Five Screens, Shown in Full

Does not pass. Excluded industry: Insurance - Diversified

TestFigureLimitWhat it meansStatus
Business activity Excluded Core business clean Excluded industry: Insurance - Diversified Fail
Debt load Excluded Below 33% Interest-bearing debt is of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows. Fail
Interest-bearing cash Excluded Below 33% Interest-bearing cash and securities are of assets, above the one-third limit. Fail
Receivables Excluded Below 49% Money owed to the company is of assets, above the 49% limit. Fail
Revenue purity Excluded Below 5% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, over the 5% line. Fail

Five checks adapted from AAOIFI screening standards: business activity plus four balance-sheet ratios. All five must pass for ethical clearance. Every figure is arithmetic on public accounts, not judgement.

The Ethical Read

Why It Falls Short, in Plain English

Waterdrop does not clear the screen at the business-activity stage. It operates in conventional financial services, which the screen treats as interest-based, so the financial ratios are not the deciding factor here.

Read as at 2026-10-04. It updates when the underlying figures move, and past reads are kept below.

The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market; its business and earnings are exposed to China and to currency swings.
