Why are Trent shares down 9% today? Know the reason
Shares of Tata Group's Trent Ltd. fell nearly 9% in early trade on Friday, July 4, after the company flagged slower growth expectations during its Annual General Meeting (AGM) and brokerages issued downgrades. The stock touched ₹5,766.50 on NSE, down from its previous close of ₹6,191.
At its AGM, Trent's management indicated that it expects revenue growth in Q1FY26 to be around 20%, much lower than its five-year CAGR of 35%. The company's business update confirmed this, reporting standalone Q1FY26 revenue at ₹5,061 crore, up 20% from ₹4,228 crore a year earlier.
The company added one new Westside store and 11 Zudio outlets during the quarter, taking its total to 248 Westside, 766 Zudio (including two in the UAE), and 29 stores under other lifestyle concepts.
However, analysts took a cautious view. Brokerage Nuvama downgraded Trent to 'hold' from 'buy,' slashing its FY26 and FY27 revenue growth estimates by 5% and 6%, and EBITDA estimates by 9% and 12%. It also cut its price target to ₹5,884 from ₹6,627 earlier.
On the other hand, Morgan Stanley maintained an 'overweight' rating with a target of ₹6,359, citing long-term growth potential at a 25–30% CAGR.
Of the 25 analysts covering Trent, 18 rate it a 'buy,' four a 'hold,' and three a 'sell.'
The company's update underscores a healthy retail footprint and ongoing expansion but highlights the challenges of sustaining high growth rates in a competitive environment.

Kingman Minerals Ltd. Announces AGM Extension and Non-Brokered Private Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 11, 2025) - Kingman Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: KGS) (OTCQB: KGSSF) (FSE: 47A) ("Kingman" or the "Company") announces that, further to TSX Venture Exchange ("Exchange") review, the Company has received approval to extend the deadline to hold its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") to no later than October 21, 2025. The Company also announces its intention to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to $504,000.00 (the "Offering"). The Financing Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), the Company intends to complete the Offering by issuing up to 7,200,000 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.07 per Unit. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.09 per common share, for a period of 24 months from the date of closing of the Offering. The Company may pay finder's fees equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds and issue finder's warrants equal to 6.0% of the number of Units sold. The finder's warrants will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.09 for a period of 24 months. The Company will use the net proceeds of the Offering for working capital and to advance preparation and permitting of an exploration plan at its flagship Mohave Project, inclusive of the historic Rosebud Mine in Arizona. Closing of the Offering is subject to all applicable regulatory approvals, including approval of the Exchange. All securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day in accordance with applicable securities laws. It is anticipated that certain insiders of the Company will acquire Units. Such participation will each be considered a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the Private Placement due to the fair market value of the related party participation being below 25% of the Company's market capitalization for purposes of MI 61-101. Upcoming AGM Under TSX Venture Exchange Policy 3.2, the Company was required to hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) by August 21, 2025. To comply with this requirement while ensuring sufficient time for planning, the Company submitted a formal request to the Exchange to extend the deadline. The Exchange reviewed and approved this request, granting an extension to October 21, 2025. This extension allows the Company to complete the necessary corporate, regulatory, and administrative preparations required to convene the AGM in compliance with applicable legislation and Exchange policies. As part of this process, the Company will establish and announce a formal record date, which defines the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting. The Company will also prepare and distribute the official notice of meeting in accordance with statutory timelines and disclosure requirements.

India to Lead the Next AI Wave, First-Mover Companies Have the Edge: Experts
Indian startups are uniquely positioned to lead this revolution given their talent density, cost advantages, and global mindset. Vertical AI adoption is also accelerating rapidly across industries due to a convergence of data, compute affordability, and enterprise readiness. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Delivering a keynote at the Vibe Summit 2025 event, Pratik Pal, Chairman's Office - Data and AI Initiative, Tata Group, explained why enterprises from India will lead the next AI wave, with a global market potential of USD 50 billion. According to Pal, by integrating AI into processes, Tata was able to generate 200,000 leads with the help of the technology. One of the Tata group's companies was also able to produce marketing content 30 times faster, with a 20 per cent uptick in lead conversions. Pal also said that the conglomerate was able to reduce costs by 80 per cent in certain verticals using AI. Speaking on the role India has to play in the global AI scene, Pal said, " I will say that India should have one large AI company. India may be just one word, but it is very important. India should also have three to five agentic platforms," recognizing the opportunity to build AI systems that act autonomously, not just assist, "agentic" systems for operations, supply chains, HR, or finance. The event also saw the launch of the ' VIBE50' report, showcasing top Indian-Vertical AI startups like Signzy, Credgenics, Prudent, DeepTek, Dozee, and Tricog, among others, that are solving domain-specific challenges across 12 major industries. According to the report, Indian startups are uniquely positioned to lead this revolution given their talent density, cost advantages, and global mindset. Vertical AI adoption is also accelerating rapidly across industries due to a convergence of data, compute affordability, and enterprise readiness. The outcomes through the industry are being valued at USD 10 billion, and the report said this will be delivered through companies solving real workflow problems in specific industries, not from general-purpose platforms. "The scale of AI is very huge. The outcomes have to be significant for enterprises to appreciate the value of solutions. There's a multi-billion-dollar cost picture for one of our companies. We looked at seven functions. Each function is getting transformed (through AI)," said Pal. The report said that Vertical AI is not a future trend and that it is already reshaping enterprise workflows. The combination of critical mass industry datasets, plummeting foundation model costs, and growing enterprise AI budgets is accelerating adoption. According to the report, India's unique advantage lies in its deep bench of tech talent, cost-effective R&D, and cross-border GTM experience, giving its startups a structural edge in building globally competitive Vertical AI systems. Shekhar Kirani, Partner at Accel India, provided a VC angle to the conversation and said startups-especially those who leverage AI properly, have the opportunity to grow companies either bootstrapped or with VC money. "In the two startups I was part of, both were bootstrapped.. Both were sold for USD 200 million. There was no VC money. So it is possible to do that." Some of the five key patterns among successful vertical AI startups, according to the report, are "Business outcomes" over model accuracy, where success is measured in ROl, not Al metrics, as well as systematic expansion: the land-and-expand model drives high net retention. Kirani said that, "You have to have narrow, deep, well-defined outcomes, and land all customers. Lots and lots of companies are already gone. You don't know who will win. The winner will be the first mover, into a class of companies, a class of customers, whom they can attack and kill." According to the report, Vertical Al is not theoretical. It's real, revenue-generating, and ready for scale. Indian founders, with their unique mix of talent, affordability, and enterprise understanding, are at the forefront of this transformation, poised to build the next wave of global AI leaders. Kirani also said that in order for the ecosystem to scale, founders have to understand how VC works on the ground level, "First, you have to understand what VC is. It's global money, which we are borrowing to invest." "VC has its own business model. Most of the founders don't understand that VC is also a business. And you can see what type of companies they invest in. Of course, people say, they only invest in great companies," added Kirani.
