Where WDH is headed
Waterdrop in 2028 looks nothing like the company Western investors filed under 'failed Chinese IPO' back in 2021. Revenue has doubled off a base that just doubled again. The brokerage business is throwing off operating cash, the crowdfunding arm has been pruned back to something closer to a customer acquisition funnel than a charity platform, and E-Find, the clinical trial recruitment business, is large enough that nobody on an earnings call has to explain what it does. The stock currently sits at $1.53 with a market cap of $550M against a book value that prices it at 0.74x. Trailing P/E is 7. Revenue grew 105% over the last twelve months. Either the numbers are wrong, or the market has not updated its priors on a Chinese ADR that quietly turned profitable.
