Home Featured Boomtime at Ferrari

Italian luxury carmaker Ferrari has increased its financial targets for the year after another exceptional quarter. The company reported a 45.7% rise in net profit, reaching €332 million, surpassing Factset analysts’ forecast of €294 million.

Ferrari also saw an 8.5% increase in car sales, totaling 3,459 vehicles sold worldwide during the July to September period. CEO Benedetto Vigna attributed this success to the appeal of customized models and the brand’s order book, which remains at a record high, covering sales through 2025.

These results suggest that Ferrari is not experiencing the slowdown in growth affecting other luxury segments. The company now anticipates 2023 sales of €5.9 billion, up from its previous estimate of €5.8 billion.

Ferrari plans to introduce fifteen new models between 2023 and 2026, including its first all-electric car, scheduled for release in 2025. In the third quarter, Ferrari reported a 23.5% sales increase, totaling €1.54 billion, with its primary market being Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Although the Americas experienced a 21.1% sales increase, deliveries decreased by 8.0% in the China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan region.
