CARE Ratings has reaffirmed Trident Limited's bank facilities with ratings of 'CARE AA; Stable' and 'CARE A1+'. Long-term/short-term facilities of ₹1,536.94 crore, long-term facilities of ₹196.81 crore, and short-term facilities of ₹12.50 crore were reaffirmed. The agency expects Trident's TOI to grow over 8% with PBILDT margins around 14-15% medium term.
A reaffirmation of credit ratings is generally positive for a company as it indicates stability and confidence from rating agencies, which can influence borrowing costs and investor perception. However, since the ratings did not improve, the impact is considered medium.
The credit rating agency has reaffirmed the company's existing ratings with a stable outlook, indicating a positive assessment of the company's financial health and future prospects.
Trident Limited has announced that CARE Ratings Limited has reaffirmed the credit ratings for its bank facilities. The long-term/short-term bank facilities amounting to ₹1,536.94 crore have been reaffirmed with ratings of 'CARE AA; Stable' and 'CARE A1+'.
Additionally, long-term bank facilities of ₹196.81 crore have been reaffirmed with a 'CARE AA; Stable' rating, and short-term bank facilities of ₹12.50 crore have been reaffirmed with a 'CARE A1+' rating.
The press release from CARE Ratings highlights that the reaffirmation of ratings continues to derive strength from Trident's experienced management, diversified and integrated operations, and established customer relationships. The ratings also factor in the company's resilient performance in FY26 despite industry headwinds, comfortable capital structure, strong liquidity, and continued support from fiscal incentives.
However, the ratings are constrained by moderate return indicators, under-utilization of capacities, working capital intensive operations, and susceptibility of profitability to raw material price volatility and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Trade-related uncertainties and risks associated with changes in government policies, along with the cyclical nature of the textile industry, were also noted.
CARE Ratings expects Trident's total operating income (TOI) to grow at an average rate of over 8% and PBILDT margin to remain at approximately 14-15% in the medium term. The company's liquidity is described as strong, with expected healthy annual cash accruals against annual debt repayment obligations.
