Shares of Trent Ltd declined by 2.72% on Tuesday to Rs 5,245, following the release of its Q4 FY25 earnings, which revealed a sharp drop in standalone net profit. The Tata Group retail company posted a standalone net profit of Rs 350 crore for the quarter ended March 2025, down from Rs 654 crore in the same period last year. However, the profit figure exceeded brokerage estimates had projected Rs 344 crore. Notably, the Q4 FY24 figure included an exceptional gain of Rs 543 crore due to lease term reassessment.
On a consolidated level, Trent reported a 40% year-on-year rise in profit to Rs 416 crore, excluding the impact of exceptional items. The company’s operating EBIT margin also improved, rising to 9.3% in Q4 FY25 from 8.3% a year ago.
Standalone revenue from operations increased 29% YoY to Rs 4,203.14 crore from Rs 3,260.2 crore, though it marked an 8% decline sequentially. On a consolidated basis, total income stood at Rs 4,291.3 crore, up 27.2% YoY but down 9% from the December quarter’s Rs 4,710.2 crore. This sequential drop points to a cooling trend in the fast fashion market from the post-pandemic surge.
At 9:18 AM, Trent’s stock was trading at Rs 5,245, down Rs 146.50 from its previous close of Rs 5,391.50, with a market capitalization of Rs 1.86 lakh crore.
