Aston Martin Lagonda case study

Abstract

This project is divided between a case study about Aston Martin Lagonda (AML) and the correspondent Teaching Note. AML is a centenary luxury auto brand known for the exceptional design and power of its cars and the recurrent financial difficulties. After going public on the London Stock Exchange, AML faced poor operational performance and financial distress, leading to a rescue finance at the beginning of 2020. The Case Study raises questions about the reasons to take the company public, the IPO valuation, the factors that led AML close to bankruptcy, the impact of financial distress, and the rescue deal.
