Trent
Branded Apparel
TRENT continues to consistently (eight consecutive quarter) deliver best-in-sector quarterly performance at all levels
(revenue, LFL, retail expansion, operating profit). LFL at 12% is highest in the apparel sector. Retail expansion rate (40%
YoY) continues to inspire confidence in the relative success of the Zudio franchise. Entry of Reliance, Shoppers Stop etc
at the value price point (~INR 500) with new retail formats is likely to intensify competition but we believe Zudio is likely
to lead the category growth with the benefits of scale (552 stores, ~INR 47bn revenue in FY24E), differentiation and
operational efficiency. Retail expansion is tracking well (40 Zudio and 7 Westside stores added), while store closures
stood at 4 in Zudio and 4 in Star. Net margin stands in good health. Maintain BUY.
