Asal mein, Trent Ltd ne apne shareholders se 1:2 bonus share issue karne ke liye approval manga hai. Iska matlab simple hai, har 2 share par aapko 1 naya share milega, bilkul free! Ye sab 29 May 2026 tak share rakhene walon ke liye hai, aur iske liye company apne 'securities premium account' se ₹17.78 crore use karne wali hai.
Aur sirf shareholders hi nahi, company apne employees ko bhi reward kar rahi hai. Unhone 'Trent Limited Employee Stock Option Plan 2026' bhi announce kiya hai, jisme employees ko 888,700 stock options mil sakte hain, jinko woh ₹3,978 per share ke rate se buy kar sakte hain. Ye options company ke total share capital ka lagbhag 0.25% banta hai.
Ab, ye sab toh ho gaya ek taraf. Lekin dusri taraf, market mein is company ki valuation ko lekar kaafi charcha hai. Trent ka business toh zabardast chal raha hai, revenue bhi 37.02% YoY aur Q4 FY26 mein 19.23% badha hai. Is wajah se company ka market cap ab ₹1.51 Trillion cross kar gaya hai.
Par problem ye hai ki iska P/E ratio 77-90 ke beech mein hai, jo competitors ke muqable kaafi high hai. Analysts bhi thoda soch mein hain. Kuch 'Buy' rating de rahe hain aur ₹4,800 ka target de rahe hain, jaise Systematix jinhone target ₹4,848 set kiya hai, par rating 'Hold' rakhi hai. Unka kehna hai ki company ne cost efficiencies se jitna fayda uthana tha utha liya hai, ab profit margins mein aur bade jumps ki ummeed kam hai. Is high valuation ko justify karne ke liye future growth kaafi strong honi chahiye, aur agar koi gadbad hui toh market react kar sakta hai.
Ye Trent ka January 2000 ke baad pehla bonus issue hai. Isse shayad wo investors ko reward karna chahte hain aur stock ki liquidity bhi badhana chahte hain. Waise bhi, Shoppers Stop aur Aditya Birla Fashion jaise competitors losses mein hain, toh Trent ki position abhi achhi hai, par premium valuation ek major challenge toh hai hi.
Trent ka plan hai ki woh apne stores expand karte rahenge aur medium term mein 18-20% revenue growth maintain karne ki koshish karenge. Lekin sabse badi challenge yehi hai ki is expensive valuation ko justify kaise karein aur apni profit margins ko kaise barkarar rakhein, khaas kar jab economy mein pressures hain. Dekhte hain company kaise apne expansion goals ko profitabile growth se match karti hai.
