Ferrari N.V. vs Tesla, Inc., two Auto Manufacturers stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
Ferrari earns 40.86% on equity building fewer than 15,000 cars a year; Tesla earns 5.19% building nearly two million, luxury scarcity against mass-market scale, and the returns favor scarcity by eightfold. Ferrari nets 22.4% of revenue to Tesla's 4.5%. Yet Tesla trades at 347.7 times earnings against Ferrari's 37.7, a tenfold multiple premium for the EV maker despite far weaker current returns. Both run light debt; Ferrari yields 3.09% in free cash, Tesla 0.52%. The pair prices a luxury brand against an EV company valued on autonomy and robotics; Ferrari earns genuine luxury returns at a luxury multiple, Tesla earns thin car margins at a multiple pricing moonshots, and the market's willingness to pay ten times more for Tesla is a bet entirely on its non-car futures.
