TRENT

💹 Stock Market & Investor Sentiment

📈 Business & Financial Updates Trent reported around 17% year-on-year revenue growth for the June 2025 quarter, which was its slowest in over four years. The moderation was mainly due to a slowdown in urban discretionary spending and early monsoon impact. Despite softer topline growth, Trent maintained a healthy EBIT margin of about 11%, supported by better sourcing, automation, and cost control. Net profit growth has eased compared to previous years but remains positive; analysts expect a rebound in the festive quarter. 🏬 Expansion & Operations Trent continued its aggressive store expansion, especially through its value retail chain Zudio, opening over 200 new stores in FY25. The company is also strengthening its presence in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, targeting mid-income consumers and expanding online retail channels. Trent is exploring new private label products and collaborations to enhance margins in both Westside and Zudio formats. 💹 Stock Market & Investor Sentiment The stock has corrected about 15% from its September highs and nearly 40% from its all-time high, following slower revenue and profit growth. Several brokerages have revised their stance: some maintain a Buy rating due to long-term brand strength, while others have turned Neutral citing rich valuations and decelerating same-store sales. Despite the correction, Trent remains one of the most expensive retail stocks in India based on valuation multiples.
