HSBC initiated Lenskart with a Hold and Rs 513 target, citing limited valuation upside despite strong growth prospects. The eyewear retailer plans to expand its India network from about 2,500 to 7,000 stores, supported by integrated supply chain, omnichannel operations and rapid store payback.

Why this matters

The signal follows December coverage highlighting 24% revenue growth and 203 India store openings, plus a prior resurfaced HSBC note on scaling Lenskart’s network from 2,500 to 7,000 stores.

Store-opening is steady, with 1,512 retail signals recorded in the past 90 days.
