Lenskart's 7,000-Store India Push Resurfaces Alongside HSBC's April Hold Call
Resurfacing an April 2026 move, HSBC's coverage initiation on Lenskart with a Hold rating and Rs 513 target is back in focus, with the broker saying valuation leaves limited upside despite the eyewear retailer's plan to grow from roughly 2,500 to 7,000 India stores. The broker cited category growth, integrated operations and sub-one-year store payback as strengths.
HSBC initiated Lenskart with a Hold and Rs 513 target, citing limited valuation upside despite strong category growth, integrated supply chain and sub-one-year store payback. Lenskart aims to expand its India network from about 2,500 to around 7,000 stores.
Why this matters
The signal reprises "HSBC sees runway for 7,000 Lenskart stores in India, but starts coverage at Hold" and "Lenskart’s 7,000-store ambition meets an HSBC Hold call," keeping valuation scrutiny tied to its rollout plan.
