Spanish fashion retailer Inditex posted record profits for fiscal year 2025 on Wednesday, surpassing major fast-fashion rivals as sales growth remained steady across global markets.
The group, known for brands including Zara, reported net sales of €39.9 billion, up 3.2% from the previous year and 7% in constant currency terms, while net income climbed 6% to a company-high €6.2 billion. Analysts cited robust demand in both physical stores and online channels as key drivers.
Inditex’s results place it well ahead of competitors such as H&M Group and Fast Retailing’s Uniqlo, both of which posted slower sales growth and smaller profits over the same period. Operating margins were bolstered by higher-priced collections and efficiency improvements, underscoring the group’s ability to maintain profitability amid global economic pressures.

The retailer also maintained a strong cash position of €11 billion at year-end and announced plans for €2.3 billion in capital expenditure for 2026, targeting store upgrades, technology, and online expansion. By the end of the fiscal year, Inditex operated 5,460 stores worldwide and plans modest net selling space growth in the coming year.
Financial analysts said Inditex’s results highlight the resilience of its business model, combining agile supply chains with a broad brand portfolio that continues to attract customers despite increased competition in the fast-fashion segment.
