Investors interested in stocks from the Retail - Apparel and Shoes sector have probably already heard of Urban Outfitters (URBN) and Ermenegildo Zegna N.V. (ZGN). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors?

URBN's Nuuly nears 500,000 subscribers as strong revenue growth and improving profitability reinforce the scalability of its rental business.

Urban Outfitters remains a top retail pick amid expectations for a broadening market rally into lagging small and mid-caps. URBN continues to deliver robust comp sales and earnings growth, outperforming industry peers despite a nearly 10% YTD share price decline. Shares trade at modest valuation multiples—11.3x FY26 P/E and 10.4x FY27 P/E—despite strong fundamentals and a solid customer base.

Urban Outfitters benefits from strength across retail, wholesale and Nuuly businesses, with digital growth and subscriber gains supporting momentum.
