Ferrari has outperformed after the unveiling of its first all-electric model, the Ferrari Luce, initially sending shares down 7%. I observed that RACE is deliberately reducing volumes while still growing earnings, revenue, and profits, leveraging strong pricing power.

Ferrari's all-electric Luce is set to be delivered in the fourth quarter.
Benchmark RACE against direct peers instead of judging its metrics in isolation.
