The Story in Brief
Lenskart has drawn investor attention after strong first-quarter financials in the eyewear market, but experts urge caution. Gaurang Shah, senior vice-president at Geojit Investments, told Business Today that the profitability looks impressive, yet warned that one-time gains could be inflating the numbers. He called for a deeper analysis.
Shah noted intense competition from both organised and unorganised players. He said sustainable growth is crucial, and investors must assess the company's business model, customer experience, product quality and competitive positioning. He advised evaluating new-age companies on fundamentals, valuations and long-term potential before investing.
The Indian Opinion
One strong quarter is being spun into a buy signal, but Shah's caution is the real story. Retail investors too often chase shiny numbers without asking if they are repeatable. Lenskart must show that its growth is not a one-off. Watch the next two quarters, and whether gross margins hold against doorstep sellers and online rivals. If profit dips, you will know the Q1 spike was a mirage, not momentum.
