Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • 2025 revenue reached €2.5 billion, up 8%, despite textile-market weakness.
  • Kiabi targets 40 2026 openings, seven new markets, and Argentina entry.
  • Ekstract launched February 2026; Spain kept expanding with its 74th store.

What critics are saying

  • The 2023 €100 million fraud scandal still stains trust and partner confidence.
  • Revelio says headcount fell 9.2% to 10,268 by March 2026.
  • Kiabi skipped city-center openings after Naples; margin pressure limits format flexibility.

  • Kolors stores and compact formats broaden reach without relying on premium malls.
  • Beebs and Micolet embed resale inside Kiabi’s retail and app ecosystem.
