No recommendation - No news or research item is a personal recommendation to deal. All investments can fall as well as rise in value so you could get back less than you invest.
Aston Martin has raised around £110mn of net proceeds by issuing new equity shares at 100p per share. This represents a discount of 7.3% to the closing price on the prior day.
The group also intends to raise a further £100mn by issuing new debt. This debt will carry interest rates of above 10% on average, and will mature in 2029.
The combined £210mn of funds will be used to support the group’s “long-term growth plans” by providing “increased financial resilience.”
Due to a delay with its Valiant model, the group now expects to deliver around half of the 38 new Valiant models by the end of the year (previously the majority). As a result, full-year underlying cash profit (EBITDA) is expected to land in the £270-280mn range (2023: £305.9mn).
The shares fell 4.7% in early trading.

The London Stock Exchange does not disclose whether a trade is a buy or a sell so this data is estimated based on the trade price received and the LSE-quoted mid-price at the point the trade is placed. It should only be considered an indication and not a recommendation.
Trades priced above the mid-price at the time the trade is placed are labelled as a buy; those priced below the mid-price are sells; and those priced close to the mid-price or declared late are labelled 'N/A'.
