Trent Share Price Down 41% in 2025; Faces First Annual Fall in 12 Years

Trent’s share price (NSE: TRENT) slipped to a 52-week low of ₹4,165 on December 3, 2025, falling another 1.5% in intraday trade. Over the past month, the stock has dropped 12%, while the Sensex gained 1%.

Worst Performance in 12 Years

So far in 2025, the Tata Group retail company has fallen 41%, compared to an 8% rise in the benchmark index. If this trend continues, it will be Trent’s first annual decline since 2013.

This comes after 2 strong years; Trent shares rose 126% in 2023 and 133% in 2024.

Why the Trent Share Price Is Underperforming

Revenue Growth Slowing

Trent’s revenue growth has consistently missed market expectations in recent quarters.
In H1 FY26 (Apr–Sep 2025):

• Consolidated revenue grew 18.4% YoY to ₹9,505 crore
• Growth was affected by:
  • Weak consumer demand
  • New store openings
  • Slow traction in Tier 2 & 3 cities

Margins Under Pressure

• Gross margin fell by 97 bps to 44.2%
• EBITDA margin improved to 17.4%, with EBITDA rising 32% YoY
• Cost efficiency improved employee and rental costs
• But higher depreciation from new stores and lower other income offset gains

This led to a 14% rise in adjusted PAT to ₹873 crore.

Business Segments Behind Trent

Trent operates several retail formats:

• Westside – fashion retail
• Zudio – affordable fast-fashion, expanding aggressively
• Star – grocery and daily essentials, still limited to about 10 cities

The company added 12 new stores in April–June: 1 Westside and 11 Zudio.

Conclusion

Trent’s sharp slide in 2025 is mainly due to slowing revenue growth, weaker demand, and rising depreciation from rapid expansion.
