Zalando reports higher third-quarter revenue and results that beat analysts’ sales expectations, while unveiling its first AI-powered shopping tool. The company says revenue rises 5.1% year on year to €3.18bn, with investors reacting to concerns about weaker margins despite the stronger-than-expected top line.
Outlet coverage also highlights growth in Zalando’s business-to-business (B2B) operations and related metrics. Multiple reports say the B2B division expands sharply, alongside increases in gross merchandise volume (GMV) and overall commercial activity. One outlet frames the story around an AI “shopping push” designed to support how customers shop, while other coverage foregrounds the financial performance and the B2B segment’s contribution.
Across sources, the core picture is consistent: Zalando tops forecasts for the quarter and points to momentum in its B2B business, with the AI product launch adding a tech-oriented dimension. Differences are mainly in which figures are emphasised, and how much attention is paid to margins versus revenue and growth rates.
