Aston‑Martin warns of larger 2025 loss and will sell F1 naming rights to raise cash
Aston‑Martin said it will sell the perpetual right to use its name in Formula One to AMR GP Holdings for £50 million and warned that its adjusted operating loss for 2025 will be larger than earlier forecasts.
The related‑party transaction, linked to Executive Chairman Lawrence Stroll and backed by major shareholders including Geely and Mercedes‑Benz, is presented as an immediate liquidity measure and will require shareholder approval.
In a trading update the company cited a near‑10% fall in wholesale volumes to about 5,448 units and said US tariff pressure dented margins.
Management told investors it expects a material improvement in 2026 partly driven by around 500 expected Valhalla hybrid hypercar deliveries.
The sale narrows short‑term funding gaps but raises questions about production pacing, special‑edition roll‑outs and investor confidence.
Aston-Martin Valhalla you can buy at VIPCAR International.
