Aston Martin posted third-quarter revenue of 388.7 million pounds, up 36 percent from a year earlier, Investing.com reported on Oct. 28. Growth was driven by the Valhalla hybrid supercar, with 127 delivered in the quarter. Total wholesales were nearly flat at 1,431 vehicles, while volumes of the other models fell to 1,304 from 1,428.
The adjusted pre-tax loss narrowed to 75.6 million pounds from 106.9 million a year earlier, but was wider than analysts had expected. Gross margin rose to 37.4 percent from 29 percent, according to Investing.com. Net debt climbed to 1.57 billion pounds at the end of September; Aston Martin also took on 550 million pounds in new loans and cut its 2026-2030 investment plan to about 1.7 billion pounds from about 2 billion.
CEO Adrian Hallmark cited "tangible and consistent progress" and said he expects the momentum to continue "into Q4 and beyond." Full-year targets are unchanged, including wholesales in line with 2025's 5,448 vehicles and about 500 Valhalla deliveries.
