The Wall Street Journal reports that Aston Martin will announce an IPO as early as August 29. It plans to raise as much as $1.5 billion on a $6.4 billion valuation through the offering of shares on the London Stock Exchange. Presumably, the costs of developing next-generation cars, including SUVs, and the challenges of electrification and autonomous technology, necessitate the fundraising effort. Aston Martin has annual sales of approximately 6300 cars and $1 billion, so it is a tiny player in the global pantheon of OEMs. It is about 2/3 the size of Ferrari, a company that is also more profitable. Part of the IPO cash will also be used to close that gap, with Aston aiming to sell 9700 units in 2020.
