Lenskart shares hit 52-week high as overseas margins jump in Q1FY27
International operations saw EBITDA margin expand by 610 basis points to 10.6%, driven largely by same-store sales growth.
Lenskart Solutions shares reached a 52-week high of ₹627 after its Q1FY27 earnings, with Reuters cited in the report as the catalyst for the move. The stock was up nearly 50% from its public issue price, according to the article.
The company reported consolidated revenue growth of 34% year on year to ₹2,714 crore in Q1FY27. While the domestic business made up 57% of the revenue mix, the bigger headline item was international performance, where EBITDA margin (pre-Ind AS) expanded by 610 basis points to 10.6%, supported by constant-currency international revenue growth.
Almost all of the international business growth, up 29% year on year in constant currency, came from same-store sales growth. Eyewear unit volumes rose 37.6%, with international growth described as broad-based across Japan, Southeast Asia, and West Asia, and the article notes that Jefferies India said the margin improvement should address an investor concern.
On profitability and cash flow, the report said consolidated EBITDA nearly doubled to ₹361 crore and that the company converted 82% of EBITDA into operating cash flow of ₹297 crore. Lenskart opened 116 new stores in India versus 16 abroad, with the total store count at 2,725 in India compared with 734 abroad, and the piece highlights sustaining profitability of new stores as a key monitorable.
