Investor disappointed with Trent’s recession
Trent Limited, known for brands such as Judio and Westside, had given a return of up to 800% in the last five years. But in 2025, the company’s shares declined by about 30%. At the same time, one year (year after year) has seen a 40% decline in the stock. It has also included it in the worst performing shares with TCS. There are some important reasons behind the company’s weak performance.
Standelone revenue growth in the first quarter of FY 2026 was 20%, compared to an average of 35% in the last 5 years.
In the annual general meeting, Trent has estimated only 20% increase in the next few quarters, lower than an analysts’ 25%+ estimates.
The supply chain has been affected due to problems in sourcing from Bangladesh.
These figures have alerted brokerage houses. Nuwama has given a hold rating to Trent and has cut revenue estimates by 5-6% for FY 26/27. Ebitda estimates have also been cut by 9–12%. Also, HSBC has also reduced the target price from ₹ 6,700 to ₹ 6,600.
Effect on the image of Tata Group
The decline of TCS and Trent has raised the question whether the trust of the market has started to waver on the Tata group companies too? Experts believe that this decline is more related to regional and global economic conditions than the basic principles of the company. Some brokerage companies like JM Financial still trust Tata. They believe that if the economic conditions are normal, the situation may improve from the second quarter of FY 2026. The TCS management has also indicated that the increase in the US and European markets in FY 2026 is expected to be better than the financial year 2025.
What should investors do?
If you are investing in a Tata group company, then it is time to think strategically, not to panic. In this era of decline, some companies are getting shares at a reasonable price, which may further improve further. However, instability in short -term may persist. Experts believe that shares such as TCS, Tata Motors, Titan and Tata Power may decline in a long period, but before investing, check the company’s recent earnings, debt, sector trends and management communications.
