Bernstein Cuts Trent Price Target, Maintains ‘Outperform’ on Recovery View

Shares of Tata Group’s retail arm, Trent Ltd., will be in focus on Tuesday after global brokerage Bernstein revised its price target downwards while maintaining an optimistic long-term view.

Revised Target and Rating:
Bernstein cut its price target on Trent to ₹5,000, which still implies a potential upside of approximately 19% from Monday’s closing price. The brokerage has maintained its ‘Outperform’ rating.

Rationale for Recovery:
The brokerage believes Trent’s revenue growth has bottomed out and highlighted several drivers for a rebound:

  • Positive Like-for-Like Growth: Expected in split stores due to a favorable base.
  • Zudio Expansion: Strong network growth with a projected 20% CAGR over the next three years.
  • Improved Demand: A better consumer demand environment.
  • Steady Momentum: Continued strength in the Westside brand.

Key Risk and Growth Outlook:
Bernstein flagged rising competition—particularly from new store additions and attempts to replicate Zudio’s value-fashion model—as the primary risk.

The brokerage expects revenue to grow 19% in FY26 and projects a 20% CAGR for the FY26–FY28 period.

Analyst Sentiment and Stock Performance:
Of the 28 analysts covering the stock:

  • 17 have a ‘Buy’ rating.
  • 5 recommend ‘Hold’.
  • 6 have a ‘Sell’ recommendation.

Trent’s shares ended Monday 0.76% lower at ₹4,218. The stock has declined nearly 11% in the past month and is down 40% year-to-date in 2025.
