Inditex experiences a downturn following the disclosure of its day-to-day results, negatively impacting the Ibex index.
Inditex Reports Significant Increase in Net Profit and Sales
Inditex, the Galician fashion retail giant, has reported a 10% increase in net profit for the first nine months of the year, amounting to 1,302 million euros. This rise marks the largest increase in the Spanish select and comes after presenting the results corresponding to the first nine months of the exercise.
The Spanish stock market, where Inditex is listed, experienced an increase during the same period. Inditex's shares gained a 1.7% rise, closing at 62.75 euros. The company's sales also saw a 10% increase, reaching 9,709 million euros.
However, the overall Spanish stock market closed with a 1.75% drop, with ArcelorMittal, Amadeus, and Gamesa being the three values that experienced the most significant decrease. Despite this, Inditex is one of the three values of the Ibex that closed the session in the positive, alongside Bankia and BME.
The day on which these results were announced was marked by the color red in the stock market, but Inditex managed to buck the trend. It is worth noting that the CEO of Inditex, who introduced the earnings report on the morning of the previous day, is not explicitly mentioned in the search results. However, Pablo Isla, the former longtime CEO of Inditex, has recently been announced as the new Chairman of the Board at Nestlé, succeeding Paul Bulcke as of October 1, 2025.
This significant growth in Inditex's performance is a positive sign for the company, particularly as it navigates the challenges posed by the ongoing global pandemic. The increase in both net profit and sales demonstrates the resilience and adaptability of the company in the face of adversity.
As Inditex continues to grow and adapt, it remains a key player in the Spanish and global economy. The company's success serves as a testament to its strong business model and strategic approach to retail in the digital age.
