Very undervalued with high growth potential and pays a dividend

DHFL is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company’s expected cash flow going forward. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if DHFL’s projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, DHFL’s share price is trading below the group’s average. This bolsters the proposition that DHFL’s price is currently discounted.
