Zerodha’s Nithin Kamath cautions investors on crazy valuations of brokerages

The chief executive of India’s largest retail stockbroker Zerodha on Friday cautioned investors about “crazy valuations” of brokerages across the globe.

“I am pessimistic about the valuations of brokerages around the world, including that of Zerodha. This is because the performance of broking is directly tied to market performance. If people aren’t making money or there is no greed, activity usually drops off a cliff,” Nithin Kamath tweeted.

This comes close on the heels of a note released by JPMorgan analysts that said online discount brokerage Robinhood stock could
crash 22% in the coming months after millions of more shares are added to the market.

Kamath said the best tech, products and low pricing won’t help.

“A new report from JPMorgan on Robinhood (RH) said that app downloads are down by 78% Q-o-Q and active users by 40% Q-o-Q. And this is still a bull market, just that market has plateaued last few months,” he tweeted.
