Trent Shares Rise Over 4% In Early Trade On Strong Q4 Update

Strong Q4 Performance

• 22 new Westside stores

Q3 Showed Mixed Profit, Strong Revenue

Trent’s December quarter numbers showed a small rise in profit. Consolidated net profit grew 3% year-on-year to ₹513 crore, up from ₹497 crore last year. Profit growth was limited, but revenue held up well.

Revenue from operations increased 15% to ₹5,345 crore, helped by store additions and steady demand. Standalone performance was stronger during the quarter:

• Profit after tax rose 36% to ₹640 crore

• Standalone revenue grew 16% to ₹5,259 crore

Consolidated operating performance improved as well. Its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) climbed 20% YoY to ₹837 crore. The earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin edged up to 13.8% from 13.2% a year ago, showing tighter cost control and gains from scale.

The Q4 update and continued store expansion point to steady execution in the core business, even as the stock has been under pressure in recent months.
