Groww's Profit Surges: Fixed Costs Fuel Margin Expansion
25 Nov
Summary
- Groww's operating margins neared 60% due to a fixed-cost model.
- Company is reducing F&O dependence by scaling new verticals.
- Plans to convert 10-20% of affluent users to wealth management clients.

Groww has reported robust top-line growth and a notable expansion in operating margins, nearing 60%. This financial performance is largely driven by its fixed-cost operational model, which accounts for approximately 90% of its expenses. This structure enables a significant portion of incremental revenue to translate directly into profits, enhancing overall profitability without proportional cost increases.
The company is strategically reducing its reliance on Futures & Options (F&O) trading, which currently represents 57% of its revenue. Groww is achieving this diversification by scaling new business verticals, including Margin Trade Funding (MTF), which is showing strong quarterly growth, and wealth management services following its Fisdom acquisition. The recent launch of commodities trading is also set to contribute incremental revenue.
Looking ahead, Groww aims for an annual revenue growth of 20-30%. This ambitious target will be supported by cross-selling opportunities across its product suite, continued margin benefits from its fixed-cost base, and enhanced monetization through wealth advisory and portfolio management services. The company also sees potential in converting a portion of its affluent user base into wealth management clients.
