AML

Sharecast - The bank said it was upgrading the shares "ahead of a 24-month period during which we expect steady progress".

Through to the end of 2024, Goldman expects Aston Martin to unveil one new core model every quarter, creating an unprecedented pipeline.

"Over the same period, new specials should help to bolster higher average selling prices, gross margins and ultimately EBITDA," it said.

GS expects the luxury car maker to deliver 2H23 adjusted EBITDA of €244mn, a run-rate close to AML’s €500mn 2024/25 target.

"As AML introduces its next-generation products, we forecast a step forward in ASPs and gross margins," GS said.

"We believe solid initial sales of core models and the contribution from specials provide a degree of certainty over AML’s 2024 financials, and ‘an option’ on medium-term success.

"However, for greater conviction that AML can achieve ASPs and margins consummate with the luxury peer group on a sustained basis, we believe it is necessary to assess waitlists, ASPs and volumes more than 12 months after new products launch."

Goldman noted that despite the year-to-date performance, AML shares are down 37% since the start of 2022.

"We do not believe the share price gives full credit to AML meeting its near-term (2024/25) targets," it said. "On average, we see AML reaching these targets with £2.1bn in revenue and £515mn of adjusted EBITDA."

At 1020 BST, the shares were up 5.5% at 349p.
