August 31, 2025 | Enzo Ferrari insisted his company would “always deliver one car fewer than the market demands.” That single sentence explains almost everything about a business that sells barely 14,000 automobiles a year, yet enjoys gross margins north of 50%, trades for a price-to-earnings ratio that would make most software founders blush, and has turned every dollar invested at its 2015 IPO into nearly ten today.

In June 2023, the Supreme Court effectively ended race-based affirmative action in higher education in the Students for Fair Admissions ( SFFA ) case. On the heels of that decision, newly empowered activists have brought a barrage of challenges against workplace DEI efforts.
