Key financials Zalando reports gross margins of 39.8% but narrow operating margins at -2.7% and net margins of 0.9%. Revenue grew 23.8% year-over-year, while EPS declined -21.8%. ROE stands at 4.3%, ROA at 2.4%, and ROCE at 13.1%, reflecting modest profitability despite top-line growth.
Stock health The stock shows strong momentum with 3-month gains of 43.79% and an RSI(14) of 73.00, indicating overbought conditions. Strength and momentum scores are 62.1 and 67.6, respectively, but quality metrics are weak at 41.9. The Piotroski F-Score is 6/9 and Altman Z is 2.65, signaling moderate financial health.
Price vs fair value The stock trades at a **discount of 96.00%** to our fair-value estimate of 59.28 and a **discount of 16.93%** to the analyst 12-month target of 35.36. - Forward P/E of 26.67 vs trailing P/E of 66.86 signals high near-term earnings expectations. - EV/EBITDA of 9.97 is below the sector median, suggesting undervaluation on cash flow. - Momentum is strong (3m 43.79%, 6m 24.55%), but profitability remains thin (net margin 0.9%).
Looking forward Analysts expect a forward PEG of 0.18, implying low valuation relative to growth, though growth quality is mixed (revenue +23.8%, EPS -21.8%). The valuation percentile of 60.8 suggests fair value alignment, but weak quality scores and high beta (1.57) warrant caution.
