The financial results presented by Inditex for the first quarter of the current financial year 2025 were neither received positively by the markets nor by the investor: inside.
The Shares of the Spanish Group opened the trade on Wednesday, June 11th, after the announcement of the results on the same morning with a decline in price to 46.08 euros. This corresponds to a minus of -6.36 percent compared to the closing price of Tuesday of 49.21 euros. On Tuesday, the Inditex shares had easily recovered, despite the warnings of various analyst: inside the group’s expected “weakness” of the group’s quarterly figures.
After the initial drop in the price, which accompanies every presentation of the results of Inditex, the share price recovered slightly to 47.50 euros. This value is still -3.47 percent below the closing price of Tuesday of 49.21 euros.
Cooling the sales, stagnating profits and higher stocks
The main reason for the course of the Inditex share is the quarterly figures published this morning. In the first quarter of 2025, the growth of the Spanish fashion group stagnated with 8.27 billion euros (+1.52 percent) as well as profit at 1.31 billion euros (+0.46 percent).
Although the group again emphasized the “strong growth opportunities” of its business model and promised a higher growth rate for the second quarter – at least at the beginning – these factors were unable to raise the mood in the markets.
Sales in the period from May 1 to June 9 increased by six percent in the year. The number of sales and profits as well as the inventory were decisive. Inditex announced that the inventory at the end of the first quarter was 6.3 percent above the previous year’s value due to the slowdown sales development. In the first quarter of 2024, the company had reduced its inventory by minus three percent to 3.57 billion euros. This result of an extraordinarily good development was now being carried out: at the end of the first quarter of 2025, on April 30th, the total bearing stocks amounted to 3.79 billion euros.
