Snapshot AI
  • Lenskart shares dropped 2% due to profit booking and market pressure.
  • Antique Stockbroking initiated coverage with a 'hold' rating on Lenskart
  • Lenskart debuted weakly in November 2025, listing below its IPO price

Lenskart Solutions shares fell nearly 2 percent on Monday amid profit booking, even as Antique Stockbroking initiated coverage on the stock with a ‘hold’ rating.

On the NSE, the stock declined 2.7 percent to hit an intraday low of Rs 439 per share. The scrip has been under pressure for the past two sessions and has slipped nearly 4 percent during the period.

Antique Stockbroking, in its note, said Lenskart is scaling up at a fast pace with improving profitability in a favourable industry environment. It pointed out that only about 24 percent of India’s eyewear market is organised, while other markets also offer significant growth opportunities.

The brokerage highlighted the company’s technology-led approach and centralised supply chain, which it said enable higher operational efficiency and more consistent product quality. It added that there is sufficient headroom for around 25 percent compound annual revenue growth in the medium term, but noted that current valuations largely factor in the growth outlook.

Lenskart had made a weak stock market debut in November 2025, listing at a discount of around 3 percent to its issue price. The company’s initial public offer, which was open for subscription from October 31 to November 4, was subscribed 28.26 times.

Shares of Lenskart Solutions Ltd were listed at Rs 395 apiece on the NSE, a discount of 1.74 percent from the IPO price. The Rs 7,278-crore IPO was priced in the range of Rs 382 to Rs 402 per share.

On the BSE, the stock debuted at Rs 390 per share, a discount of 2.99 percent. The company’s market capitalisation after listing stood at Rs 67,659.94 crore.
