Zara Owner Inditex Shows Resilience With Strong Sales Gains

Zara owner Inditex SA registered a robust growth in sales in the early weeks of its current fiscal year, highlighting the retailer’s resilience in the face of weakening consumer sentiment that’s hitting many of its peers.

Easing concerns demand for fast fashion is cooling, the Arteixo, Spain-based company said in a statement Wednesday that revenue in constant currency rose 9% in the five weeks to March 8. That’s an acceleration from fiscal 2025, which saw sales, excluding foreign-exchange swings, rise 7%.
