Why This Trent Bernstein Rating Stays Bullish Despite the Crash

This Trent Bernstein rating carries a Rs 3,500 target that implies nearly 20 percent upside from current levels, among the more constructive views on the stock even as it recorded one of its sharpest single-day falls in recent memory. The brokerage frames the below-expectation store additions in context: Q1 is seasonally the weakest quarter for retail expansion, and Zudio’s own additions remained healthy even as sister brand Westside slowed, suggesting the growth engine is intact rather than broadly stalling.

Crucially, the Trent Bernstein rating note states there is no concern yet about the FY27 expansion target, a notably calmer read than Citi’s bearish note flagging weak productivity and cannibalisation risks on the same set of numbers.
