Financial Metrics and Valuation Insights
Trent . reported flat financial results in the quarter ending September 2025. The company’s return on capital employed (ROCE) stands at 26.8%, indicating efficient use of capital, yet the valuation metrics suggest a relatively high enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 19.1. This places the stock at a premium compared to its peers’ historical averages, despite the current price discount.
Profit growth over the past year has been recorded at 19%, while the price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is 4.7, reflecting the relationship between valuation and earnings growth. Despite these figures, the stock’s price has not reflected this profitability, as evidenced by its negative returns over the last twelve months.
Operational and Market Positioning Factors
The company maintains a high return on equity (ROE) of 19.25%, underscoring management’s effectiveness in generating shareholder value. Net sales have expanded at an annual rate of 47.45%, with operating profit growing by 76.65%, signalling robust top-line and operating performance over the longer term.

Sector and Market Capitalisation Context
Within the garments and apparels sector, Trent . ranks second in market capitalisation behind Avenue Supermarts. Its substantial market share and sales contribution highlight its importance in the industry landscape. However, the stock’s recent price performance contrasts with the sector’s overall dynamics, where mid-cap stocks have shown modest gains.
The stock’s proximity to its 52-week low, combined with its position below all major moving averages, suggests a period of consolidation or correction relative to its historical price levels. This movement occurs despite the company’s solid financial metrics and sizeable market presence.
Summary of Key Price and Performance Indicators
To summarise, Trent . closed near its 52-week low of ₹3,986.40, with the current price just 0.14% above this level. The stock has declined by over 43% in the past year, contrasting with the Sensex’s positive return of 3.55%. It has underperformed its sector and broader market indices, trading below all significant moving averages. Despite this, the company exhibits strong sales growth, profitability, and management efficiency metrics.
These factors collectively paint a complex picture of Trent .’s current market standing, reflecting both the challenges in price performance and the underlying financial strength of the company.
