Trent Ltd shares tanked 18.02% to ₹4,560.25 in early trade on Monday, wiping out over ₹30,000 crore in market capitalisation. This marks the Tata Group retail stock’s sharpest single-day fall in ten months, triggered by weaker-than-expected Q4 performance updates.
In its quarterly update on Saturday, the company reported a 28.2% year-on-year rise in standalone revenue for Q4FY25 to ₹4,334 crore. While the annual revenue surged 39% to ₹17,624 crore, foreign brokerages flagged a miss on sales expectations. Goldman Sachs slashed its price target from ₹7,500 to ₹6,760, citing soft topline momentum. Morgan Stanley also noted underwhelming revenue growth for the quarter.
With today’s sharp drop, Trent shares have now corrected nearly 46% from their all-time high of ₹8,345 hit in October 2024. The stock has also slipped below its 30-day moving average of ₹5,153.5, and its RSI stands at 59.2 — indicating neutral technical strength.
Trent operates the popular Westside, Zudio, and Star retail chains, and despite strong annual growth, analysts believe lofty valuations and slowing quarter-on-quarter growth are weighing on investor sentiment.
Meanwhile, six Tata Group firms in the Nifty 50 — including Trent, Tata Steel, Tata Motors, TCS, Titan and Tata Consumer — together lost over ₹1 lakh crore in market value during Monday’s trade.
Out of 24 analysts covering the stock, 17 have a ‘Buy’, three say ‘Hold’, and four recommend a ‘Sell’.
