Zalando (ISIN DE000ZAL1111) was trading at EUR 27.23 at Lang & Schwarz on October 26, 2026, at 10:14 a.m. CEST, up 1.53 percent versus the Xetra close of October 23, 2026 at EUR 26.82. In its October 20, 2026 newsroom update, Zalando highlighted another quarter of profitable growth, while the Q2 FY2026 transcript detailed a tighter full-year outlook.

2026 outlook moves lower

Zalando now expects reported GMV and revenue growth in the lower half of its previous 12 percent to 17 percent range. Adjusted EBIT guidance was narrowed to EUR 680 million-EUR 720 million, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript. Management said the midpoint reflects logistics restructuring, operating efficiencies and synergies in the second half.

What does the outlook mean?

The key tension is the gap between scale and margin delivery. In the first half of 2026, reported GMV grew 21 percent and group revenue increased more than 22 percent year over year, while adjusted EBIT rose 16 percent to EUR 270 million and the adjusted EBIT margin reached 4.2 percent, the transcript said.

The Q2 figures also show where execution matters most. Pro forma GMV growth was 4.4 percent, and revenue reached EUR 3.1 billion on a pro forma basis. B2B revenue reached EUR 335 million, up 27.6 percent on a reported basis, giving the business a faster-growing counterweight to softer demand in sneakers.

Next results date is November 3

The next scheduled reporting date is November 3, 2026, when Zalando is expected to publish third-quarter results, according to MarketBeat. The cited consensus calls for revenue of USD 3.57 billion and adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.1888.
