FTSE 250 movers: Aston Martin goes into reverse after Jefferies cuts TP

Jefferies cut its price target on Aston Martin Lagonda shares on Monday to 250p from 275p as it pointed to reduced earnings and delayed deleveraging.

The bank, which rates the shares at ‘buy’, said Aston Martin “"continues to test investor patience", with the second quarter set to deliver earnings on par with Q1 leading management to draw down recently expanded credit lines.

"Meanwhile, initial feedback on new products and lean dealer inventories also create a supportive environment to ramp new models," it said.

SSP was weaker after a downgrade to ‘sell’ from ‘neutral’ at Goldman Sachs, which slashed the price target to 160p from 255p.

Greencore shares were lower after the company recalled a number of sandwiches with salad leaves sold in major supermarkets amid an E.coli scare.
