Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc ( (GB:AML) ) has shared an announcement.
Aston Martin Lagonda has agreed in principle to sell the perpetual right to use the Aston Martin name and chassis designation for the Aston Martin F1 Team to AMR GP Holdings for £50 million, alongside certain F1-specific branding rights. The transaction, classed as a substantial property and related-party deal due to Executive Chairman Lawrence Stroll’s links to AMR GP, requires shareholder approval, which is effectively secured with investors holding 54.27% of the stock already committed to vote in favour.
In a trading update for 2025, the company reported wholesale volumes of 5,448 units, down from 6,030 a year earlier, with lower high-margin specials and U.S. tariffs weighing on results and adjusted EBIT expected to come in slightly below the low end of analyst estimates. However, cost-cutting measures reduced operating expenses and capex, liquidity held broadly flat at £250 million, and management expects the naming-rights proceeds plus a richer product mix, including about 500 Valhalla deliveries, to drive a material improvement in financial performance in 2026.
The board’s independent directors, advised by Goldman Sachs International, have deemed the naming-rights sale fair and reasonable for shareholders under UK Listing Rules. The deal monetises Aston Martin’s Formula 1 brand association while preserving its long-term sponsorship arrangement, potentially strengthening the balance sheet as the group pursues its ongoing transformation programme and expanded model line-up in a challenging market.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AML) stock is a Buy with a £110.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc stock, see the GB:AML Stock Forecast page.

Aston Martin’s overall stock score reflects significant financial challenges, including high leverage and ongoing losses, which weigh heavily on its financial performance.
