Lenskart Solutions Ltd

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Lenskart Solutions Ltd trades at ₹537, in a confirmed uptrend and 31 weeks into that stage. That is +11.8% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 93% of a 52-week range of ₹406 to ₹548. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 4 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 31 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹537 it trades +11.8% versus its 200-day average and sits at 93% of its 52-week range (₹406–₹548).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 8 months the stock moved +31% while the NIFTY 500 moved −2% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 4 straight weeks — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

→ The trend is one thing; the bill is another. Are you paying up for it? Next: the P/E sits at the 99th percentile of its own range.

Valuation P/E is the price of ₹1 of annual profit: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee the company earns in a year.

Lenskart Solutions Ltd trades at 192.0× P/E, about the priciest it has ever traded. Its long-run median P/E is 156.2×, measured across 0.7 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 192.0× is about the priciest it has ever traded, against a long-run median of 156.2× measured over 0.7 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

Put together: the multiple is full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

→ Cheap or dear rides on the earnings. Are they actually growing? Next: the fundamental stage — where the business sits in its arc, and how growth has compounded.

Stage: No read Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Lenskart Solutions Ltd reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 5 quarters across 1 curve, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.

Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.

4-Factor Sector Score

54.9/100 — rank 4 of 6 in New age - Platform - E-Retail · 66% evidence confidence

Lenskart Solutions Ltd scores 54.9 out of 100 against the 6 companies it is compared with in New age - Platform - E-Retail, ranking 4. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 25.2 + 14.7 + 5 + 10 = 54.9. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Lenskart Solutions Ltd reported ₹2,516 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +45.6% year on year. That is the 4th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 6 years it has compounded at 46.3% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹8,814 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹8,814 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹8,814 Cr (+32.5% on the year), capping 6 years at 46.3% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹2,516 Cr, +45.6% year on year — the 4th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +32.3% growth against the decade's 46.3% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 21.0% this quarter (+4.0 pp YoY).

Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every ₹100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.

Lenskart Solutions Ltd's operating margin is 21.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +4.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 7 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −8.0% to 20.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 21.0%, +4.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 7 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −8.0%–20.0%, and FY26's 20.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +4.4 pp year on year while gross margin went +2.0 pp — the gain came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.

Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.

→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit −7.3% in the latest quarter.

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Lenskart Solutions Ltd earned ₹204 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −7.3% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹501 Cr. The 6-year compound rate is 109.1%. That is 8.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹220 Cr. 1 of the last 8 reported quarters were loss-making.

Mar 26 profit was ₹204 Cr, −7.3% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹501 Cr (+68.7%), and the 6-year compound rate is 109.1%.

🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +45.6% and the margin +4.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +2,187.5% vs revenue +32.3%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra rupee of revenue drops more to the bottom line.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 337% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash.

Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.

Over the last 3 fiscal years 337% of Lenskart Solutions Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹1,670 Cr of operating cash against ₹501 Cr of profit. After ₹2,620 Cr of capital spending, ₹−950 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹1,670 Cr against reported profit of ₹501 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−950 Cr after ₹2,620 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 337% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

Why conversion sits at 337%: the cash cycle tightened 91 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 2.1× depreciation over three years, so the next section's job is to check what that build-out is buying.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: ₹5,226 Cr of building over 3 years.

Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).

Lenskart Solutions Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 19 days in FY26, down from 110 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹5,226 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹8,814 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹24.1 Cr, so roughly ₹459 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 7 days, inventory at 138 days — roughly 4.5 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 19 days, tighter than FY21's 110.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 138 days to sell; customers pay about 7 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 127 days — netting out to the 19-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹8,814 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹24.1 Cr — so the 19-day loop keeps roughly ₹459 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹5,226 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹2,517 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹112 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.

→ Does all this activity actually earn its cost of capital? Next: ROCE is 8% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −4.9 pp.

Return on capital Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the profit the whole business earns on all the money in it — equity and debt together. It is the single best test of whether growth creates value or just size.

Lenskart Solutions Ltd earns a ROCE of 8% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −3% in FY22. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −4.9 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 5.7% net margin on 0.61× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 8%, recovered from a FY22 trough of −3% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 5.7% net margin × 0.61× asset turns × 1.65× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 5.7% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 7.1% − 12.0% = a −4.9 pp spread. The 12.0% is a standing assumption for the cost of capital in India, not a per-stock estimate — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Negative — growth at these returns destroys value until the returns recover.

→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.35.

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.

Lenskart Solutions Ltd carries total debt of ₹3,097 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹8,852 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.35. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.41 in FY25 to 0.35 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹3,097 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹8,852 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.35. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.41 (FY25) to 0.35 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.

→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: the register is quiet.

Ownership Who owns the stock, quarter by quarter: promoters (the controlling owners), foreign and domestic institutions, and the public. Steady accumulation by people close to the numbers is a signal; a quiet register is also an answer.

No holder of Lenskart Solutions Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

→ One last check: does the safety math agree? Next: the balance-sheet safety line.

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Lenskart Solutions Ltd: the Z-score reads 9.55. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits well clear of distress. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.

Why it matters: a Z-score of 9.55 sits well clear of the distress zone — the balance sheet is not the risk here.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 9.55.
