Recent buyback updates have often coincided with small negative price reactions, while credit facility and partnership news saw positive moves, suggesting routine buyback reports have not consistently supported the share price in the short term.
Over the last few weeks, Ferrari has repeatedly updated investors on its multi-year buyback program, investing amounts like €279,999,967.33 and reaching total repurchases of 5,965,932–5,981,331 shares for roughly €2.0 billion. These updates often saw modest negative moves despite the shareholder-friendly nature. Alongside this, Ferrari secured a new €350 million revolving credit facility and renewed a multi-decade partnership with Philip Morris International, both followed by positive price reactions around +1.88%. Today’s announcement completes the ~€2 billion plan and introduces a larger new program.
