C&A Modas has posted its 20th consecutive quarter of margin expansion and record profitability, driven by strong digital growth and cost discipline, despite facing headwinds from reduced consumer traffic during the World Cup and rising inventory levels.

  • New details from the earnings call highlight a record adjusted net income of BRL 130 million and a 33.3% surge in digital sales, though management flagged that FIFA World Cup traffic dips and an 18-day increase in inventory days are key headwinds, according to GN markets/earnings (en-US).
