Li Auto Inc. vs Ferrari N.V., two Auto Manufacturers stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
Ferrari's 40.86% return on equity and Li Auto's 1.56% mark the extremes of what building vehicles can earn: a scarcity-driven Italian luxury house against a Chinese EV maker still scaling. Ferrari nets 22.4% of revenue building fewer than 15,000 cars a year; Li nets 1.01% chasing volume. Ferrari trades at 37.7 times earnings, Li at 150.6, the EV maker's growth multiple quadrupling the luxury house's premium. Ferrari runs debt-free, Li at 0.13 turns; Ferrari yields 3.09% in free cash, Li negative 7.1%. The pair prices a luxury supercar brand against a mass-market EV challenger; Ferrari earns luxury returns at a luxury multiple, Li earns razor margins at a growth multiple, and only the four wheels and the sector tag connect them.
