to finance to take itself forward, there is nothing out of the ordinary in that. Look at the total assets and total liabilities. All good.

don't see anything alarming here, nor for year end 2024, they are an operational business who have to finance operations from time to time like any business that seeks to keep on growing does so.

Furthermore, where is the problem? they are repaying debt, so where is the problem? they look pretty okay to me as an operational luxury brand business.

C2645sg I haven't been here with any other ID. You are clearly here to shout this down on behalf of one of the 3 shorting companies, which is it?

MarkPatrick, I post links, links that contain factual information which is more than you and people of your ilk do so.

I haven't been here for years for a start you idiot. You are a shorter here to cause damage on behalf of one of the 3 companies listed above. The Valhalla is going in to production shortly, all the links Ive posted about Aston are credible and factual, nothing you post is factual, end of.

Ignore the shorter c2645sg, keeping those small buys floating through. GLA.

None of you lot are doing yourselves any favours by jumping on a genuine investor, you are just showing your true colours. If someone has concerns debate it rather than jumping all over them and showing yourselves for what you are, just prolific rampers who will clear out as soon as the opportunity arises. So many of you in you disguises such as Tillywhiz posting incessantly as CP no doubt! and others! Leave you to it for today to carry on more mud slinging.

Why? when it was stating facts? which others don't state. The fact is that the Australian Govt have sent representatives to Tanzania to meet with the Ministry in support of the other mining company, mining for helium in the area, the same company that has supported education in Tanzania which is widely publicized, yet the British Govt haven't been anywhere near. I'm beginning to doubt the ML will go to HE1, beginning to think it is all a rouse, and the other company will be handed it with assistance from the Aus govt. Hope it won't be the case, but something doesn't sit right after the downcast look of the Board at the AGM, and the sudden withdrawal of the accounts, imo.
