 Aston Martin - Aston Martin IPO - Mapmaker
Anybody tempted?

It made a profit last year of £87m. On the back of that it is valued at £5bn. A yield of 1.7%, so it looks maybe a bit toppy.

Then realise that in 2016 it made a loss of £167m, the sixth consecutive year for making a loss.

In the 60 years I have looked at cars Aston Martin has had many owners & gone bust at least once. Nobody made money - some owners lost a barrow load before selling on.

Perhaps if owning a share gets you a meaningful discount on a new one ;)

Well, depending on the share price, it might be fun to buy one or two to say "I own Aston Martin" as I doubt I will ever be getting a real one.

TBH probably couldn't be bothered.
