Zara owner Inditex posts record profit in 2025

Zara owner Inditex, the world's leading low-cost fashion retailer, posted a record annual profit for the third year running on Wednesday, seeing off strong international competition.

The Spanish group, which includes top brands such as Massimo Dutti, Pull & Bear and Bershka, reported a profit of 6.22 billion euros ($7.23 billion) in the fiscal year ending January 31.

That marked a six-percent rise on the 5.9 billion it raked in in 2024, which was also a group record, Inditex said.

The group, which employs more than 160,000 people and manages 5,460 stores worldwide, pointed to strong online sales growth.
