Ferrari (NYSE:RACE) share price. It’s 418% higher than it was 5 yrs ago. This demonstrates the value creation that some businesses can achieve. It is also good to see the share price up 23% in the last Quarter.
Share prices reflects investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance.
Our way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company’s share price and its EPS.
During 5 yrs of share price growth, Ferrari achieved compound EPS growth of 11% per yr. This EPS growth is lower than the 39% average annual increase in the share price. So, it is fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of RACE now than it did 5 yrs ago. Not shocking, given the track record of growth.
This good sentiment is reflected in its luxury goods P/E ratio of 66.35.
The Big Q is: Will the Maranello Outfit grow earnings going forward.
Note: The TSR (total shareholder return) incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. So, for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a higher than the share price return. In the case of Ferrari, it has a TSR of 440% for the last 5 yrs. That exceeds its share price return mentioned above and below. This is largely a result of its dividend payments.
