- Aston Martin AML.L said on Wednesday it had secured £550 million ($735.57 million) in new debt financing led by funds managed by BlackRock-owned HPS Investment Partners, strengthening the luxury carmaker's financial position.

The financing comprises a £450 million senior secured term loan and a £100 million delayed draw term loan, and a separate £100 million permitted debt incurrence capacity.

The British luxury carmaker, known for its long association with the James Bond franchise, has been struggling with cash burn and falling sales because of U.S. tariffs and weak demand in China. Its shares have fallen about 44% this year.

Aston Martin said the financing would bolster its balance sheet and increase pro forma liquidity to about £340 million as of June 30.

The group's half-year 2026 results are set to be published on July 29.
