Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Trent Ltd has a market capitalisation of about ₹1,39,909 crore. Over five years it has grown sales at a 51% CAGR and profit at a 69% CAGR, and its three-year ROE is 29%. Growth has slowed sharply on a trailing basis, with TTM sales up 17% and TTM profit up 15%. The stock trades at 78.3x earnings and 20.35x book value and has returned -14% over the past year.
- Profit growth has been exceptional: 69% CAGR over 5 years, 71% over 3 years and 43% over 10 years. This shows the business has kept scaling earnings over a long period.
- Revenue growth has been high: sales grew at a 51% CAGR over 5 years and 35% over 3 years. This suggests the store network and formats have expanded strongly.
- Return on equity has improved steadily, from a 10-year average of 17% to a 5-year average of 24% and a 3-year average of 29%. Last year's ROE was 28%, which points to better capital efficiency as the business grew.
- Growth has held up over a long period. Median annual sales growth over 10 years is 27.2%, and the 10-year sales CAGR is 28%, so the growth is not driven by just a few unusual years.
- Profit has grown faster than sales over the long term: 43% vs 28% CAGR over 10 years, and 69% vs 51% over 5 years. This indicates operating leverage and margin gains as the business scaled.
- Long-term shareholder returns have been strong: 34% CAGR over 10 years and 32% over 5 years. This compounding held up through several market cycles.
- Even after slowing, TTM sales growth of 17% is still double-digit on a much larger revenue base than five years ago.
- The valuation is high: a P/E of 78.3x and a P/B of 20.35x build in expectations of sustained high growth. That leaves little room if execution falters.
- Growth has slowed sharply. TTM sales growth of 17% is about half the 3-year CAGR of 35% and a third of the 5-year CAGR of 51%.
- Profit growth has slowed even more: TTM profit growth of 15% compares with a 3-year CAGR of 71%. At a P/E of 78.3, that implies a PEG ratio of roughly 5.2 on trailing growth.
- On a trailing basis, profit growth (15%) now lags sales growth (17%). This reverses the long-term pattern of operating leverage and may signal margin pressure from costs or competition.
- The stock has returned -14% over the past year, against a 3-year CAGR of 24% and a 5-year CAGR of 32%. This suggests the market is re-rating it as growth slows.
- The dividend yield is just 0.15%, which gives almost no income cushion if the valuation multiple contracts.
- Key balance-sheet figures (debt-to-equity, ROCE, EPS) are unavailable in this dataset. That limits any assessment of leverage, including lease liabilities typical of retail store expansion.

AI News Digest
- Zudio crosses 1,000 stores Sep 11
Trent's value-fashion brand Zudio has passed 1,000 stores, which points to a fast store rollout. The retailer also says it has served over 100 million customers as of September 2026.
TL;DR: Trent's growth engine is still running, with Zudio passing 1,000 stores and the retailer reporting more than 100 million customers served. This is the only article provided, so no headwinds or neutral developments are covered, and it says nothing about same-store sales, margins, competition or valuation. Expanding this fast could also bring cannibalization and execution risk. The trend looks positive on scale, and the next quarterly results on like-for-like growth and profitability will show whether the store expansion is turning into earnings.
