Aston Martin says it is in talks for potential funding to boost liquidity
The carmaker is seeking extra funds after another quarterly loss and a £50 million boost in April failed to ease liquidity pressure, Reuters said.
- On Friday, London-listed Aston Martin confirmed ongoing discussions with financing providers, including BlackRock-owned HPS Investment Partners, following a Bloomberg News report about potential new capital.
- Weakened demand in China and U.S. tariffs have exacerbated the carmaker's cash burn, forcing management to explore additional funding options to maintain liquidity and strategy.
- In April, Aston Martin sought a £50 million funding boost from a consortium led by shareholder Lawrence Stroll, which helped maintain liquidity at £230 million by end of March-quarter.
- Shares of the luxury automaker fell 2.3% to 36.2 pence on Friday after reports that proposed financing would involve transferring company assets through a "drop-down" transaction.
- The company stated it regularly evaluates its capital structure and strategic options, remaining focused on ensuring sufficient liquidity to support its ongoing business strategy despite current challenges.
