A Discounted Cash Flow model estimates what a business is worth by projecting its future cash flows and then discounting those euros back to today to reflect risk and the time value of money.
Ferrari generated trailing twelve month free cash flow of about €1.28 billion, and analysts expect this to grow steadily, with Simply Wall St using a two stage Free Cash Flow to Equity model. Their projections see free cash flow rising to roughly €1.96 billion by 2029, and then continuing to climb through the early 2030s based on gradually slowing growth assumptions beyond explicit analyst forecasts.
When all these future cash flows are discounted back and divided by the number of shares, the model arrives at an intrinsic value of about €107.04 per share. Compared with the current share price around $376, this implies the stock is roughly 251.6% overvalued on this DCF view. This suggests investors are paying a steep premium for Ferrari’s brand and growth story.
Result: OVERVALUED

For a consistently profitable company like Ferrari, the price to earnings (PE) ratio is a useful way to gauge what investors are paying today for each dollar of current profits. A higher PE can be justified when a business has strong, durable growth prospects and relatively low risk, while slower or more uncertain earnings growth usually calls for a lower, more conservative multiple.
Ferrari currently trades on a PE of about 35.42x, which is almost double both the auto industry average of roughly 18.39x and the broader peer group at around 18.27x. To move beyond simple comparisons, Simply Wall St estimates a proprietary Fair Ratio of 17.05x for Ferrari, which is the PE you might expect given its growth outlook, profitability, size and risk profile. This approach is more informative than looking at peers alone, because it explicitly adjusts for Ferrari’s superior margins, premium positioning and the volatility that comes with a concentrated, high end product lineup.
Stacking the current 35.42x against the 17.05x Fair Ratio suggests the market is paying a substantial premium for the Ferrari story, leaving limited margin of safety at today’s price.
Result: OVERVALUED

Earlier we mentioned that there is an even better way to understand valuation, so let us introduce you to Narratives, which are simply your story of Ferrari, written in numbers, where you connect your view of its brand, strategy and risks to a concrete forecast for revenue, earnings and margins, and from there to a fair value that you can easily compare with the current share price to decide whether to buy, hold or sell. On Simply Wall St, millions of investors can create and follow Narratives on the Community page, and these are updated dynamically as new information like earnings, guidance or major news comes in, so your story and fair value estimate do not go stale. For Ferrari, one investor might build a bullish Narrative that leans into electrification, a higher Special Series mix and luxury-like pricing power, landing close to the upper analyst fair value band around $597. A more cautious investor, worried about brand dilution, macro risks and execution, could sit nearer the lower band around $397, and Narratives makes both perspectives visible, comparable and actionable.
