Ferrari (NYSE:RACE) is drawing fresh attention after recent trading left the stock roughly flat over the past 3 months, even as its year to date performance shows a decline of about 6.7%.

That recent softness adds to a year to date share price return that is down 6.7%, while the 1 year total shareholder return is down 26.7%. However, the 5 year total shareholder return is 75.8%, suggesting long term holders have still seen meaningful gains.

With Ferrari shares roughly flat over the past 3 months and down over the past year while revenue and net income are growing annually, the key question is simple: is this recent weakness a buying opportunity, or is it already pricing in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 18.8% Undervalued

Ferrari's most followed narrative puts fair value at $427.53 versus a last close of $346.99, framing the recent share price weakness against a higher long term target.

The launch of six new models in 2025, including the anticipation of the Ferrari full electric, is likely to drive revenue growth, capturing both existing and new customers while expanding Ferrari's electrification journey.

Want to see what backs that higher fair value? The narrative leans on steady revenue expansion, firmer margins and a future earnings multiple that assumes Ferrari keeps its luxury premium.

Result: Fair Value of $427.53 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this hinges on Ferrari preserving exclusivity and pricing power, with the six model launches planned for 2025 and its reliance on existing buyers both potential pressure points for that story.

Another Take: Multiples Point To A Full Price

That 18.8% upside from the analyst narrative sits uncomfortably next to Ferrari’s current P/E of 33.1x, which is higher than the global auto industry at 15.4x, the peer average at 26.4x and even the fair ratio of 18.4x. This raises the question of how much luxury premium is already baked in.
