Lenskart Share price Live: Analysts flag valuation concerns despite strong fundamentals at Lenskart

Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart, maintained a 'Neutral' view on the Lenskart IPO, citing stretched valuations even though the company's business fundamentals remain solid.

Meanwhile, Siddharth Maurya, Founder and Managing Director at Vibhavangal Anukulakara, noted that with a potential valuation of around Rs 70,000 crore, Lenskart's omni-channel presence and aggressive international expansion stand out as key differentiators. However, he cautioned that investors must assess the sustainability of its unit economics and margins, especially amid rising operational costs and global competition.

He added that while India's under-penetrated eyewear market offers long-term growth potential, consistent profitability and disciplined capital management will determine whether Lenskart evolves from a high-growth startup into a sustainably profitable listed company.

Lenskart Share price Live: Lenskart's high valuation raises questions; CEO Peyush Bansal defends growth outlook

Several analysts have pointed out that Lenskart Solutions is seeking a notably high valuation, translating to a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 230. During an interview with CNBC-TV18, CEO Peyush Bansal was questioned about whether such valuation levels leave meaningful upside for new investors. The report noted that even if the company triples its profits over the next few years, its P/E ratio would still hover around 70, a level many analysts still deem expensive. Responding to the concerns, Bansal emphasised Lenskart's 90% EBITDA CAGR and the strong long-term growth potential of India's eyewear market. "As a company and as an entrepreneur, our job is to create value for the customer - and increasingly for the shareholder as well. As far as valuation is concerned, it's what the market decides," Bansal told CNBC-TV18.

'Profit is oxygen. But purpose is breath': Peyush Bansal’s message to stakeholders ahead of Lenskart IPO

Eyewear retailer Lenskart is set to make its market debut on November 10, capping a 15-year journey that began not in a boardroom, but with a simple question: how could millions of Indians see clearly? As he prepares to ring the bell, founder and CEO Peyush Bansal has written a deeply personal letter to employees, investors, and customers — one that reads less like a corporate statement and more like a reflection on purpose, people and possibility. “There’s no playbook for a day like this,” Bansal wrote in his note titled ‘It’s Still Day Zero — On the Eve of Lenskart’s Listing.’ “Fifteen years ago, I didn’t dream of ringing a bell. I just wanted to solve one simple, human problem — that millions of people in India couldn’t see clearly.” (Read More)
