Lenskart Solutions Limited Stock Today (22 December 2025): Share Price, Macquarie’s ₹530 Target, Morgan Stanley View, and Fresh Forecasts

December 22, 2025 — Lenskart Solutions Limited is back on investor radars today, with the newly listed eyewear retailer trading higher in a volatile session and drawing renewed attention after a wave of brokerage initiations that are shaping the early “street narrative” around the stock.

In mid-day trade on 22 December 2025, Lenskart shares hovered around ₹475–₹478, after swinging between ₹454.65 and ₹495.00 during the session. ^[1]

What’s driving the buzz: a broker-led re-rating debate — with Macquarie starting coverage at “Outperform” and a ₹530 target, while Morgan Stanley begins at “Equal-weight” with a ₹445 target, explicitly flagging valuation as the key tension. ^[2]

Lenskart share price today: key levels investors are watching (22.12.2025)

Here’s the market snapshot investors are reacting to on December 22:

Price (mid-day): around ₹475–₹478 ^[3]
Day range:₹454.65 – ₹495.00 ^[4]
52-week range:₹356.10 – ₹495.00 (Lenskart’s trading history is short because it listed in November) ^[5]
Market cap (approx.): about ₹81,000–₹82,000 crore, depending on the time-stamp/source ^[6]
Valuation (TTM, widely quoted):P/E ~273, P/B ~9.8–10 ^[7]

Also notable: Business Standard’s snapshot shows the stock is up roughly 14% over the past month (reflecting the post-listing momentum phase). ^[8]

Why Lenskart stock is moving: broker coverage is rewriting the story

1) Macquarie: “Outperform” initiation, target ₹530

Multiple outlets tracking today’s brokerage playbook highlight Macquarie’s initiation as the headline catalyst. Macquarie’s thesis (as reported) leans on Lenskart’s integrated supply chain and the potential for margin expansion as utilisation improves. ^[9]

Key numbers being repeated across market coverage:

Target price:₹530
Implied upside: about ~30% from the reference price used in the reports
Operational expectations: store-level EBITDA margin near ~33% and ROIC >20% over FY26–FY28 (as the model scales) ^[10]

2) Morgan Stanley: “Equal-weight,” target ₹445 — strong growth, but valuation matters

Morgan Stanley’s initiation reads like the “yes, but…” counterpoint to the bullish camp: the brokerage reportedly likes the growth shape (and even compares the long-run opportunity set to global eyewear leaders), but argues the stock is fairly valued at current levels. ^[11]

Highlights reported from the initiation note include:

Rating / target:Equal-weight, ₹445
Growth outlook (India): revenue growth expectations in the low-20s annually in later years and EBITDA margin expansion over time
Risk framing: upside from stronger share gains and smart-glasses adoption; downside from slower expansion or China import restrictions impacting inputs/supply chains ^[12]

3) Jefferies: “Buy,” target ₹500 — under-penetration is the bull case

Jefferies’ earlier initiation remains part of the current “coverage stack” being cited as Lenskart’s early analyst ecosystem takes shape. Economic Times’ report on the call ties the case to a structural shift in India’s eyewear market and continued under-penetration despite Lenskart’s scale. ^[13]

Rating / target:Buy, ₹500 ^[14]

Forecasts: where analyst targets cluster right now

If you zoom out from individual brokerage headlines and look at compiled analyst forecasts, the range is wide — a sign the market is still price-discovering what kind of company Lenskart will be as a listed name.

Investing.com’s compiled view (based on the analysts it tracks) shows an average target around ~₹453.5, with a high near ₹530 and a low near ₹339, and a mixed set of Buy/Hold/Sell inputs behind the aggregate. ^[15]

Separately, MarketScreener’s consensus page also lists the prominent recent initiations (including Macquarie and Morgan Stanley) in its timeline for the stock. ^[16]

The fundamentals: what Lenskart reported after listing

Brokerage optimism is landing on top of a financial base that, at least in the latest reported quarter, showed clear growth.

For Q2 FY26 (quarter ended September 2025), NDTV Profit’s report (citing an exchange filing) highlighted:

Net profit: about ₹102 crore, up ~19.6% YoY
Revenue: about ₹2,096 crore, up ~20.8% YoY ^[17]

This matters for a newly listed consumer-tech retail story because the early public-market debate often boils down to: is growth buying profitability, or is profitability funding growth? Lenskart’s recent reporting is being interpreted as a signal that operating leverage is starting to show.

The IPO backdrop still matters (because the stock is only weeks old)

Lenskart listed recently, and that “new listing” status is one reason the stock can move sharply on broker notes and price action.

Reuters reported that Lenskart’s shares were issued at ₹402 and the debut was volatile, including an early drop to the mid-₹350s range at the lows during the initial trading period. ^[18]
A separate Sidley update (deal announcement) described the IPO as a US$821 million offering and noted the listing on BSE and NSE. ^[19]

One implication: with limited post-listing history, investors often anchor hard to issue price (₹402), the first few earnings prints, and the first “serious” sell-side models — exactly what’s arriving now.

The business model bull case: vertical integration + store expansion

Across the freshest research coverage, one phrase keeps resurfacing: integrated supply chain. The idea is straightforward: if Lenskart can control more of design/manufacturing/distribution/retail, it can potentially compress lead times, defend pricing, and expand margins — if execution holds.

Two additional angles showing up in current coverage:

Market share runway: Macquarie’s thesis (as quoted in today’s broker-recommendations roundup) frames Lenskart as a leading player but still with significant headroom, citing India’s eyewear market structure and the possibility of major share gains over time. ^[20]
Store growth ambition: Business Standard reported Lenskart is targeting 450+ net store additions in FY26, a sizable step-up versus prior additions — a clear “scale the footprint” plan that can accelerate growth but also raises execution risk. ^[21]

Valuation and ownership: the two numbers that keep coming up

A “growth multiple” stock — by any quick screen

Most market dashboards currently show Lenskart trading at a high earnings multiple (often quoted around ~273x TTM P/E), which is typical for high-growth consumer/retail stories early in their listed life — but it also makes the stock sensitive to any disappointment in growth or margins. ^[22]

Promoter holding has shifted post-listing

Business Standard’s quick facts also flag that promoter holding had decreased to around 17.6% (as of November 2025) versus higher levels pre-IPO — a change that can occur through offer-for-sale mechanics, dilution, or other post-listing adjustments. ^[23]

Technical and momentum read (without the drama)

Automated technical summaries are not gospel, but they can explain why momentum traders are paying attention.

Investing.com’s technical dashboard for Dec 22, 2025 (06:54 GMT) shows:

A “Strong Buy” summary across multiple timeframes
RSI ~75 (commonly interpreted as overbought)
Signals that also flag high volatility ^[24]

Translation: momentum looks strong, but the stock is also in the zone where pullbacks can appear suddenly — especially for a recent IPO with fast-changing sentiment.

What investors will watch next: catalysts and risks into 2026

Potential catalysts

More analyst initiations and model updates: As additional brokers start coverage, target bands can tighten (or widen), which often drives incremental flows in newly listed stocks. ^[25]
Execution on expansion: The FY26 store-addition plan is a measurable checkpoint; strong execution can validate the growth narrative. ^[26]
Product-category optionality: Some market commentary has pointed to “smart glasses” as a possible longer-term upside lever; Morgan Stanley explicitly lists smart-glasses adoption as an upside risk, and a separate brokerage news report discussed a potential AI-enabled smart glasses timeline. (Treat timelines as tentative until confirmed via official filings.) ^[27]

Key risks

Valuation sensitivity: With a premium multiple, the stock can react sharply to any sign of slowing growth or margin pressure. ^[28]
Execution risk: Rapid store rollout tests supply chain, hiring, inventory, and real estate discipline — the exact stuff that turns great brands into messy spreadsheets if mishandled. ^[29]
Supply-side and regulatory shocks: Morgan Stanley’s initiation note flags risks including potential China import restrictions, which could impact costs or sourcing in consumer product ecosystems. ^[30]

Bottom line (as of 22 December 2025)

Lenskart Solutions Limited stock is behaving like what it is: a fresh IPO with accelerating coverage, strong recent price momentum, and a valuation that keeps the debate lively.

Today’s trading around ₹475–₹478, the push to ₹495 intraday, and the headline targets (₹530 from Macquarie, ₹445 from Morgan Stanley, ₹500 from Jefferies) show the market is actively negotiating a single question:

Is Lenskart a premium compounder in the making — or a great business that’s temporarily priced like perfection? ^[31]
