Trent shares jump 6% despite bearish Citi recommendation; Here’s why ₹3,000 is a key level

Date:

Shares of Trent Ltd. gained over 6% on Wednesday, June 17, and was trading above the ₹3,000 level. The last time the stock had closed above ₹3,000 was on November 7, 2025.The stock is in the green on Wednesday after a day’s loss. It has gained for three out of the last four trading sessions. It has risen 12.8% over the four sessions.

Despite the recovery, the Tata Group stock is still down 30% from its 52-week high of ₹4,174.
The stock is trading with gains on Wednesday even as brokerage firm Citi has a “sell” rating on the stock and a price target of ₹2,733 apiece, indicating a potential downside of 5.7% from its previous close.Citi listed takeaways from Trent’s management meet:

  • Demand appears to be holding up reasonably well.
  • Suplly-side remains noise across raw materials (polyester/cotton), labour availability, etc.
  • Inflation impact in the medium-term is limited as consumers continue to consume, but share shifts across players can be meaningful.
  • Prefer not to pass on the entire cost impact and instead solve through interventions across product, sourcing and operations.
  • Real estate remains an important variable, but Trent’s asymmetric lease structures continue to provide a strong option value.
  • Zudio’s opportunity appears larger than earlier envisaged, with a higher share of India ready for the brand.
  • Trent continues to evaluate lifestyle adjacencies — jewellery, accessories, beauty, fragrances and home — while Star is now in a better place and remains an interesting long-term opportunity.
