Microvast Holdings announces departure of chief financial officer
MARANELLO, Italy - Ferrari N.V. (NYSE/EXM:RACE), the $78.68 billion luxury automaker whose stock has gained over 18% year-to-date, announced Thursday its plans to launch the eighth tranche of its multi-year share buyback program, authorizing repurchases of up to €360 million ($396 million) starting August 22, 2025.
The new tranche, which will run through December 18, 2025, continues the luxury automaker’s €2 billion buyback program announced during its 2022 Capital Markets Day. According to InvestingPro data, Ferrari maintains strong financial health with a comfortable debt position and robust liquidity metrics.
The repurchase plan consists of two components: a non-discretionary agreement with a primary financial institution for up to €280 million to be executed on the Euronext Milan market, and an additional mandate for up to €80 million to be executed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The financial institution handling the Euronext Milan purchases will make independent trading decisions regarding timing, uninfluenced by Ferrari, and will comply with applicable market regulations. This arrangement allows purchases to continue even during Ferrari’s closed periods.
The eighth tranche implements the resolution approved by Ferrari shareholders at their April 16, 2025 meeting, which authorized the company to repurchase up to 10% of its common shares over an eighteen-month period. This repurchase authority will expire on October 15, 2026, unless extended.
Ferrari stated that details of the repurchase transactions will be disclosed to the market as required by regulations.
The announcement comes as part of the company’s ongoing capital allocation strategy, based on a press release statement from the Italian luxury sports car manufacturer.
