Trent’s, which runs stores like Westside across India and has been on a generational run, saw stock jump 5% after reporting pretty solid earnings.
By the numbers:
- Revenue: ₹4,106 crore, up 28.8% YoY vs ₹3,187 crore
- EBITDA: ₹656 crore, up 37.5% YoY vs ₹477 crore
- EBITDA Margin: 16% vs 15% YoY
- Net Profit: ₹350 crore, down 46.5% YoY vs ₹654 crore, mostly due to an accounting change.
What’s happening: Westside added 13 stores in FY25, while Zudio—its affordable fashion rocket—opened 132 new outlets, including two in the UAE.
Trent now has 765 stores and continues to charge ahead in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.
The secret sauce: over 80% of sales come from private labels, backed by tight inventory cycles and faster design-to-shelf execution. That means fresh collections, better margins, and more loyal customers.
Zoom out: a young, trend-hungry India is refreshing its wardrobe at Insta speed — and brands like Trent are meeting the moment. Their scale allows them to hit the right fashion notes at the right price, reinforcing a flywheel that keeps pulling them ahead.
