Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★★
Overview: Wataniya Insurance Company offers a variety of insurance products and services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with a market capitalization of SAR 952 million.
Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from Motor-Comp insurance, which contributes SAR 865.53 million, followed by Properties and Accidents & Liability segments at SAR 221.76 million and SAR 161.60 million, respectively. Net gains on investments measured at FVTPL add SAR 16.61 million to its financial performance, while commission income from financial assets not measured at FVTPL contributes another SAR 51.59 million.
Wataniya Insurance, a smaller player in the insurance sector, seems to be making waves with its impressive earnings growth of 150% over the past year, outpacing the industry average. Its net income for nine months reached SAR 70.56 million, up from SAR 53.08 million previously. Despite a dip in third-quarter net income to SAR 14.88 million from SAR 33.99 million last year, Wataniya's basic earnings per share rose to SAR 1.76 for nine months compared to SAR 1.33 before. With no debt and a favorable price-to-earnings ratio of 9x against the market's average of 23x, it appears undervalued relative to peers.
