Recently, Aston Martin announced itself in debt of almost £ 1 billion. Aston Martin’s stock price also dropped by 20 percent. To recover from this debt, Aston Martin is seeking the Saudi government to acquire 20% of Aston Martin’s share as a Saudi Public Investment Fund. This investment will help Aston Martin to raise 200 million pounds. According to the reports, Aston Martin will raise 300 million pounds from a “rights issue.” However, the Saudi PIF has already invested in Pagani, McLaren, and Lucid Motors. The $1 billion investment in Lucid Motors is over $20 billion right now.
This huge profit investment in the automobile sector attracts many Saudi investors and even the government to invest in automobile companies. Aston Martin has successfully attracted the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. It will be their second-largest shareholder, just after the share of Lawrence Stroll’s Yew Tree.
