Ferretti (BIT:YACHT) Wins Court Clarity, But Is The Undervalued View Already Priced In
The Court of Bologna rejected KKCG Maritime’s bid to suspend Ferretti (BIT:YACHT) AGM resolutions, dismissing all interim requests and keeping the controlling shareholder’s voting rights intact while the broader lawsuit continues.
At a share price of €2.672, Ferretti has seen its 30-day share price return fall 6.57% and its year to date share price return decline 12.39%. However, the 1-year total shareholder return of 1.20% and 3-year total shareholder return of 7.51% point to steadier longer term momentum, even as the recent court ruling helps clear some legal uncertainty around governance and control.

Ferretti now trades after a legal overhang has eased, but recent returns remain soft. Is it worth stepping in at today’s price or waiting for a deeper pullback before committing fresh capital?
Most Popular Narrative: 25% Undervalued
On the most followed view, Ferretti screens as undervalued, with a fair value estimate of €3.54 against the last close of €2.672. In the model, that gap is attributed to slow but steady earnings expansion and a lower required return of 8.89%.
The order backlog and net backlog have both risen, with book to bill at or above 1x. This provides multi year revenue visibility and can reduce earnings volatility compared with more transactional peers.
Branded super yachts such as the Riva 54 meters are sold out to 2028 for branded units and 2029 for full bespoke. They currently represent about 20% of revenue with fully utilized capacity, which sets up potential future revenue and EBITDA growth if Ferretti adds capacity or pricing power in this segment.
See why 3 investors see Ferretti as 25% undervalued.
Result: Fair Value of €3.54 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, the Ferretti thesis is vulnerable if aggressive discounting in composite yachts compresses pricing, or if a few large made to measure orders slip.
