Lenskart valuations way too high, stock could see sharp correction, says Dharmesh Kant

Lenskart’s muted stock market debut despite 20x oversubscription reflects overvaluation concerns, says Dharmesh Kant, Head of Equity Research at Cholamandalam Securities. Calling the eyewear brand’s IPO “overpriced,” he warned that a 50% correction is possible amid competition from Reliance’s Jio Frames. While the business remains strong, Kant believes unsustainable pricing leaves little upside for retail investors.
