Zara Parent Inditex's Sales Tick Up Ahead of Festive Season
By Andrea Figueras
Inditex, the owner of Zara, reported an acceleration in sales growth at the start of its final quarter and ahead of the key festive season, driven by the success of its fall/winter collections.
The Spanish fashion group, which houses other brands including Massimo Dutti and Pull & Bear, said on Wednesday that sales jumped nearly 11% at constant currency from Nov. 1 to Dec. 1 compared with the same period a year earlier.
The growth rate was higher than the 6.2% increase that Inditex recorded in the first nine months of the fiscal year. The result brought sales at constant currency to 28.17 billion euros ($32.75 billion).
For the third quarter alone, the group logged sales of 9.8 billion euros.
Inditex reported a net profit of 4.62 billion euros for the first nine months, up from 4.45 billion euros previously. Operating profit increased to 5.94 billion euros from 5.67 billion euros, with a margin of 21.1%.
The company maintained its guidance for the year ending January 2026 of a stable gross margin, plus or minus 50 basis points. It also anticipates a negative currency impact on sales of 4%.
