This is the owner’s capital in a business. Someone who buys shares in a company becomes a part-owner in the business. In that sense, this is risk capital, since the owner’s earnings from the business are linked to the fortunes, and hence the risks, of the business. When one buys the shares of a company through the secondary market, the share price could be high or low in comparison to the fair price.


Historically, equity investing has generated returns in excess of inflation, which means the purchasing power of one’s money has increased over the years. It has also delivered higher returns than other investment avenues, most of the time, if one considers long investment periods. Since the base year of 1979, Sensex has grown from a level of 100 to around 66000 i.e., July 2023. This is an appreciation of around 16 percent p.a., compounded annually.


Apart from long term capital appreciation, equity share owners may also receive dividends from the company. Such dividends are shared out of the profit that the company has generated from its business operations. If the company does really well, the dividends tend to grow over the years.


To sum up, equity share prices generally fluctuate a lot, often without regard to the business fundamentals. However, over long periods of time, the share prices follow the fortunes of the firm. If the profits of the company continue to grow over the years, the share price follows.
