(BFM Stock Exchange) – The luxury car manufacturer issued a new warning on results on Monday, referring to the American customs duties as well as the postponement of deliveries of its Hypercar Valhalla.

The manufacturer of the famous Aston Martin DB5, the famous James Bond car in the films with Sean Connery, is most bad on the stock market.

Aston Martin fell 7% on the London Stock Exchange late Monday morning, after warning of an aggravation of its annual loss, the luxury car manufacturer citing a lower than expected demand in North America and Asia-Pacific, as well as the impact of American customs duties.

The British group indicated that its annual loss would now exceed 110 million pounds (126.64 million euros), marking a strong deterioration compared to July, when the manufacturer had already warned that customs duties were “extremely disruptive?”.

At the time, Aston Martin provided that its adjusted operating profit would roughly reach the profitability threshold for 2025, against previous expectations of a positive benefit.

The “Valhalla” will have to wait

Aston Martin declared to evolve in a difficult environment, citing American customs duties, Chinese taxes on luxury cars and the risk of supply linked to a computer incident at its competitor Jaguar Land Rover.

Aston Martin now provides a drop in 2025 volumes of an average percentage high to a figure (mid-to-high single-diagit) and reduces its capital expenses, while no longer expecting a positive generation of cash flow available in the second half.

The US customs system based on quotas that Great Britain has agreed with Washington complicated financial planning, said Aston Martin, the group adding to obtain support from the British government to protect manufacturers from small volumes.

The company also announced that deliveries of its “hypercar” Valhalla will begin in the fourth quarter with approximately 150 units, below forecasts due to delays related to engineering and regulatory authorizations, while providing normal proceedings of deliveries in 2026.

According to JPMorgan, the downward revision of Aston Martin’s 2025 forecasts, due to the low demand, the impact of American customs duties and pressures on the supply chain, also implies a reduction of more than 23% compared to the expectations of the consensus.

“For many years, Aston Martin has failed to find the balance on the razor thread that characterizes its status as a small luxury car manufacturer spending,” said Bernstein analysts.
