Tata's Trent Share Price Tanks 16% in Market Crash, Motilal Oswal Says 'Buy', 22% Upside Predicted

Tata Group's retail arm, Trent Ltd, saw its shares plunge deep into the red today amid a massive sell-off in the broader equity market. The stock recorded its biggest single-day decline in recent times as panic gripped investors and triggered widespread selling across sectors.

The sharp correction in Trent shares came after the U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of new tariffs on over 90 countries last week. Global markets reacted strongly, with U.S. and Asian markets bearing the brunt, and Indian equities also coming under intense pressure. On this fateful trading day, the BSE Sensex nosedived by 3,259 points, slipping to 72,105 by noon, while the Nifty 50 shed 1,056 points, or 4.61%, to trade at 22,847.

Trent Share Price Today

On April 7th, shares of Trent Ltd witnessed a sharp decline, falling 43% from their 52-week high range. By noon, the stock had plunged 16.55% to ₹4,642, marking one of its steepest intraday drops in the last five years.

While the stock traded relatively flat last week with minimal movement, the broader trend has been concerning. Over the last six months, Trent shares have dropped nearly 37%. If the current downtrend continues, the stock is likely to approach its 52-week low of ₹3,894. As of now, Trent is down 44% from its 52-week high, which has raised red flags among investors. Trents's market capitalisation also fell drastically, as of 7th April Trrent's Market Cap stood at Rs. 1.65 lac crores

Trent Q4FY25 Pre-Quarter Update

Trent Ltd released its Q4FY25 pre-quarter update, showing strong growth in revenue. The company reported a 28% year-on-year (YoY) growth in standalone revenue, including GST, reaching ₹4,330 crore. While this is slightly lower than the 36% YoY growth in Q3FY25, it still indicates steady performance despite some moderation in same-store sales growth (SSSG).

Trent's annualized revenue per store for the quarter remained flat at ₹16.8 crore, compared to 8% growth in the previous quarter. On the expansion front, Trent added 136 net new stores in Q4FY25, marking a 29% YoY increase across its fashion brands. Most of these new stores were opened toward the end of the quarter.

In its flagship brand Westside, the company opened 13 new stores and consolidated three, taking the total to 248 stores (up 7% YoY). Notably, Westside has been opening larger-format stores in recent quarters to enhance customer experience. Zudio, Trent's mass-market fashion brand, saw rapid expansion with 132 new store openings and two closures in Q4, bringing the total store count to 765, a massive 40% YoY growth. Meanwhile, Trent likely closed a net of four stores under other fashion formats during the quarter.

Trent Share Price Target

Trent received a strong 'Buy' rating from Motilal Oswal where the firm sees a potential upside of 22% from the current market price and has set a target price of Rs. 6,800 for the stock in its research report dated 5th April. The positive outlook from Motilal Oswal is mainly due to Trent's strong revenue growth where Trent reported FY25 standalone revenue (including GST) of Rs. 17,600 crore, showing a 39% year-on-year (YoY) growth. Although this is slightly lower than the 55% YoY growth in FY24, it still signals consistent business momentum.

The company is also scaling across its key fashion brands, Westside and Zudio which is a major growth catalyst. However with this sharp sell off in the market today Trent share movements in the upcoming days will be crucial as other Tata group stocks are also trading in the negative zone just like many other companies today.
