Aston Martin Issues Profit Warning on Tariff Impact
British luxury carmaker Aston Martin has issued a profit warning due to challenging industry conditions, including the ongoing impact of US tariffs and changes to China's ultra-luxury car taxes.
The company now expects its total wholesale volumes in 2025 to fall by a mid-high single-digit percentage compared to 2024’s 6,030 units.
Following the announcement, Aston Martin shares dropped by around 10%. The manufacturer no longer anticipates generating positive free cash flow in the second half of 2025 and is conducting a review of future costs and capital expenditures.
Additional pressures stem from supply chain uncertainties and weaker demand in North America and the Asia-Pacific region.
Despite a favorable US-UK trade deal capping tariffs on UK-made cars, the company faces ongoing challenges and anticipates improvements in profitability and cash flow in 2026.
