Transcript

Aston Martin, the home of James Bond is on the verge of bankruptcy again. And yes, I am saying again, because actually, I bet you didn't know that this company has been bankrupt seven times. And yeah, it's going downhill for the company again. They reported a pre-tax loss of 154 million just for the first half of 2026. Aston Martin also have huge problems with debt. They currently have 1.3 billion of debt. Aston Martin were actually only just bailed out in July. They received a 550 million debt financing deal. I mean, just look at it in terms of investment. Aston Martin stock is down 99.88% since 2019. People were buying shares for £280. You can now buy shares for 34p. I mean, if this company could turn around, this could be the most amazing buying opportunity, but I can't see it myself. I mean, let's be honest, Aston Martin have struggled for over 100 years. The first time it went bankrupt was in 1924. So, yeah, sad times for Aston Martin. Beautiful cars, a prestigious company. But, yeah, I won't be investing in it.
