Trent Posts 7% Share Price Gain Despite 20% Revenue Growth in March Quarter

Trent Share Price Rises 7 Percent as Standalone Revenue Sees 20 Percent Growth

Trent, the fast-fashion retailer, experienced a significant surge in its share price on Monday, rising 7 percent in the trading session. This upswing was largely driven by the company's standalone revenue, which saw a notable 20 percent increase in the March quarter, marking a recovery from the slowest growth in four years recorded earlier in fiscal 2026.

The company's shares jumped 6.8 percent to an intraday high of Rs 3,791.90 per share on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The stock opened with a gain of 2.37 percent, marking a gap-up in trading. Trent's stock has been on an upward trend for the last three trading sessions, with a gain of nearly 14 percent in the period.

Key highlights of Trent's financial performance include a 20 percent year-on-year (YoY) increase in standalone revenue from operations to Rs 4,937 crore in Q4FY26, compared to Rs 4,106 crore in the year-ago period. For the full year, revenue grew 18 percent YoY to Rs 19,701 crore, up from Rs 16,668 crore in FY25.

The increase in revenue from the sale of merchandise, excluding other operating income, was 21 percent YoY in the quarter and 19 percent for the full year ended March 2026. The September tax cuts also contributed to the growth, putting more disposable income in the hands of consumers.

Trent has been expanding its presence through a series of store openings, with its store count increasing to 1,286 by March 31, compared to approximately 1,043 a year earlier. The Tata group firm, which operates youth-focused fashion chains Zudio and Westside, plans to further expand its presence in smaller cities and towns in India, betting on demand growth outside key metro markets.
