HSBC initiates ‘Hold’ on Lenskart at Rs 513 despite 7,000-store expansion runway
HSBC sees only ~2% upside on Lenskart with a Rs 513 target, flagging full valuation even as the eyewear retailer eyes a jump to 7,000 India stores from 2,500. Bank cites an integrated model, sub-year store payback, ~20% organised share and 13% annual market growth.
HSBC initiated 'Hold' on Lenskart with Rs 513 target, citing full valuation despite strong growth. Sees potential expansion to 7,000 India stores from 2,500, backed by integrated model, sub-year store payback, and 13% eyewear market growth.
Why this matters
HSBC's 'Hold' call sharpens the post-listing debate as Lenskart's automation-led scale is measured against Titan EyeCare's service model in India's Rs 30,000cr eyewear market.
