Aston Martin Secures £125 Million Through F1 Stake Sale and Yew Tree Investment

Lawrence Stroll's Yew Tree Consortium increases its stake to 33% as the luxury carmaker works to stabilize finances and address mounting losses.

Aston Martin is raising over £125 million through the sale of its minority stake in the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One team and a £52.5 million investment from Lawrence Stroll's Yew Tree Consortium.
Stroll's stake in Aston Martin has increased from 27.7% to 33%, with plans to potentially raise it further to 35%, pending regulatory approval for a takeover rule waiver.
The company reaffirmed its sponsorship and branding presence in Formula One despite the stake sale, which is expected to generate at least £74 million.
Aston Martin has revised its 2025 sales forecast to 'modest growth,' citing the impact of new U.S. tariffs and weak demand in key markets like China.
Shares of Aston Martin rose by up to 13% following the announcement, reflecting cautious investor optimism about the company's financial turnaround efforts.
