Recent Company History
Over the past month, Ferrari has issued regular updates on its €250M first tranche of a multi‑year ~€3.5B buyback program. From early March through early April 2026, treasury holdings rose from about 8.80% to nearly 8.99% of issued common shares, with total repurchased shares steadily increasing. Price reactions to these buyback reports have alternated between modest gains and declines, indicating that the market has treated them as incremental rather than transformational catalysts.

7 terms
share buyback programfinancial
"under the Euro 250 million share buyback program announced on December 16, 2025"
A share buyback program is when a company uses its cash to repurchase its own outstanding shares from the market, reducing the number of shares available to investors. That matters because it can raise the value of remaining shares and signal management's confidence in the business—similar to a bakery buying back unsold loafs to make each remaining loaf represent a larger share of its oven’s output—though buybacks can also affect cash available for other uses.
treasury sharesfinancial
"the Company held in treasury No. 17,494,660 common shares, net of shares assigned"
Treasury shares are a company’s own stock that it has repurchased and keeps on its books instead of canceling or leaving in the hands of outside investors. Think of them like coupons a business puts back in a drawer: they don’t vote or receive dividends while held, but they can be reissued later for employee pay or fundraising. For investors this matters because buybacks change the number of shares that count toward earnings and ownership, can boost per‑share metrics, and use corporate cash that might otherwise go to growth or dividends.
special voting sharesfinancial
"Including the special voting shares, the Company held in treasury 9.40%"
Shares that carry extra or different voting power than ordinary shares, allowing their holders to control corporate decisions disproportionate to their economic stake. For investors this matters because these shares can concentrate control in the hands of a few — like owning the steering wheel while others own most of the car — which can affect board choices, strategic direction, minority shareholder influence and the value or liquidity of ordinary shares.
equity incentive planfinancial
"net of shares assigned under the Company’s equity incentive plan, corresponding to 9.02%"
An equity incentive plan is a program that gives employees, executives or directors the right to receive company stock or options to buy stock as part of their pay. Think of it as offering slices of future company profit to motivate people to boost long‑term performance; for investors it matters because it can align employee goals with shareholder value but also increases the number of shares outstanding, which can dilute existing ownership.
non-discretionary buyback agreementfinancial
"Ferrari has entered into a non-discretionary buyback agreement for up to Euro 200 million"
A non-discretionary buyback agreement is a legally binding promise by a company to repurchase a set amount of its own shares under predefined terms, rather than an optional or ad hoc decision. Think of it like a standing order to buy back stock that will reduce the number of shares outstanding, which can boost per-share metrics and signal support for the share price, but also commits cash and affects the company’s balance sheet and flexibility.
Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014regulatory
"in accordance with the provisions of the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014"
Regulation 596/2014, known as the Market Abuse Regulation, is the European rulebook that bans insider trading and market manipulation and requires timely public disclosure of crucial company information. It matters to investors because it helps keep prices fair and trustworthy—like rules that stop players from cheating in a game—by forcing companies and insiders to be transparent and making unlawful trading easier to detect and punish.
repurchase authorityfinancial
"The repurchase authority will expire on October 15, 2026, unless extended or renewed"
Repurchase authority is formal permission for a company to buy back its own shares (or sometimes other assets) using available cash or credit. For investors it matters because buybacks reduce the number of shares on the market—similar to a retailer pulling items off the shelf—which can raise profit per share, support the stock price, change ownership percentages, and signal management’s view of the company’s value and cash priorities.

Euro 199,999,486.77 for No. 680,168 common shares purchased on the EXM
USD 57,884,510.41 (Euro 49,999,734.27 *) for No. 169,886 common shares purchased on the NYSE.
As of April 9, 2026 the Company held in treasury No. 17,494,660 common shares, net of shares assigned under the Company’s equity incentive plan, corresponding to 9.02% of the total issued common shares. Including the special voting shares, the Company held in treasury 9.40% of the total issued share capital.
Since January 5, 2026, start date of the multi-year share buyback program of approximately Euro 3.5 billion announced during the 2025 Capital Markets Day, until April 9, 2026, the Company has purchased a total of 850,054 own common shares on EXM and NYSE for a total consideration of Euro 249,999,221.05.
The Company intends to continue its multi-year share buyback program with a second tranche of up to Euro 250 million (the “Second Tranche”) due to start on April 13, 2026 and expected to end no later than August 28, 2026.
The Second Tranche will be funded through the Company’s available cash, and common shares repurchased under the Second Tranche may be used to meet the obligations arising from the Company’s equity incentive plan.
The Second Tranche has two components.
Firstly, Ferrari has entered into a non-discretionary buyback agreement for up to Euro 200 million to be executed on the EXM market through a primary financial institution (the “Bank”). The Bank will make its trading decisions concerning the timing of the purchases of Ferrari’s common shares independently of and uninfluenced by Ferrari and it will act in compliance with applicable rules and regulations as well as in accordance with the provisions of the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (the “Regulations”). Under this agreement purchases may continue during any closed periods of Ferrari in accordance with the Regulations.
Secondly, Ferrari has entered into an additional mandate with a primary financial institution for up to Euro 50 million to be executed on the NYSE. Pursuant to such mandate Ferrari would provide the financial institution with purchase instructions from time to time in compliance with applicable rules, regulations and legal requirements. The actual timing, number and value of common shares repurchased on the NYSE will depend on a number of factors, including market and general business conditions.
The Second Tranche implements the resolution adopted by the Shareholders’ Meeting (held on April 16, 2025) and duly communicated to the market, which authorized the purchase of up to 10% of the Company’s common shares during the eighteen-month period following such Shareholders’ Meeting. The repurchase authority will expire on October 15, 2026, unless extended or renewed before such date.
Details of the repurchase transactions carried out under the Second Tranche will be disclosed to the market as required by applicable regulation.
A comprehensive overview of the transactions carried out under the buyback program, as well as the details of the above transactions, are available on Ferrari’s corporate website under the Buyback Programs section (https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/corporate/buyback-programs).
