Waterdrop Inc. ( WDH ) Q3 2025 Earnings Call December 3, 2025 7:00 AM EST Company Participants Xiaoying Xu - Head of Finance Wei Ran - Partner, GM of Insurance Technology Business & Director Jasmine Lee Presentation Unknown Executive Good morning, everyone. This is Tracy Li from Waterdrop Investor Relations.
More than a third of China's population has used Waterdrop, leaving a vast pool of potential clients. Secular growth is going to be a strong tailwind for the industry, with CAGR estimations ranging from 13% (traditional insurance) to 54% (insurtech). Absolute and relative valuation suggest some undervaluation. I expect 30% upside for the next 12 months, based on a residual income model.
Waterdrop delivered strong quarterly results with revenue growth, lower marketing expenses, and promising new products like Million Medical Insurance and Jiehaoyun upgrade. My DCF model and the company's share repurchases near $1.90 suggest limited upside at current prices. Significant risks include regulatory uncertainty in China, Cayman Islands governance issues, and conflicts of interest with Tencent.
Waterdrop stock has struggled to move higher for months, but the latest quarterly report has enough to warrant optimism. Earnings grew by 30+% in the last report and the FY2025 outlook calls for more growth, which stands in contrast to the lagging stock. WDH is arguably undervalued at current levels in terms of the balance sheet, but also in terms of the income statement.

Waterdrop stock appears to have broken out after failing to overcome resistance for over a year, which by itself is reason to be bullish. The breakout followed in the wake of a strong Q4 FY2024 report, which showed there is much to be bullish about. WDH looks primed to move higher, but it is not impossible for it to get derailed, especially if U.S.-China relations turn frosty.

Waterdrop Inc. is significantly undervalued, with expected FCF growth driven by AI-driven customer experience, proprietary CRM, and technical connections with large insurance carriers. The company's medical crowdfunding model appears to be a key catalyst for future net sales and income growth. Risks include operating in China, potential failed mergers and acquisitions, and regulatory changes, but the stock repurchase program may boost demand and stock price.
