HSBC initiates 'Hold' on Lenskart with Rs 513 target despite 7,000-store expansion roadmap
HSBC sees only ~2% upside on Lenskart at a Rs 513 target, flagging stretched valuation even as fundamentals stay strong. The eyewear retailer holds 20% organised market share, benefits from an integrated model moat, and plans to nearly triple its footprint from ~2,500 to ~7,000 stores in India.
