Aston Martin shares slid after the company revealed it would deliver fewer cars than expected this year as it struggled to source certain parts due to supply chain problems.

The luxury sports carmaker had expected to sell 6,600 cars this year but said it may sell as few as 6,200. It said the parts shortages meant more than 400 vehicles were awaiting final parts at the end of September, which are expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter.
