Tata Group Stock: Why Did Trent Crash 35% in Today’s Market Session?

Synopsis: Tata Group’s stock crashed about 35% in trade due to its 1:2 bonus issue. On the ex-date (4 June 2026), the stock price was adjusted downward mechanically, reflecting increased share count, not an actual loss in the company’s value. 

The shares of a Tata Group company specialising in apparel, footwear, accessories, and lifestyle products, primarily operate through a diverse portfolio of exclusive in-house brands, ranging from fast-fashion mass-market retail to premium ethnic and occasion wear, are in focus as they have crashed by 35 percent in the day’s trade.

With a market capitalization of Rs. 1,49,566.14 crores in the day’s trade, the shares of Trent Limited declined by 35 percent, reaching a low of Rs. 2,781.60 per share compared to its previous closing price of Rs. 4,257.6 per share.

What Happened

Trent Limited, engaged in apparel, footwear, accessories, and lifestyle products, primarily operates through a diverse portfolio, is in the spotlight in today’s trade, as its shares have crashed by 35 per cent.

The company had announced a bonus issue of 1:2, which means shareholders received 1 extra share for every 2 shares held. Because more shares are added without changing the company’s overall value, the share price is mechanically adjusted downward to reflect the increased share count.

On the ex-date (4 June 2026), the stock started trading at this adjusted price, so the price appeared to fall sharply, about 35 percent lower than the previous close. This is not a real loss in value; it is a mathematical adjustment due to the bonus issue, where value is redistributed across a larger number of shares.

Financials & Others

The company’s revenue rose by 19.23 percent from Rs. 4,217 crores in March 2025 to Rs. 5,028 crores in March 2026. Meanwhile, Net profit rose from Rs. 312 crores to Rs. 413 crores in the same period.

The company shows strong profitability metrics with a ROCE of 28.3% and ROE of 27.7%, indicating efficient use of capital and strong returns for shareholders. A debt-to-equity ratio of 0.37 also suggests the company is not heavily leveraged and maintains a relatively healthy balance sheet.

It has also demonstrated solid growth and consistency over time, with profit growing at a 68.7% CAGR over the last 5 years, sustained ROE of around 28.6% over 3 years, and a median sales growth of 27.2% over the last 10 years, reflecting strong historical expansion and operational performance.
