We're going to talk about meme stocks because there was recent news about a new ETF that's trying to capture the zeitgeist of meme stock investing yet again.
Of course, we'll do stocks on our radar like we do every Thursday here.
But before we begin, we actually want to start with today's news from a company you don't hear much about the news because they're a great company that tends to stay out of the limelight, and that's Ferrari.
Shares of Ferrari are down about
14.8% as we are taping this after the company announced changing to its electric vehicle strategy and financial guidance that was lower than expected.
The company now projects its electric vehicles out to 2030 will be 20% of its total lineup versus the original plan of 40% of the lineup.
Also, 2030 projections for its financial performance.
It's adjusting down its operating profit from โฌ3.2 billion to โฌ2.75 billion.
Just for reference, over the past 12 months, adjusted operating profit was $2.1 billion.
Pretty modest growth here.
Now, Ferrari's a luxury brand stock.
I would say masquerading as an automotive stock.
Its shares have traded at a premium to the automotive industry ever since going public, probably with Tesla being the one exception.
That premium is because Ferrari is much more of a consistent performer because of luxury.
With this lower projection, I'm going to toss it to both of you guys, is the stock really worth the rich market premium that it still has?
I want to dig a little bit more into something you were alluding to, Matt, with the luxury pull forward a little bit here.
This is the part of the puzzle I've been trying to figure out when it comes to Ferrari.
This could go out to a little bit more.
Is this really a Ferrari problem or a consumer spending problem?
I'll ask you guys both, but here's what I'm thinking.
