Vertu Motors (LSE:VTU) reported steady results for the five months ending July 2025, with used car volumes and margins holding firm despite supply constraints and subdued consumer confidence. Growth in the aftersales segment has been strong, and the company has maintained tight cost control even amid inflationary pressures.
Challenges persist in the new car market due to the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate and broader consumer trends. However, government incentives for electric vehicles are expected to support demand. Vertu Motors is also expanding its presence with new BYD sales outlets and continues its share buyback program, reinforcing shareholder value. Additionally, the company is engaged in discussions with the Financial Conduct Authority regarding a proposed motor finance redress scheme following a Supreme Court ruling.
The company’s outlook is underpinned by a solid financial base and attractive valuation, including a low P/E ratio and healthy dividend yield. Share buybacks further enhance value, though technical indicators are mixed, showing short-term bearish signals offset by longer-term support. Limited recent earnings call data leaves some uncertainty regarding management’s strategic outlook.
