Ferrari (BIT:RACE) has two stories unfolding at once. The group is rolling out the 296 GT Modificata track car for club events while also steadily expanding a multi year share buyback program.
Ferrari shares trade at €352.7 after a 90 day share price return of 13.52%, yet the 1 year total shareholder return is down 12.16%. Recent momentum has picked up even though longer term holders have had a bumpier ride.

Ferrari now trades close to record territory again after a short term rebound, while the 1 year return is still in decline. Does that recent surge still leave enough potential to justify the risk?
Ferrari's most followed valuation story pegs fair value at about €388 per share, above the recent close near €352. This frames the current rebound as still leaving a gap to that narrative target.
The ramp-up of high-margin, recurring revenue streams from brand sponsorships, lifestyle, and personalization, fueled by lifestyle activities, racing events, and growing global brand desirability, will further enhance margin accretion, drive resilient long-term earnings, and reduce reliance on car sales volume alone. Ongoing investments in innovation, for example electrification, new manufacturing and paint facilities, and cross-sector technology transfers like the Hypersail project, both future-proof the business and leverage secular trends towards luxury experiential goods, likely resulting in higher capital efficiency and supporting sustainable earnings growth over the next cycle.

Result: Fair Value of €388.02 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, Ferrari’s story can change quickly if electrification drags on relative to expectations or if luxury buyers pull back, which could put pricing power and margins under pressure.
