Zalando stock (ISIN DE000ZAL1111) is trading moderately higher after investors digested the online fashion platform’s first-half 2026 results, which showed rising revenue and improved profitability compared with the previous year as of August 2026.
First-half 2026 results underpin the move
According to Zalando, revenue in the first half of fiscal 2026 increased compared with the same period in 2025, reflecting continued customer growth and higher order volumes in its core European markets.
In the same first-half 2026 period, Zalando reported a clear improvement in operating profitability versus the prior year, with its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rising compared with the first half of 2025, supported by lower fulfillment costs and more efficient marketing spending, as stated by Zalando.
Guidance and analyst focus on margins
For fiscal year 2026, Zalando has confirmed its full-year guidance ranges for revenue growth and adjusted EBIT, signaling management’s confidence that the improved margins seen in the first half of 2026 can be maintained over the rest of the year, according to Zalando.
Analysts now largely focus on how far Zalando can push its margin improvement, with consensus expecting the adjusted EBIT margin in fiscal 2026 to be higher than in fiscal 2025 as the company benefits from scale effects in logistics and technology, as reported by Zalando.
