In his post, Nithin Kamath from Zerodha mentioned that whenever their financial information is disclosed. There’s a lot of guessing about the company’s worth. He pointed out that despite what people might think. Many of these guesses are much more than what the company is actually worth.
Nithin Kamath emphasized that at Zerodha. The team has never been preoccupied with the fluctuating estimated values because these can change with the market situation. He stated that concentrating on these changing values can divert their attention from the main goal. Which is to establish a strong and self-reliant business. He stressed that the primary aim has always been to build a business that doesn’t depend on outside funding.

Nithin Kamath highlighted that the amount of profit earned is often subject to chance. It mostly depends on the current state of the market. He mentioned that businesses involved in stockbroking. The capital market are prone to ups and downs and they carry substantial risks. He pointed out that during bullish market phases. There’s a tendency to believe that market participation and activity will keep increasing indefinitely. However, he emphasized that they constantly discuss the possibility of a significant drop as much as 50%. In their business’s activity and revenue if the markets decline suddenly. He also added that their control over these circumstances is limited. Even a single regulatory change can lead to a significant decline, sometimes by over 50%, in their revenue.
Nithin Kamath expressed that considering the inevitable downturns. They believe that in the long term. They can achieve a growth rate of 10 to 15 percent, based on the size they have currently reached.
