Ferrari became a publicly traded company in 2015. Its initial public offering placed roughly 10% of Ferrari N.V. on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker RACE, with trading beginning on October 21, 2015.
The listing was part of a broader plan to separate Ferrari from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. FCA had controlled Ferrari, but Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne pursued an independent corporate structure to give the marque its own publicly valued shares.
Ferrari’s Milan listing followed in January 2016, when its shares began trading on the Italian stock market. That later date can cause confusion, but the company had already become publicly traded through its 2015 New York debut.
The IPO did not mean Ferrari suddenly became a mass-market automaker. The company continued emphasizing limited production, luxury positioning, and exclusivity while using public-market access to support its independent corporate identity.
