Shares of Spanish company Inditex (ITX.ES), responsible for brands such as Zara, Bershka, Massimo Dutti and Pull&Bear, among others, are gaining more than 5.5% today following the release of strong results for the first part of the year.
What pleases investors in particular is the company's strong performance in both a tough period in seasonal terms and an uncertain global economic situation. The company's results indicate that, despite circular pressures, the company's core brand collections have found their audience. Inditex intends to spend €2.7 billion this year to implement new technologies across the company and expand its logistics capacity, which will include increased throughput for Zara, Bershka and footwear brands.
