Lenskart target raised to ₹600 by Macquarie on international business driving growth

Macquarie reiterated its "Outperform" rating on Lenskart Solutions Ltd. on Wednesday, June 10, and raised its price target to ₹600 per share, citing sustained growth momentum and improving profitability.

The revised target implies a potential upside of about 19% from Tuesday's closing price of ₹503.4. The stock was trading largely unchanged at around ₹502 on Wednesday.

Macquarie said the growth tailwinds that have supported Lenskart over the last two quarters appear sustainable and could drive a strong earnings trajectory over the coming years.

The brokerage expects Lenskart to deliver an EBITDA compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 35% between FY26 and FY29, supported by continued revenue growth and operating leverage.

A key pillar of Macquarie's bullish view is the company's international business, which it said is demonstrating strong sales growth and margin potential. According to the brokerage, Lenskart's overseas operations are currently outperforming the trajectory seen in India when measured at a comparable scale.

Reflecting these favourable trends, Macquarie raised its earnings per share estimates and target price by 5%.

The brokerage believes the company's expanding international footprint, coupled with sustained execution in its core business, positions it well for continued earnings growth.
