HSBC Initiates 'Hold' on Lenskart at Rs 513 Despite 7,000-Store Expansion Plan
HSBC sees ~2% upside as Lenskart targets nearly tripling stores from 2,500 to 7,000, backed by sub-1-year payback and 20% share of the organised eyewear market growing at 13% CAGR—but valuation already prices in growth.
HSBC initiates 'Hold' on Lenskart with Rs 513 target, citing rich valuation despite plans to scale to 7,000 stores from 2,500, strong unit economics and omnichannel eyewear leadership.
Why this matters
Follows Lenskart's 7,000-store expansion announcement; HSBC's Hold rating signals the ambitious rollout is already priced into valuation despite strong unit economics.
