BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP)

The first ASX dividend share to consider buying is this mining giant. BHP has a collection of world class operations across a number of geographies and commodities. Pleasingly, while iron ore prices have fallen heavily from recent highs, other commodities have been picking up the slack.

As a result, BHP has been tipped to generate significant free cash flow again in FY 2022. And thanks to the strength of its balance sheet, this is expected to lead to generous dividend payments in the near future.

The team at Morgans, for example, is forecasting fully franked dividends of $3.40 per share in FY 2022 and $2.44 per share in FY 2023. Based on the current BHP share price of $39.96, this will mean yields of 8.5% and 6.1%, respectively.

Morgans has an add rating and $45.70 price target on the company's shares.

Super Retail Group Ltd (ASX: SUL)

Another ASX dividend share that could be in the buy zone is Super Retail.

It is the retail conglomerate behind the BCF, Macpac, Rebel, and Super Cheap Auto brands. These popular brands have been generating strong sales growth over the last few years and appear well-placed to continue this trend over the 2020s.

This is thanks to their strong market positions, expansion opportunities, and track record of same store sales growth.

The team at Citi is positive on Super Retail. The broker currently has a buy rating and $16.00 price target on the company's shares.

As for dividends, Citi is forecasting fully franked dividends per share of 67 cents in FY 2022 and then 64.5 cents in FY 2023. Based on the current Super Retail share price of $12.59, this will mean yields of 5.3% and 5.1%, respectively.
