And it is that a 78% of the nearly 30 analysts who cover its evolution on the trading floor It now advises taking positions in Inditex compared to the 52% that did so at the beginning of the year, according to data compiled from FactSet.

Still far from supports

“The value has managed to react upwards to the heat of results that have been better than what the market consensus expected”, highlights Joan Cabrero, technical analyst and adviser at Ecotrader, who stresses that “this short-term rebound what does is reinforce, in case there was any doubt, the support of the €20.50 as a dividing line that separates a bullish context from a potentially bearish one in which a relapse to 17-18 euros would be sung “.
“In the short term”, continues the expert, “I would like to see how the buying pressure manages to beat the resistance presented by Inditex in the 24 eurossomething that would allow me to rule out a bearish pattern in the form of HCH and favor increases towards further targets on the ceiling of the channel at 27 euros”.
An EBITDA 5% higher than expected
