Are you looking for some dividend shares to buy? If you are, then you might want to look at the ones listed below.
Here's why these ASX dividend shares could be in the buy zone:
Adairs Ltd (ASX: ADH)
The first ASX dividend share to look at is Adairs. It is the leading homewares and furniture retailer behind a number of brands including Adairs, Mocka, and, shortly, Focus on Furniture. The company has just signed an agreement to acquire the latter, boosting its exposure to the $8.3 billion bulky furniture category.
Morgans was pleased with the acquisition. In response, the broker retained its add rating and lifted its price target to $4.80. This compares to favourably to the latest Adairs share price of $3.85.
The broker also expects generous dividends in the near term. It is forecasting fully franked dividends per share of 23 cents in FY 2022 and then 29 cents in FY 2023. This equates to yields of 6% and 7.5%, respectively.
Australia and New Zealand Banking GrpLtd (ASX: ANZ)
Another ASX dividend share that could be a buy is ANZ. It could be a top option for income investors that don't already have exposure to the banking sector. Particularly given its strong position in business banking, which is experiencing much more favourable trading conditions than retail banking.
It was partly thanks to this side of the business that ANZ recently delivered an impressive full year result. For the 12 months ended 30 September, the bank reported a 72% jump in statutory profit after tax to $6,162 million and a 65% increase in cash earnings from continuing operations to $6,198 million.
The team at Bell Potter is feeling positive about ANZ. Last week it reiterated its buy rating and $30.00 price target.
As for dividends, the broker is expecting fully franked dividends per share of 144 cents in FY 2022 and 151 cents in FY 2023. Based on the current ANZ share price of $27.32, this will mean yields of 5.3% and 5.5%, respectively.
