Key points
Positive start to the year for the Spanish group Inditex . Between 1 February and 8 March, the company that owns the Zara brand reported sales, at constant exchange rates, up 9%, in line with analysts' expectations and above the 7% growth recorded in 2025 on a comparable basis.
The result should reassure investors about the group's ability to maintain solid growth despite the fact that demand remains fragile in its main markets, Europe and the United States, while households have to contend with rising energy prices linked to the conflict in the Middle East.
In the November-January quarter, which includes key shopping periods such as Black Friday and the Christmas holidays, sales of the group, which counts brands such as Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Oysho and Lefties in its portfolio, had risen to EUR 11.69 billion, up from EUR 11.2 billion in the same period last year.
On the Madrid Stock Exchange, the share opened the session at parity, while the balance since the beginning of the year is negative 7.5 per cent.
Record results in 2025
The performance in the first three months of the year follows record results in 2025. The group recorded a solid operating performance in the fiscal year from 1 February 2025 to 31 January 2026, with turnover of EUR 39.9 billion and net profit increasing by 6% year-on-year to EUR 6.22 billion, a record result for the fourth consecutive year.
