These are not happy times for Aston Martin. The British luxury carmaker is fighting ferociously for its survival in a highly competitive space. However, the blows just keep coming. The latest big whack was in the form of hugely disappointing Q3 2022 Financial results. In November 2022, the company reported a pretax loss of $259.4 million compared with a loss of $121.2 million a year prior. Net debt also increased to $1.03 billion, even though Aston Martin raised $776 million in September 2022 partly to offset existing debt.

Share prices plummeted, and industry analysts pinned the hope of a revival on the ability of the carmaker to secure a new partner or additional funding.
