Aston Martin Lagonda Glo... Share Discussion Threads

Saw another DBX today... Silver rather than my previous sighting of a dark green one.
Looked a lot better in a dark colour, imho

Be interesting to see how Aston do in this weekend's F1 race...
Still not sure Vettel is the right man for the job but hope that I am proved very wrong

@Astonbroome, you still here? Thoughts please?

That's a nice write-up SwissTony. If this was Stroll turning around Lynx or Dove shower-gel then I'd say it would all come good. However, the car industry requires massive investment, strategy, and satisfying a very fickle market. I think Mercedes are waiting for administration.

[robbie_williams] 24/3/2021 17:43

It was short-term impulse.

[swiss tony] 24/3/2021 17:37

PS. What made you buy in last year, after shorting for a while?

[swiss tony] 24/3/2021 17:35

I think the same mates are the folk making 12.5% and 15% interest from the bonds.
Loan out £1.3billion and nearly double it in 5 years.

Consolidating the holders is strategic, agreed, they have the ultimate power. Adeem still have a shade under 7% of the company to sell, but Stroll is doing a decent job of matching these sales to new board members' buys.

I have doubts about the DBX too, and AML are no longer disclosing retail sales henceforth, only wholesale. This is not something you do if you are supremely confident.

I think they will succeed in turning it around, they only need to sell circa 7000+ cars to break even, 10,000 to make a healthy profit. But management stating 3/4 years to deliver this is optimistic.

Merc are laughing, win-win situation: They get 20% of AMl for doing nothing. If Moers does the same with AML as he did AMG then we shareholders gain too. If he doesn't, Merc gets the rest for a bargain.

I find it very disappointing that under Andy Palmer they made a Porsche Cayenne copy and made heritage copies from their past. The lack of forward-vision will now collapse the share price, bit-by-bit, before Mercedes take the lot - for a song.

[robbie_williams] 24/3/2021 16:37

They won't be his mates once they start losing money and feel they have to bail. I don't think the DBX is going to be the strategic product they intended and I think that confidence will go very quickly here. Fifty percent of the company (in consolidated stock) held by 'mates' is not a healthy share-register, especially as the consolidated price now takes away liquidity. Damned if it does, damned if it doesn't I know. Even if they electrify the DBX - mid life - it will be seen as nothing but a 'garage-conversion'. They've seriously misjudged the market and I think it will collapse the share price once the pot starts boiling dry.

[swiss tony] 24/3/2021 16:11

If it hits that I'll give you the money myself! ;)
Too many shares tightly held by Stroll, his mates and Merc for it to go that low. Over 50% of the company from memory.
I agree that the next 6 months will be choppy, ultimate bottom is 1280p which Merc are guaranteed, anything under £18 and I will be majorly topping up.

[robbie_williams] 24/3/2021 16:01

30p within 6-9 months. Seriously.

[swiss tony] 24/3/2021 14:34

What's your honest target Robbie Williams? Be truthful, none of this 'will halve in 3 months' nonsense, thanks.
I can see £18, but don't think it will go much lower.

[robbie_williams] 23/3/2021 17:04

Volume was too low for it to be much of a shake.

[bashor] 23/3/2021 16:46

That’s a pretty good shake today

[robbie_williams] 23/3/2021 13:06

I expect this to halve within the next 12 weeks.

[robbie_williams] 23/3/2021 12:53

The consolidation of the stock has certainly had an effect on volume but I can see this being a massive headache in the next fall. This will exacerbate it more aggressively, in my opinion.

[bashor] 22/3/2021 11:31

Much better filtered

[bashor] 18/3/2021 08:21

Finally solidly over the old £1 marker, this should rise from here if the support holds

[robbie_williams] 17/3/2021 12:13

Rumour has it that DBX is having a suspension upgrade option, to make allowance for an floorpan lawnmower. Should compete well with Land Rover.

How's your Aston Martin short doing SR aka Robbie_Williams you daft prik
