WEAK BAG ON FERRARI WITH VINEYARD
Weak Ferrari in Piazza Affari (-0.25% to 179 euros) on the day of the appointment of Benedetto Vigna to drive the Maranello Red. "The appointment is highly unexpected and, in our opinion, reflects the need to 'reinvent' Ferrari and the difficulties in finding candidates willing to take on this task," commented Jefferies analysts, according to Bloomberg. According to Jefferies, the appointment of Vigna and the alleged plan for the sale by Exor of a stake in the Cavallino to Armani, an operation denied by both companies, "is unlikely to create confidence today" in the markets.
