Trent reported an improvement in its operating EBIT margin to 11.6% in Q2FY27, up from 10.5% in the year-ago quarter, supported by the continued expansion of its fashion retail business across markets.
During the quarter, the company inaugurated its 1,000th Zudio store, further strengthening its position in the value-fashion segment. As of September 30, 2026, Trent operated 311 Westside outlets, 999 Zudio stores, including seven in the UAE, and 32 stores under other lifestyle concepts.

“Our brands experienced solid traction during the quarter. It was encouraging to witness a more robust consumer sentiment despite the relatively inflationary backdrop. We are increasingly expanding our presence across diverse markets, including in many Tier 2 and Tier 3 locations. The compelling reception we are witnessing gives us the conviction to double down into more hinterlands,” said Noel N Tata, Chairman, Trent Limited.
Trent share price – Should you buy, sell or hold?
Brokerage firm Elara Capital has upgraded the Tata Group stock to ‘buy’ and has retained it as its top stock pick in the retail sector. The brokerage firm has given a target price of ₹3600, seeing an upside potential up to 26%.
“We upgrade TRENT to Buy and retain it as our preferred pick within retail. The stock fell ~7% from its three-month peak, providing an attractive entry opportunity. While near-term earnings growth is relatively subdued owing to inflation, we expect a meaningful acceleration in FY28E, with earnings growth of 25% in FY27E-29E. We raise our TP to INR 3,600 (from INR 3,500), reflecting a modest upward revision to EPS estimates, based on 64x Sep-28E standalone P/E, 2x EV/Sales for Star Bazaar, and 40x P/E for Zara and Massimo Dutti. Our rating upgrade also reflects better medium-term earnings visibility, and healthy return ratios. Key risks are slower LFL recovery and prolonged inflation in fabric,” the firm said in a note.
Meanwhile, brokerage firm Motilal Oswal has reiterated its ‘buy’ rating on the Trent stock, with a revised target price of ₹3,700, seeing an upside potential up to 29%.
“We raise FY27-29E standalone Pre IND-AS EBITDA by ~3-4%, largely driven by slightly higher growth and operating leverage. We now build in a FY26-29E CAGR of ~21%/28%/22% in standalone revenue/Pre-Ind AS EBITDA/Adj. PAT. We reiterate our BUY rating with a revised TP of INR3,700, premised on 35x Dec’28 pre-IND AS EV/EBITDA for Trent standalone (Westside+Zudio),” the brokerage firm said.
