According to experts, the Tata Group-owned company could report standalone revenue growth of 31-35% YoY between ₹4,210 crore to ₹4,370 crore. Meanwhile, Trent's net profit could fall 41-43% to ₹340-385 crore. Trent's net profit was ₹654 crore in the March quarter of FY24, aided by a one-time profit component.

During the March quarter, Trent crossed the 1,000 store portfolio milestone, including 248 Westside stores, 765 Zudio stores and 30 stores under other lifestyle concepts. During the quarter, the company opened 132 Zudio and 13 Westside stores.

Investors will be looking forward to key performance metrics such as like-for-like sales growth and management commentary on the overall demand outlook, particularly in urban areas. Dividend announcement if any will also be tracked closely.

Ahead of fourth quarter result announcement, Trent shares are trading 1.4% higher at ₹5,283.

Technical View

Shares of Trent sustained its bearish momentum within the downward trending channel and are currently trading below all the crucial exponential moving averages (EMAs). The stock has failed to reclaim its 200-day EMA.

However, it is important to note that the stock is currently placed around the crucial support zone of ₹4,900 and ₹5,100. Additionally, the stock is broadly consolidating between ₹5,750 and ₹4,700. Within this range, the stock may remain range-bound and a break above or below this range can provide further directional clues.

Options strategies for Trent

With the options market pricing in a potential ±11% move before the May 29 expiry, traders can explore Long Straddle and Short Straddle strategies to capitalize on the expected volatility.

A Long Straddle involves buying both an at-the-money (ATM) call and put option on Trent with the same strike price and expiry date. This strategy benefits from significant price swings exceeding ±11% in either direction, making it ideal for traders anticipating high volatility.
Conversely, if you expect Trent to remain range-bound, moving less than ±11% before the May 29 expiry, a Short Straddle could be a suitable approach. This strategy involves selling an ATM call and put option with the same strike price and expiry, aiming to profit from declining volatility if the stock remains within the projected range.

Meanwhile, traders seeking a bullish or bearish approach can explore directional spreads, which provide a risk-defined alternative to simple option buying.

For a bullish outlook, a bull call spread involves buying a call option while simultaneously selling a higher strike call with the same expiration, reducing cost while capping potential gains.
Conversely, for a bearish stance, a bear put spread consists of buying a put option and selling a lower strike put, balancing risk and reward.
