Today, on 7th April 2025, the Indian Retail Company Trent witnessed a shocking crash of 17% in its share prices.

Trent’s Fourth Quarter Business Update
Trent reported a standalone revenue of Rs. 4,334 crore for Q4 FY25, marking a 28.2% increase compared to Rs. 3,381 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. But this marks a decline from 37% growth as experienced in the last quarter. Morgan Stanely predicted a 35% growth this quarter, but Trent fell short.
For the full fiscal year ending 31st March 31, Trent’s standalone revenue reached Rs. 17,624 crore, up 39% from Rs. 12,669 crore in FY24.
Goldman Sachs had projected 42% of standalone revenue YoY for the FY 2025. However, Trent only delivered 39%. Slower sales in the fourth quarter are expected for retail business because of unreliable seasonal fluctuations. However, analysts believe that this quarter’s weaker performance could be due to heavy discounts in prices or lower demand for Trent’s products.
