George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
Sorry C2645 it is only in the magazine hard copy .... I am sure a man of your stature can purchase one. It's a good read...
Hi Chat, also as previously mentioned by Tobias and Gregor the operation cost savings are now starting to have a positive impact on the balance sheet. Highlighted by Puffer in previous chat ( thank you Puffer ).
Hi Chat, if you look at the data from previous years for wholesale figures Q1 this year were very positive( Details below ), Q2 also seems to be following the same trend, although German lock down may have an impact in Europe.
Q1 Total Wholesale
Q1 - 2021 1,353
Q1 – 2020 578
Q1 – 2019 1,057
Q1 – 2018 963
UK 2021 - 272 2020 - 229 2019 – 235 2018 - 259
EMEA 2021 - 284 2020 – 148 2019 – 211 2018 - 219
APAC 2021 - 366 2020 – 94 2019 – 361 2018 - 277
AMER 2021 - 431 2020 – 107 2019 – 250 2018 - 208
Look forward to seeing the H2 results next month, I believe the sales figures will better than you have anticipated C2645. We shall see.... I read ( Car Magazine ) also that we are now saving probably 30-50% more on Mercedes / AMG parts with the new deal since Tobias joined, that's a saving.
Lot's of new product updates to look forward to, so looking good from where I am sitting.
Just bagged a few more... looks as if the auto industry had a bumpy ride this week including Daimler, VAG & Ferrari , but AML oversold today IMO. unlike c2645 I have some confidence in this Quarter sales figures. Everything I see and read all very positive ... even Adeem is not a major concern.
Great management team leading new design and technical staff joining from AMG and Bentley.
CJ , that did make me laugh ... :o)
Thought I better be safe and get the kids to bed first…
Love it, he’s cruising in his DBX while his Mum is in the DBS.
Looking forward to seeing the promo video of that ….
Doit you are a Cool dude :)
Feel for Lance as he was doing so well after a hard qualifying day. Another great performance by Seb and good to see him back on form.
Nice bit of promotion for Aston Martin again this weekend.
Same old C2645..... Yawn !
C2645, I have no reason to lie. By all means call them and check the stock ... Rodger Laing will be pleased to help you I am sure along with the Workshop Manager who may assist you with that big chip on you shoulder.
How sad, I like many others value your and others opinion and information but you just rubbish what doesn’t suit you...
Still it’s the weekend now, weather is lovely... so have a nice weekend all.
I popped in to Aston Martin Edinburgh today to enquire how sales were going. Had a pleasant chat with two members of staff who both highlighted the de stocking and sale to order impact over the last 6 months, currently they just can’t get enough stock to meet demand.
Both staff members I spoke to had been with Aston Martin Edinburgh for a number of years and they were very positive on the changes made in the last year along with the DBX launch. Used Astons are selling as soon as they receive them in as trade in also.
It nice to see your data Richard and TP back this up. Sales seem to be going well, let’s hope it’s the same globally.
Totally :)
C2645, you quoted the figure note me ... I said " will contribute towards the bond and interest payment" Thank you and have a good day.
C2645 you are correct Valkyrie is due in H2, I should have said possibly Q3 ;). I believe you have greatly underestimated Tobias’s operational savings, I can’t quantify as data has not been published and I am sure if I quoted a figure you would questioned how this was worked out.
Q2 results will have bond and interest payments due, this is planned in so nothing new ... we just have to await the sales figures, which you perhaps cautiously underestimate again along with savings. Have a nice evening and top up that glass.
C2645, no idea but I am sure it all counts. It would be nice to quantify... but let’s see what the Q2 result brings and we will have a better idea then.
Regarding Valkyrie, I am sure the whole team understand the importance of launch and quality. Tobias has given a timeframe for customer handover commencing in Q3 so he must have confidence.
As do I .... :o)
I believe we are on target after Q1 results for hitting our 6000 units target, however we will know a great deal more after Q2.
I am hoping that the 30-40% cost savings Tobias has stated in his recent presentations to motoring journalists will contribute towards the bond and interest payments.
I am also looking forward to see the new DBX variants due in Q3 and early 2022 but what I have seen and heard so far the current model is selling very well and as we know received very positive press.
Good to see the positive recent share price movement.
I am sure as has been said when Adeem has moved on this SP will consolidate and move forward.
Looking forward to F1 this weekend... GLA
It looks like a £6.5 m after hours trade. A lot of positive auto publicity this week ...
Dunnie/Tiny, my thoughts exactly... they got my vote.
Great result and good to see Seb back on form.
Making tough decisions isn’t always popular, but they need to be made and this is the right man for that job.
