Lenskart ke shares mein tezori!
Lenskart Solutions ke stock mein aaj subah takreeban 7% ki tezi dikhi, woh bhi Q4 FY26 ke solid results announce hone ke baad. Company ne bataya ki unka revenue saal-dar-saal 45.6% badh kar ₹2,516 crore tak pahunch gaya hai. Yeh growth zyada tar eyewear ke units mein 25% badhotri aur ek successful loyalty program ki wajah se hui, jisne repeat customers ko attract kiya. Yeh performance market expectations se lagbhag 10% behtar rahi.
Profit mein 7.5% ki girawat aayi hai jo ₹203.6 crore raha, primarily components aur inventory ke badhte kharche ki wajah se. Lekin, operational improvements kaafi achhi rahi hain. EBITDA 83.8% badh kar ₹540 crore ho gaya, jisse EBITDA margins 17% se badh kar 21.4% ho gaye. Company ke vertical integration efforts ne bhi is response mein help kiya. Trading volume mein bhi zabardast spike dekha gaya, pehle 20 minute mein hi 9.6 million se zyada shares trade hue.
Analysts kya keh rahe hain aur expansion plans
Emkay Global Financial Services ne Lenskart Solutions par apni 'Buy' rating barkarar rakhi hai aur price target ko 4% badha kar ₹625 kar diya hai. Iska matlab hai ki current price se 28% ka potential upside mil sakta hai, jabki pichhle din ka closing price ₹486.85 tha. Analysts ke average price targets abhi ₹551.00 ke aas-paas hain, jo current levels se 17.42% ka upside dikha rahe hain.
Company active tareeke se expand kar rahi hai, FY26 mein India mein 542 naye stores khole hain aur FY27 mein bhi is pace ko maintain karne ka plan hai. International subsidiaries jaise Owndays aur Lenskart Singapore mein bhi investment dikha rahi hai company, jo unki global growth strategy ko highlight karta hai.
Valuation ko lekar chinta
Itne strong performance ke bawajood, Lenskart ke valuation metrics investors ke liye chinta ka vishay bane hue hain. Company ka Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio trailing twelve months earnings ke hisab se 273 aur 218 ke beech mein hai. Yeh number industry peers jaise Titan Company Ltd. (jiska P/E ratio 73-80 hai) se kaafi zyada hai. Lenskart ka Price-to-Sales ratio bhi 10.3x hai, jo peer average 2.9x se kaafi alag hai.
Is high valuation ke sath Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) sirf 2.3% aur last three years mein return on equity 6.86% raha hai, jo capital efficiency par sawal khade karta hai. Halanki Lenskart debt-free hai, par itne high valuation multiples ko justify karne ke liye sustained growth bahut zaroori hai.
Challenges aur Future Outlook
Q4 FY26 mein net profit mein kami ki wajah operational costs mein badhotri batai gayi hai. High P/E ratio, jo competitors se kaafi upar hai, ek substantial valuation risk pesh karta hai. Kuch analysts ne toh Lenskart ko 'Hold' se 'Sell' downgrade bhi kar diya hai, technical indicators aur valuation concerns ki wajah se.
Iske alawa, company ka low ROCE aur return on equity, aur dividend na dene ki policy bhi kuch investors ko hesitate kar sakti hai. Working capital days ka 24.3 se 67.0 tak badhna bhi carefully monitor karne wali baat hai. Agar consumer market slow hua toh aggressive expansion aur valuation challenges future stock performance ko affect kar sakte hain.
Aage dekha jaye toh Lenskart FY27 mein bhi store expansion jari rakhegi. Analysts ko premiumization aur omnichannel strategies se growth ki ummeed hai. Technology aur AI par company ka focus bhi FY27 mein future performance ko boost kar sakta hai. Average analyst price target potential upside dikha raha hai, agar Lenskart apne high valuation ko manage kar paati hai aur earnings growth maintain rakhti hai. Projections ke mutabik FY29 tak forward P/E ratio mein kami aayegi, matlab earnings valuation ke barabar aa sakti hain agar growth trends continue rahe.
