Ferrari N.V. Completes Major Share Buyback Initiative
Ferrari N.V. (“Ferrari” or the “Company”) has successfully finalized its multi-year share buyback program, purchasing shares valued at approximately Euro 360 million under its eighth tranche, part of a larger Euro 2 billion initiative expected to conclude by 2026. This commitment aligns with the expectations set during a recent Capital Markets Day, illustrating Ferrari's dedication to enhancing shareholder value.
The Eighth Tranche: Key Highlights
As the Company announced, the eighth tranche has concluded with notable success, having purchased a total of 15,399 common shares across various dates in December 2025. Throughout this process, common shares transactions occurred on the prestigious New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), showcasing Ferrari's robust market engagement.
Summary of Transactions
Through the shares purchased on December 9, 10, and 12, 2025, Ferrari reported a total net consideration amounting to approximately Euro 5.66 million, culminating in an aggregate shareholding enhancement. The average price per share for these purchases hovered around 367.80 euros, demonstrating Ferrari's strategic investment approach. This successful phase marks a significant milestone in the larger share buyback framework.
Future Directions: New Share Buyback Program
Building upon this momentum, Ferrari is set to initiate a new multi-year buyback program with a proposed budget of Euro 3.5 billion, expected to span until 2030. This ambitious program is designed to strengthen shareholder returns and reflects the Company’s confidence in its long-term performance and growth prospects.
First Tranche Details

Execution of the First Tranche
The execution of the initiatives under this first tranche incorporates two pivotal components: a non-discretionary buyback agreement worth up to Euro 200 million, and a further Euro 50 million allowance for trades executed on the NYSE.
