Trent Reports Q4 Revenue Growth Amid Margin Gains and Market Challenges

Trent Ltd reported a 20% revenue growth in Q4FY26, reversing a six-quarter decline, driven by store additions and improved like-for-like sales in its fashion segment. The company expanded its store network, adding 22 Westside and 109 Zudio outlets in the quarter. Gross margins rose by 170 basis points, supported by a favorable sales mix and cost controls, leading to a 43% increase in pre-IND AS EBITDA. However, analysts note challenges ahead from softening demand, rising input costs, and high stock valuations that may limit near-term gains.
