Trent: Recent updates

Trent reported around 20% growth in standalone (domestic) revenue to ₹4,937 crore in the March quarter of FY26. It was at ₹4,106 crore in the corresponding January-March period a year ago.

"Revenue from the sale of merchandise (excluding other operating income) grew 21% and 19% during the quarter and the year ended March 2026, respectively," said Trent, which operates popular fashion outlets under the Westside and Zudio retail format.

Trent has opened 22 Westside stores and 109 stores in its value retail format of Zudio.

Analysts tracking the stock said Trent’s standalone revenue growth of 20% appears to have been largely driven by strong store additions of 25% year-on-year across Westside and Zudio. They added that a meaningful portion of the reported growth is likely attributable to network expansion rather than like-for-like (LFL) performance.

The key takeaway of Trent's update is the sharp acceleration in Westside store additions, which grew 21% year-on-year, marking the strongest expansion phase for the format in many years.

For the entire FY26, Trent's standalone revenue from operations was ₹19,701 crore, up 18%.
