On the stock market, Ferrari is now worth more than Volkswagen, Stellantis, and Renault combined.
That’s despite the fact it’s only selling 13,000 cars a year.
So how has Ferrari become worth so much more?
Car brand valuations make big headlines
When we think of cars and value, our minds will often go toward the value of individual cars or models.
But the valuation of the companies at large tends to pass a lot of us by – unless we have invested in stock of said companies, of course.
Yet the figures attached to these companies are no small thing.
Back in 2025, Tesla was valued at more than $1 trillion, making it worth more than Ferrari and Toyota combined.
These days, that figure stands at $1.49 trillion.
That’s a gargantuan sum of money, nobody can dispute that.
Back in 2022, when Porsche was due to debut on the stock market, it was anticipated that it’d have a $75 billion – that figure stands at around $46 billion these days.
You don’t need to be a trading pro to know that a company’s valuation depends on a whole range of factors.
That makes the case of Ferrari all the more fascinating.
Ferrari is worth more than Renault, Volkswagen, and Stellantis combined
A Reuters analysis found that Ferrari currently has a market value of around $71 billion – $9 billion more than the combined worth of Stellantis, Renault, and Volkswagen.
Now, don’t get it twisted – $62 billion is still a lot of money.
But the disparity is still quite stark.
After all, Volkswagen is the second biggest car manufacturer in the world (8.9 million sold in 2025), while Stellantis is the fifth (5.6 million sold in that same year).
Renault is no slouch either, as one of the continent’s biggest automotive names.
Between them, these companies produce million of cars and employ thousands of people across dozens of factories.
By way of comparison, Ferrari sells around 13,000 cars a year – it shipped 13,640 in 2025, and 13,752 in 2024.
Not because there’s a lack of interest, but because the company purposefully caps volume.
So what explains its higher valuation?
Why is Ferrari worth so much money?
First and foremost, Ferrari positions itself as a luxury brand.
As Vigna once told The Wall Street Journal: “We are a luxury company that is also doing cars.”
An article from CNBC put the Italian marque’s high value down to several factors.
One such factor is the scarcity model, in which it creates a feeling of exclusivity by producing relatively few cars.
“We always want to push the quality of revenues over quantity,” CEO Benedetto Vigna told the outlet.
Comparisons are often drawn with Hermès, the French fashion house, which limits supply of its much-admired Birkin handbag.
That builds demand, and value.
Ferrari is clearly doing very well, and proves that quality often does triumph over quantity.
