Find out about the key risks to this Ferrari narrative.
Ferrari might look modestly undervalued on fair value narratives around €388, yet its current P/E of 41.9x tells a tougher story. The stock trades well above the global auto industry at 13.6x, peers at 24x, and even its own fair ratio of 21.2x, which lifts valuation risk if sentiment cools.
That gap between today’s P/E and the fair ratio is wide, so buyers are paying a premium for quality, brand and consistency. The question is simple. Are you comfortable paying almost double the ratio the market could move towards if expectations soften, or do you prefer to wait for a reset in the multiple?
