Ferrari NV (RACE) surged 5.04% during Monday's intraday trading session, building on earlier pre-market gains as a wave of institutional optimism swept the luxury automaker ahead of its upcoming quarterly earnings release.
The rally was fueled by a series of bullish analyst actions and expectations for a strong second-quarter report, scheduled for July 30 before the market opens. Consensus estimates project revenue of EUR 1.884 billion, a 2.53% year-over-year increase, with adjusted earnings per share of EUR 2.50, up 5.68%. UBS maintained its buy rating and raised its price target to $497 from $483, noting that Q2 results should deliver further sequential acceleration and that the company is expected to upgrade its full-year guidance, signaling a stronger-than-expected second half. Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock from Equal-Weight to Overweight with a $438 target, while Bank of America raised its target to EUR 400 and Wolfe initiated coverage with an Outperform rating at EUR 382.
Adding to the positive sentiment, Ferrari also provided an update on its EUR 3.5 billion multi-year share buyback program. The intraday surge marks a sharp rebound from the 3.1% decline on July 23, which had been driven by systematic sector-wide selling pressure, and reflects growing confidence in Ferrari's ability to leverage its ultra-high-net-worth client base amid continued global wealth growth.
