Italian Stocks to Buy: Ferrari N.V. (RACE)
Perhaps there is nothing more Italian than Ferrari N.V. (NYSE:RACE). But like the other Italian stocks on this list, RACE is more of a global powerhouse than just a play on Italy.
Ferrari’s iconic and luxury automobiles are sold all over the world. The name brand commands a huge amount of pricing power, as its owners are celebrities, global elites and racing enthusiasts.
Very few car companies can charge $2 million for a preorder and have it sell out in minutes. With RACE, you’re buying a status symbol, rather than just transportation.
That has translated to into rising sales. During its last earnings release, RACE saw shipments gain across the board in terms of world regions. However, the biggest driver was Asia, as the emerging wealthy continue to buy luxury items at a fevered pace.
China continues to mint more millionaires than any other nation on the planet. That works out in Ferrari’s favor, given its iconic status.
For investors, it translates in rising profits and car shipments over the long term. And when you’re selling cars for north of $300,000 a pop, the profits really start to flow.
Meanwhile, RACE shares can be had for just a little above its IPO price.
In the end, when it comes to Italian stocks to buy, RACE could be one of the best ones given its long history as a global symbol of wealth.
