A great dividend yield

This also makes it a great undervalued stock to own.
A good yield
IndiaBulls Housing declares dividend almost 4 times each year. The yield on the stock works to 6.5 per cent on Rs 828, which is the current market price. This is also a good fundamentally undervalued stock. First, the company's 1-year forward p/e ratio is just 12 times. It is a company that is in the fast growing consumer housing finance sector, which is reportedly growing at 20 per cent. The sector also keeps getting benefits from the Union Budget. A good stock to buy.
