Aston Martin Faces Financial Struggles Amid Supply Chain Issues

The luxury carmaker narrows its losses but continues to burn cash as demand in China declines.

Aston Martin reported a narrowed pre-tax loss of £12 million in the third quarter, significantly better than analysts' expectations.
The company is losing over £1 million a day, with net debt rising to £1.21 billion, reflecting ongoing financial challenges.
Supply chain disruptions and a sharp decline in demand in China have forced Aston Martin to cut its production targets by 14%.
Despite increased revenues of 8% in the third quarter, year-to-date vehicle volumes are down 17% compared to 2023.
New CEO Adrian Hallmark is focusing on cost management and quality to drive future profitability and growth.
