Ferrari surpassed Hermès in stock multiple value by focusing on scarcity, exclusivity, and strong brand appeal. Ferrari's strategy of selling fewer cars than the market demands, combined with its strong emotional connection with customers and growing demand from the global wealthy population, has driven its stock multiple value higher than Hermès.
Ferrari's current market valuation is over $75 billion, surpassing Hermès as the most valuable luxury company in the world as measured by stock multiple, which gauges growth and profit prospects. The company's stock now trades at 50 times earnings.
