Ferrari (RACE +0.27%) is an established leader at the exclusive end of the global car market. Wealthy customers won’t hesitate to pay mid-six-figure dollar sums to acquire these highly sought-after vehicles. This brand’s position has helped the business drive consistent revenue and profit growth.
But Ferrari shares aren’t immune from the ups and downs of market sentiment. Opportunistic investors who were greedy when others were fearful in 2026 have scored big profits. If you invested $1,000 in this luxury automotive stock at its low point this year, here’s how much you’d have today.

Ferrari shares traded at $314.63 in March this year. This marked the low point of 2026. If you had been wise and lucky enough to have correctly timed the market, purchasing $1,000 worth of the stock then, you’d have almost $1,265 today (as of Sept. 28). This translates to a wonderful 26.5% return in about six months.
This growth highlights how quickly market tides can turn. However, investors shouldn’t bank on always being able to buy low and sell high. The best strategy is to add quality businesses to your portfolio with the intention of holding them for several years.
Today’s Change
Current Price
Ferrari’s valuation, now at a price-to-earnings ratio of 37, isn’t as cheap as it was in May. But given the company’s track record at compounding capital, investors should take a closer look while shares are 23% off their peak.
