Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Zalando SE is an online retailer specializing in fashion and lifestyle products, with a market capitalization of approximately €6.29 billion.

The company's recent performance showed a significant improvement in net income from €16.8 million to €83 million year-over-year. However, sales growth projections for 2024 are modest at up to 5%, and the share price has been highly volatile recently. Trading at a substantial discount, Zalando presents an intriguing case for investors looking at growth potential balanced with current undervaluation.
