Aston Martin Lagonda has posted worse-than-expected losses, revealing the scale of its challenge to turn around its fortunes. Adrian Hallmark, Aston Martin chief executive, said: ‘First half 2026 demonstrates that we are on track to deliver material financial improvement this year compared with 2025. ‘Second quarter 2026 total wholesale volumes increased by 43% compared to the prior year period.’ He added: ‘We expect an even stronger second half, as transformation benefits flow through and Specials deliveries continue.’ London-listed Aston Martin has been pushing forward with efforts to turn performance around under Canadian billionaire Stroll.
