Aston Martin's recent profit warning sent shockwaves through the luxury automotive market. The company revised its profit forecast for the 12 months ending December 2024, now expecting profits of up to £280 million, a sharp decrease from the £305.9 million it posted the previous year. The primary culprit behind the reduced forecast is the delay in the delivery of its high-end Valiant supercars, which can fetch up to £2 million each. The delay in these high-ticket items has pushed back deliveries until early 2025, depriving Aston Martin of significant revenue in the final quarter of this year.
