Regulatory Filings
Under Article 40, Section 1 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG), Zalando published a release concerning Europe‑wide distribution on 31 October 2025. This disclosure, repeated across several platforms (e.g., eqs-cockpit.com, Wallstreet‑Online), indicates compliance with EU regulatory requirements for the distribution of voting rights and other securities information.
In addition, the company issued a preliminary announcement regarding the forthcoming publication of its quarterly reports and interim statements. The announcement was made on 30 October 2025 and appeared on multiple financial information services such as EQS-News and Finanzen.net.

Market Context
Zalando’s market capitalization stands at €6.3 billion, with a price‑earnings ratio of 23.49. The company’s share price has fluctuated between a 52‑week high of €39.90 (16 February 2025) and a low of €22.52 (5 August 2025). The current close price of €24.26 (30 October 2025) reflects a significant drawdown from the year‑to‑date peak.
