Trent Ltd Struggles as Nifty50's Worst Performer
Trent Ltd, a retail company, had a tough year in 2025, with its stock being the worst performer in the Nifty50 index.
The stock dropped 40% in 2025 and has continued to fall by 7% in 2026.
The company's sales growth has been slowing down due to less consumer demand and more competition.
In the last quarter of 2025, the company's revenue actually decreased by 17% compared to the same quarter the previous year.
While the number of stores is increasing, the revenue per store is going down, which is a concern for investors.
Analysts are not very optimistic about the company's growth in the near future, and the stock's performance is likely to depend on how well the company can improve its sales growth.
Trent Ltd's stock was the worst performer in the Nifty50 index in 2025, dropping 40%, and has fallen further by 7% in 2026.
The company's revenue growth declined by 17% year-on-year in Q3FY26 due to moderating sales growth and increasing competition.
Analysts expect Trent to achieve 33% revenue growth in Q4 to meet FY26 projections, which is considered highly unlikely.
The company opened 17 new Westside stores and 48 Zudio stores in Q3, bringing the total to 278 and 854 respectively.
Revenue per store declined by 11% year-on-year, indicating continued cannibalization in store-level sales.
