However, Hindustan Zinc stock is just 4% away from its 52-week low of Rs 289. The stock is a very good buy for its dividend yields. The shares of the company are available at a dividend yield of 5.87%, which is rather attractive. We suggest buying the stock for its low valuations and high dividend yields. 

Aarti Industries

This stock has fallen from 52-week highs of Rs 1168 to the current market price of Rs 794. The shares are just 1.39% away from their 52-week lows.

It still looks over priced at a price to earnings multiples of 31 times. The company no doubt has a strong brand equity, but, this year profitability might be impacted by increase in raw material prices.
