Zalando : Agentic commerce – risks priced in, opportunities ignored

Despite good fundamentals, Zalando’s negative share price performance in the last few months was largely driven by concerns around agentic commerce. In this report, we show that agentic commerce provides opportunities for Zalando such as faster-growing online penetration in European fashion, Zalando becoming the preferred partner of agents, and lower costs. We also look at possible impact on operating margin under different scenarios (from +100bp to -140bp dependingon the role of the agent ). Overall, we think the risks are priced in and the opportunities are ignored on agentic commerce. We maintain our Outperform rating with a TP of € 40.
