Ermenegildo Zegna ( (ZGN) ) has issued an update.

On April 30, 2026, Ermenegildo Zegna Group reported unaudited first-quarter 2026 revenues of €470.2 million, up 2.5% year-on-year and 7.4% on an organic basis, underscoring a solid start to the year driven by accelerating direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales. Group DTC revenues rose 7.8% to €371.9 million, or 14.2% on an organic basis, lifting the DTC share of branded sales to 85% as wholesale revenues fell 19.1%, reflecting the company’s deliberate shift away from wholesale channels.

By brand, ZEGNA led growth with revenues climbing 5.9% to €310.3 million, or 11.3% organically, supported by robust DTC momentum and double-digit gains in the Americas and EMEA as well as a return to growth in Greater China. Thom Browne revenues declined 9.4% (3.0% organically) as strong double-digit DTC expansion was offset by a sharp wholesale contraction, while TOM FORD FASHION inched up 0.4% (5.4% organically), aided by solid DTC performance and marketing around a March fashion show, reinforcing the Group’s strategic tilt toward brand elevation and direct retail engagement.

The most recent analyst rating on (ZGN) stock is a Buy with a $14.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ermenegildo Zegna stock, see the ZGN Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on ZGN Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ZGN is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by solid financial quality—especially strong cash flow and improving balance sheet leverage—tempered by weakening revenue/margin trends. The earnings call supports a constructive longer-term story (DTC mix, gross margin, net cash) but near-term guidance is cautious with FX, SG&A, and wholesale headwinds. Technical signals are mixed and valuation is reasonable-to-full with only a modest dividend.
