Aston Martin 'turnaround on track' despite lossesAston Martin Lagonda has laid bare the scale of its challenge to turn around its fortunes after recording worse-than-expected losses. The luxury carmaker saw pre-tax losses widen to £88.7 million in its second quarter from £61.2 million a year ago, leaving it slumping in the red by £154.2 million overall in the first half. Underlying operating losses narrowed to £52 million in the second quarter from £57 million a year ago, but the numbers were still worse than forecast. 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. “We expect an even stronger second half, as transformation benefits flow through.”
