“Inditex Shares Surge as Strong Q3 and November Sales Signal Powerful Holiday Momentum”🚨

Inditex, the global fashion giant behind Zara, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, and other major brands, is soaring in early Wednesday trading. Shares jumped 8% in Madrid—the company’s biggest intraday gain in five years—after delivering a standout third-quarter performance and an exceptionally strong start to November.

Q3 Results Beat Expectations

For the quarter ending October 31, Inditex posted:

• Sales: €9.8 billion ($11.41 billion), up 8.4% at constant currencies

• Gross Profit: €6.1 billion ($7.1 billion), up 6.2%

• Gross Margin: a robust 62%

These figures highlight the company’s ability to maintain high profitability—even as global retail faces uneven consumer spending and unpredictable economic conditions.

November Ignites Q4 Optimism

The momentum didn’t stop at Q3. Inditex also reported 10.6% currency-adjusted sales growth in November, a crucial indicator heading into its most profitable stretch of the year.

November marks the start of the retailer’s Q4, which includes:

• Black Friday

• Holiday shopping

• Traditionally full-price sell-through periods

The strong early Q4 numbers suggest Inditex is gaining market share just as global apparel spending picks up.

CEO Strikes Confident Tone

CEO Oscar Garcia Maceiras highlighted the resilience of the business, telling analysts:

“In the nine months of 2025, we have generated a strong performance, with sales growth in a complex market environment while maintaining very satisfactory levels of profitability.”

Investors clearly agree. With strong gross margins and sustained demand across key brands, Inditex is proving once again why it remains the world’s largest listed clothing retailer.
