Lenskart Ltd. has been upgraded to a “Buy” rating by Motilal Oswal, which increased its price target to Rs 800 from Rs 705. This adjustment reflects a projected 16% upside from the current trading level of Rs 692. The upgraded target reflects Motilal Oswal’s assessment that the company’s cash‑flow generation capacity comfortably exceeds the debt obligations, providing a cushion for further strategic investments.
The brokerage attributes its confidence to the company’s strong financial foundation, efficient store operations, and improving profit margins. They also highlight the company’s growth potential, even as its stock price has surged since its November 2025 listing. Motilal Oswal also highlights that Lenskart’s store economics rank among the best in the eyewear sector, with unit-level cost structures delivering higher contribution margins than many competitors, and that the shift toward premium product lines is further bolstering profitability.
Since its debut, shares have climbed approximately 70%. The report attributes this rise primarily to upward earnings revisions rather than a broader valuation adjustment. Estimates for FY-28 net profit have been raised by nearly 30%, while operating efficiency has consistently exceeded expectations.

Future performance will depend on sustaining earnings growth, though any slowdown in margin improvement could limit gains. Investors will need to monitor how the company manages rapid store expansion alongside cost discipline, particularly as competitive pressure grows. A slight decline in consumer spending could also impact the stock’s trajectory. The firm’s expansion plan emphasizes opening smaller‑format outlets in tier‑2 cities, leveraging its centralized inventory system to keep overhead low while still reaching new customer segments.
The company has developed key advantages in a challenging industry. Its centralized, automated manufacturing operations and deep backward integration reduce supply chain vulnerabilities. An omnichannel distribution network and technology-driven processes support scalable growth. The brand strategy, which covers mass to premium segments, further strengthens its market position. Its automated manufacturing hub, combined with deep backward integration, allows Lenskart to control raw‑material costs, shorten lead times, and mitigate supply‑chain disruptions that typically affect retailers with fragmented sourcing.
At the current price of Rs 692, the new target implies a potential 16% increase. While the brokerage maintains its “Buy” recommendation, it notes that past earnings surprises may not continue indefinitely.
