I've been keeping an eye on Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V. (AMS:AD) because I'm attracted to its fundamentals. Looking at the company as a whole, as a potential stock investment, I believe AD has a lot to offer. Basically, it is a highly-regarded dividend-paying company that has been a rockstar for income investors, currently trading at an attractive share price. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. If you're interested in understanding beyond my broad commentary, read the full report on Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize here.

Undervalued established dividend payer

AD's shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. This mispricing gives investors the opportunity to buy into the stock at a cheap price compared to the value they will be receiving, should analysts' consensus forecast growth be correct. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, AD's share price is trading below the group's average. This bolsters the proposition that AD's price is currently discounted.

For those seeking income streams from their portfolio, AD is a robust dividend payer as well. Over the past decade, the company has consistently increased its dividend payout, reaching a yield of 3.6%.
