Chinese insurance technology company Waterdrop Inc began its first trading day on Friday by debuting below its offer price, a rocky start as a public company, on Wall Street.
The Tencent-backed enterprise's stock opened at $10.25 on the New York Stock Exchange, below its offer price of $12. Its share tumbled more than 19 percent to close at $9.7 on the New York debut Friday.
