Thanks brother but I am sorry I couldn’t convey you right…I was sleepy…sorry

I was talking about trent specifically…is it ok to buy now ?

Hi Kunal, This question no one can answer for you except yourself. Buying decision is relatively easy then a sell decision. It will depend on what is your time horizon and goal for investing in Trent. Yes valuation are high for almost every business this time, if you do not have a better idea with good valuation then you can consider Trent after studying last 2-3 years annual report and presentations. Please also study ABFRL, Shopper Stop, V Mart retail, V2 retail(looks good) and retail industry overall.
Please consider a significant move by the National Stock Exchange (NSE),Trent will be added to the prestigious Nifty 50 index, effective from September 30. This reshuffle highlights the growing importance of Trent, known for its strong retail presence. Trent and BEL are expected to see net inflows of approximately $470 million and $335 million, respectively, after adjusting for Next 50 exclusions as per yesterdays ET. Addition to NIFTY 50 should results in buying of Trent by all NIFTY 50 Mutual funds and ETFs as per their mandates. These funds will sell Divy’s Lab and LTI mind tree (which will exit the Index) and replace them by Trent and BEL. I think Trent stock will be more stable and less volatile now, being a part of NIFTY 50.It will be bought regularly by NIFTY 50 index funds and ETFs for retail SIP investors according to its weightage.
Caution-You need to track it every Quarter for earning growth, because if it gets removed from the Index then there will be sudden selling by all Index funds, also after the initial surge, there might be a temporary pullback as some investors may take profits. Please also consider the following

Factors Affecting Price Movement

Trent Ltd’s financial performance, growth prospects, and market share will continue to be crucial determinants of its stock price. The performance of the retail sector as a whole will also influence Trent Ltd’s stock. Broader market trends, economic indicators, and interest rate changes can impact the stock’s price. The weight of Trent Ltd in the Nifty 50 will also play a role. A higher weight could lead to more significant price movements. Overall, Trent Ltd’s inclusion in the Nifty 50 is expected to have a positive impact on its stock price. The company’s strong fundamentals and the prestige associated with being a part of the Nifty 50 are likely to support upward price movement. However, it’s important to note that market conditions and company-specific factors can influence the actual price trajectory.

Disclosure: This analysis should not be considered as buy or sell recommendation. I am invested in Trent for last 20 years at very low levels. My views are biased and my knowledge is limited. I am not an Expert and nor a SEBI registered advisor.

High Kunal,
Please also study “Shriram Finance” share past price movement after its inclusion in the Nifty 50 index on March 28, 2024. You may also study past price movements of other Nifty 50 constituents, especially retail and consumer companies for a better understanding.

Have congratulated you earlier for holding Trent for last 2 decades and I am sure these petty reasons like inclusion in any particular index/funds buying etc. were never the main criteria for your hold.

Why I call them petty is because LTIM exclusion does not warranty its bad performance and neither Trent’s inclusion means anything over long term. While its a good feeling to see the companies we hold grow in size and get included in bigger & bigger indexes with time, point to note here is that LTIM if now getting excluded was once included :slight_smile: so its a cycle and what’s important is the business to remain on right track and promoters to remain true to their vision & ethical…I think these were main reasons that you could held for 2 long decades…or they were something else or add to these reasons…would be good to know…

Now valuations rating & de-rating is another animal which no one is able to tame and it happens when it happens…many momentum investors enter or exit at these times…I am yet to fathom how to prepare for valuation de-rating or if there is any need to consider this in my investing strategy…

Disc: Trent has become top holding recently, hence highly biased & critical. Hold LTIM also. Thoughts are personal and only for learning purposes. Not a buy/sell recommendation and I can be wrong in all my assessments

Screener is showing debt to equity as 0.43 for trent as of now.could you provide source of your information that showed d/e as 2
