  • Stock Universe – Nifty 500
  • Close price under Rs. 1,000
  • Net profit margin – sorted from high to low
  • 5-yr average net profit margin

With a net profit margin, an investor can ascertain whether the company is generating enough profit. Companies with positive net profit margins indicate that the company’s operating and overhead costs are in check.

Sometimes, despite the positive net profit margin for FY, the average net profit lies in the negative, indicating that the company’s revenue may be increasing along with the operating costs. Therefore, considering a 5-yr average net profit margin is important, as it will help you ascertain companies with healthy net profit margins over the years.

Note: The information is dated 1st January 2024. We have listed the best stocks under Rs. 1000 based on the following parameters:

  • Stock Universe – Nifty 500
  • Close price under Rs. 1,000
  • Dividend yield – sorted from high to low
  • Dividend per share
  • 3-yr historical dividend growth – set from 0 to high

A company usually announces a dividend, the portion of a profit, to pay its valued shareholders. It usually occurs when a company is maintaining a profitable balance sheet. The dividend yield is the percentage of profit to be distributed per share. For example, if a company with a stock price of Rs. 500 declares a dividend of Rs. 50 per share. In that case, the stock’s dividend yield will be 50/500*100 = 10%.

If you want to identify stocks that have generated consistent dividends, check out the 3-yr historical dividend growth. It indicates the percentage by which a company’s dividend has grown over the last three years. The higher these indicators, the better it is.

  • Stock Universe: Nifty 500
  • Close price under Rs. 1,000
  • ROE – sorted from high to low
  • 5-yr average ROE – set from 0 to high

The Return on Equity (ROE) metric reflects the level of profitability that a company achieves in relation to its shareholders’ equity. It gauges the efficiency with which a company utilises its equity financing to generate profits. A higher ROE signifies better performance in this regard.


Conclusion

Relying solely on one parameter to evaluate a stock may offer a partial picture. For example, a stock may have a high dividend yield in FY 2022 but also carry a significant debt burden and experience declining net profit margins. Therefore, before buying any stock, it’s important to consider multiple parameters and financial ratios. Whether looking for the best stocks for a long-term or short-term trade, with Tickertape Stock Screener, you can identify good stocks at low prices.
