MADRID (Reuters) – The world’s biggest fashion retailer Inditex cemented its recovery to pre-pandemic levels on Wednesday, posting a net profit of 2.5 billion euros ($2.82 billion) in the first nine months of its fiscal year, 273% more than in the same period a year ago, as shoppers massively returned to their former habits.
The company’s sales during the February-October period reached 19.33 billion euros, up from the 14.1 billion euros in the same period last year, but still below the 19.8 billion euros reported in 2019.
