Ferrari Stock Has Tesla And GM Playing Catch-Up
It's not just the technical performance of Ferrari stock that has Tesla and GM lagging behind. The legendary race car brand is also outpacing its rival automakers in key fundamental metrics.
Ferrari sports an SMR Rating of A from IBD. The grade tracks sales growth, profit margins and return on equity. That tops the lower, though still-solid B ratings for GM and Tesla.
Ferrari also leads the pack with an EPS Rating of 95, edging past GM's 94. Tesla stock, long the weakest of the Magnificent Seven names, rates a lackluster 58.
The Accumulation/Distribution Rating measures institutional buying and selling over the last 13 weeks. Reflecting this month's emerging rebound, Tesla stock leads this category with an A-.
But Ferrari stock earns a solid B Accumulation/Distribution Rating, a clear sign of large-lot buying over the last three months. GM stock shows the opposite with its rating of D.
