As an auto enthusiast we all said the same thing when Porsche came out with the Cayenne, and now it is one of their best selling models. Hey Guys, what's your take on the fair value of Ferrari? The recent run-up makes me a bit nervous to be honest.. Im also curious abut this. I have had a profitable run with RACE, but feel like I'm flying too close to the sun.

The recent run-up makes me a bit nervous to be honest.. Im also curious abut this. I have had a profitable run with RACE, but feel like I'm flying too close to the sun. You mention some names that bridged the gap with the brand conundrum, but I would think that a buyer of a Ferrari SUV will not be the same person as a the Cayenne buyer... this is a very different market with very different margins if the brand remains intact. I don't see why Ferrari wouldn't target better economics than what Ferrari is already achieving. It wouldn't make sense to take a such a risk.

Saluki Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Notmally, I would think building an SUV would be good short term, but bad long term. If it's a $200k-$400k SUV, then what makes the price justifiable versus other luxury SUVs? If it's sold at a lower price than Ferrari sports cars, it could hurt the brand by having too many people driving it. Packard was a luxury brand and tried to sell lower priced versions of it's cars, and it hurt the luxury cars it sold. They sold more lower priced cars, but not enough to make up for the loss of the luxury market and they eventually went broke. Harley Davidson has been struggling recently too. They now have a several bikes in the $8-$10k range to appeal to millenials. Given the choice of a $20-$30k "Harley" or a "Harley" for half that price, which would you choose? I wasn't smart enough to buy RACE after the spinoff, but I did well with FCAU. If anyone other than Sergio Marchionne had come up with this idea, I would say "never!" but he's the Batman of the car world and he can work miracles.

Spekulatius Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I think Ferrari should consider building a unique off road vehicle if anything. The risk of brand dilution is quite real however. Ferrari could also consider buying another luxury brand to venture into different markets segments without the risk of diluting their brand.

whatdadil9 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 It will be 300k - 500k. Top of the range. They sell 200k porsche suvs globally and 5k bentleys and 4k lambos. Lets say they sell 3k FUVS at 400k a pop on average. Should be higher. 1.2bn of revenues at 80 pct incrementals is another 1bn of ebit... Think market can support more probably too. They will gain new customers that they dont already have.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdadil9 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I would agree it could and should be more... Im just being conservative and taking a low end rage above of the URUS. Should for sure be higher and would all be incremental to margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkie518 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I am less impressed with the financial allocation and guidance than the design of the new Monza SP1 and SP2 Dividends increased to 30% of net income and buyback s 1.5B Euro (~$1.75B USD)... so we'll see a $1 dividend and over a four year period the company will buy back less than 7% of its shares at today's price I hope that the plan is not indiscriminate to price... Guidance is for increased capex for purpose of launching hybrids, FUV, and V6 engine production...a Ferrari with a V6? It would be awful if Ferrari did what Lamborghini did with Urus. Ferrari is a wonderful company with an incredibly valuable brand...I intend to go through the presentations in full, but a glance, this is disappointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An entire career in the cigarette business. Maybe Ferrari was the only gig he could find with even more loyal customers I spoke with someone who has worked for Altria and has owned cigarette stocks for long periods. He told me Camilleri was a great capital allocator and was very good at judging people. I think before we start writing him off we need to remember Sergio never ran a car or a luxury company before either. Also what is the biggest reason we own Ferrari stock? Sure Sergio was great for his insights and new direction, but does it really take Sergio to be relatively successful at reaching the 2022 plan? If the answer is yes, should we really own the stock? has Camilleri has been on vacation since 2013? any other reason why he was chosen instead of someone already on the team who worked closely w/Marchionne? this doesn't sit right w/me...

If the answer is yes, should we really own the stock? +1 I don't own Ferrari directly since since I sold and rolled the proceeds into FCAU; however, I do hold a good bit of Exor and trust those guys to have done their due diligence on the CEO running a company they control. Similar to your points about Sergei. The fact that it's suggested that he is an excellent capital allocator and a good judge of people is huge. Carnegie built his wealth by being good in just those areas. As long as Camilleri is smart enough to surround himself with people who do know cars/Ferrari while gets out of their way and intelligently allocates capital to the best opportunities they put before him, we should all be fine.

walkie518 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Q3 presentation http://corporate.ferrari.com/sites/ferrari15ipo/files/2018_11_05_-_ferrari_-_q3_2018_results_presentation.pdf one time adjustment boosted EPS by E0.74, but longer-term, debt pay down has been material despite lower FCF the two Icona and new 488 Pista Spider should provide a lift to 2019 sales and some temporary margin expansion pricing hasn't recovered from Marchionne's unfortunate death, but the business is running on all cylinders and continuing to hit 2018 targets there is certainly some apprehension about the FUV...I don't see any mention in the presentation but haven't listened to the call yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spekulatius Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Interesting show any it the legendary 1960’s Le Man races, which were more porpluar than Formula one back then.
