Roughly a week ago the automotive industry heard from the British car maker that Aston Martin’s sales and profit forecast was a miss with sales plummeting in Europe. Even last week a deal fell through for Aston Martin while selling their design drawings of the Vanquish to Morgan another UK automaker. This deal would have made AM $24 million.
Bloomberg reported that the UK automaker’s shares tumbled 22 percent this past week after the news broke that their first-quarter had a operating loss. Bloomberg noted that this is a 55 percent drop since the company was valued at $5.3 billion in the London Stock Exchange during Q4 of 2018.
