Tata Group-owned Trent reported higher-than-expected profit growth in the June quarter with a robust rise in revenue, driven by broad-based sales across fashion and lifestyle.
Trent’s consolidated net profit rose 9.5% year-on-year (y-o-y) in Q1FY26 to Rs 430 crore, ahead of the estimated Rs 388 crore for the period. Revenue increased 19% y-o-y to Rs 4,833 crore against a Bloomberg estimate of Rs 5,196 crore for the period.
Earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) increased 38.2% y-o-y to Rs 848 crore, ahead of Street estimates of Rs 794 crore for the period. Ebitda margins expanded 250 basis points year-on-year to 17.4% in Q1, versus Street estimates of 15-16% for the period.
“The growth in revenue including across comparative micro markets was healthy, notwithstanding early onset of monsoon and geopolitical disruptions. For the fashion portfolio the like for like growth in Q1FY26 was in low single digits. The change in revenue participation across our concepts remains broadly in line with our strategic plans,” the company said on Wednesday.
Strategic Expansion and Retail Footprint
Trent operates retail stores under Westside, Zudio and Star. Shares of Trent settled at Rs 5,359.25 per share on the BSE, up 0.79% versus the previous day’s close.
As of June 30, 2025, Trent’s retail footprint comprised 248 Westside stores, 766 Zudio outlets—including two in the UAE—and 29 stores across its other lifestyle concepts.
“As we pursue the above agenda, we are also adding presence in newer cities across tier two and three markets,” the company said.
Driving Growth Through Digital and Diversification
Further, the retailer said that Westside.com together with its proposition on the Tata Neu platform continued to witness traction. In Q1, online revenue grew by 35% and contributed to over 6% of Westside revenue, the firm said.
