Ferrari reiterates that winning Formula 1 remains the priority after its Capital Markets Day, even as a cautious outlook triggers a sharp share-price fall.
The team’s last constructors’ crown came in 2008, with Kimi Raikkonen delivering the 2007 drivers’ title. The drought defines expectations and shapes decision-making.
Ferrari’s last constructors’ title was 2008; the last drivers’ crown came in 2007 with Kimi Raikkonen.
CEO Benedetto Vigna urges faster F1 performance gains, contrasting endurance success. Ferrari heads the 2025 WEC fight and has won the last three Le Mans 24 Hours.
“We have to win. We owe it to our loyal fans,” says CEO Benedetto Vigna.
Ferrari projects €7.1 billion revenue for 2025, rising to €9 billion by 2030, with adjusted earnings of at least €3.6 billion.
Forecast trails expectations; shares fall 15% in New York, over 14% in Milan.
Guidance undershot market expectations, prompting the steepest New York decline since Ferrari’s 2015 listing. Milan trading mirrored the drop, underlining investor unease.
Chairman John Elkann frames Ferrari’s identity around heritage, technology, and racing. He stresses commitment to the people delivering performance on track and in Maranello.
Elkann reiterates racing’s centrality, noting Ferrari’s near-century motorsport lineage. The message supports continuity around drivers, management, and a fanbase demanding contention every weekend.
Vigna acknowledges disappointment with the outlook but prioritizes credibility. The emphasis is delivering what is promised, not promising what cannot be delivered.
The approach suggests disciplined resource allocation between F1 development and road-car programs, with performance accountability sitting alongside measured, longer-horizon investment.
Translating intent into results requires upgrade momentum, clean execution, and operational sharpness against a tightening competitive field. Margins for error remain slim across strategy, reliability, and development direction.
The signal from Capital Markets Day is clear: Ferrari keeps the F1 title goal front and center, while taking a pragmatic route to sustain performance and protect long-term strength.
