Inditex stock is underpinned by stronger recent fundamentals after the Spanish fashion group (ISIN ES0148396007) reported double digit annual growth in sales and profit and raised its dividend, according to the companys published full year figures for fiscal 2024 ended 31 January 2024.
Revenue growth above ten percent
According to Inditexs latest annual report for fiscal year 2024, the owner of Zara, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti and Bershka generated revenue of EUR 35.95 billion, an increase of 10.4% compared with EUR 32.57 billion in fiscal 2023, as the group expanded sales both in stores and online.
Net income for fiscal 2024 reached EUR 5.38 billion, up 30.3% from EUR 4.13 billion in the previous year, driven by higher sales, operating leverage and tight cost control across its global store and logistics network.
On the profitability side, Inditex reported an EBITDA of EUR 9.85 billion for fiscal 2024 versus EUR 8.62 billion a year earlier, implying EBITDA growth of 14.3% and reflecting margin resilience despite inflationary pressures in sourcing and labor.
Dividend increased with strong cash generation
The group announced a higher total dividend of EUR 1.54 per share for fiscal 2024, compared with EUR 1.20 per share for fiscal 2023, representing a 28.3% increase supported by strong free cash flow and a robust net cash position.
Inditex also highlighted capital expenditure of around EUR 1.8 billion in fiscal 2024 focused on larger, more efficient flagship stores and supply chain technology, with management indicating that investment levels should remain elevated to support integrated store and online growth.
The company reported that its net cash position at the end of fiscal 2024 was in the high single digit billion euro range, reinforcing its capacity to continue funding capex, working capital and shareholder returns without resorting to additional debt financing.

Zara and online drive scale

Management has emphasized that online sales now account for a meaningful share of total revenue and that the combined store and digital platform allows the group to adjust inventory quickly and reduce markdowns compared with traditional seasonal fashion models.
