Tata Group’s retail arm Trent Ltd has announced its Q4 earnings for the financial year 2025. The Trent Q4 Results 2025 show a mixed performance, with solid operational growth but a noticeable decline in reported profit. Investors, however, seemed happy with the results, as the stock surged over 5% after the announcement.
Profit Declines on a High Base
In the Trent Q4 Results 2025, the company reported a consolidated net profit between ₹311 crore and ₹318 crore. This is nearly 55–56% lower compared to ₹704 crore (or ₹712 crore as per some sources) recorded in the same quarter last year. However, it’s important to note that last year’s profit was significantly boosted by a one-time exceptional gain of ₹543 crore. Without that one-off item, this year’s profit performance is more in line with expectations.
Revenue Sees Steady Growth
One of the highlights from the Trent Q4 Results 2025 was the strong revenue growth. The company posted consolidated revenue from operations of ₹4,216.94 crore, marking a 27–28% jump year-on-year from ₹3,297.70 crore. Provisional figures even suggest revenue may have touched ₹4,434 crore, though this represents the slowest growth in the past 16 quarters. Still, the topline growth shows that demand remained robust.
Operating Margins Improve
Trent’s operating performance was solid in Q4 FY25. EBITDA rose by 37% year-on-year to ₹656 crore, beating analyst expectations of ₹580 crore. The EBITDA margin stood at 16%, up from 15% a year ago. Operating EBIT margin also improved to 9.3%, compared to 8.3% last year. These figures reflect better cost management and operational efficiency, despite a slower pace of revenue growth.
Strong Store Expansion Continues
Trent continued its aggressive store rollout strategy during the March quarter. The company added 13 new Westside stores and a whopping 132 new Zudio outlets. As of March 31, 2025, its total store count reached 248 for Westside, 765 for Zudio (including two in the UAE), and 30 for other lifestyle brands. This rapid expansion signals the company’s strong focus on capturing more of India’s retail market.
Dividend Announcement
Along with the Trent Q4 Results 2025, the board also announced a dividend of ₹5 per equity share. This represents 500% of the face value, offering good returns to long-term shareholders and further boosting investor sentiment.

Market Reaction and Analyst View
Despite the headline profit fall, the market reacted positively to the Trent Q4 Results 2025. The company’s stock jumped by 5.8%, closing at ₹5,510 on the day of the announcement. This rally came because the actual profit after tax (₹318–350 crore range) beat market expectations, which were around ₹303 crore. Analysts also appreciated the strong operating numbers, improved margins, and the pace of store additions.
Most investors viewed the profit drop as a result of a one-time high base effect rather than a performance issue. The company’s focus on long-term growth and maintaining strong operating metrics has reassured the market about its direction.
Final Thoughts
The Trent Q4 Results 2025 reflect a company that continues to grow its core business steadily. While the headline profit dropped due to last year’s exceptional gain, the strong rise in revenue, margin improvement, and continued store expansion paint a positive picture. The market’s enthusiastic response shows that investors are more focused on the underlying growth than temporary profit comparisons.
Going forward, Trent’s strategy around expanding its Zudio and Westside brands, while maintaining profitability, will be key to sustaining this momentum in FY26.
