Motilal Oswal Hikes Lenskart Target to Rs 800 After 70% Surge

Motilal Oswal has increased its target price for Lenskart Solutions to Rs 800, citing strong profit growth. The eyewear retailer’s stock has rallied 70% since its November 2025 market debut. The update reflects confidence in the company’s manufacturing-led business model, though investors are keeping an eye on long-term scaling and valuation.

Motilal Oswal has updated its outlook on Lenskart Solutions, raising the target price to Rs 800 from its previous level of Rs 705. With the stock recently trading around Rs 692, the new target suggests a potential upside of approximately 16% from current levels. This adjustment comes as the company continues to see strong interest from institutional investors.

This update follows a notable 70% rise in the company’s share price since its listing in November 2025. Unlike market movements driven solely by sentiment, brokerage analysts point to concrete earnings upgrades as the primary driver for this target change. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, the company reported a significant jump in net profit to Rs 221.84 crore, compared to Rs 60.08 crore in the same period a year ago.

The brokerage report highlights that Lenskart’s business model—centered on automated, centralized manufacturing—helps it control costs and maintain consistent quality across its widespread retail network. This, combined with a strong omnichannel presence, has allowed the company to scale its operations more effectively than some traditional retail businesses that often struggle with high overheads and inventory management.

While the company has shown strong growth, analysts also highlight specific monitorables for investors. Expanding a retail chain across new domestic and international markets is capital-intensive and carries risks related to maintaining execution quality. Furthermore, the stock currently trades at a valuation that is higher than many traditional retail peers. For investors, this means the company is under constant pressure to deliver high-speed earnings growth to justify its premium market position.

Looking ahead, the market will closely watch upcoming quarterly results to see if the company can maintain its current operating margins. The long-term performance will depend on how efficiently Lenskart manages its physical expansion and whether it can navigate potential currency headwinds in its international markets without letting costs spiral.
