Premier Investments Limited (ASX: PMV)
Premier Investments is one of the leading ASX 200 shares involved in the retail industry. It has a number of apparel brands within its portfolio such as Just Jeans, Peter Alexander, Jay Jays, Dotti and Portmans.

The trailing full year dividend of $0.80 per share, translates to a grossed-up dividend yield of 4.2%.

FY21 retail global sales rose 18.7% to $1.4 billion with Peter Alexander sales rising 34.7% to $388.2 million. Overall online sales jumped 36.4% to $300.7 million.

Despite widespread lockdowns for many of its stores in the first 17 weeks of FY22, Premier Investments' sales were only down by 3.5% and had improved nicely from the update given in September 2021 when its FY22 was only a few weeks old.
According to Commsec, the Premier Investments share price is valued at 20x FY22's estimated earnings with a projected grossed-up dividend yield of 4.7%.
Dicker Data Ltd (ASX: DDR)
Dicker Data claims to be Australia's leading distributor of IT hardware, software, cloud and internet of things solutions for reseller partners. It helps business clients transition customers through technological change.
The IT business is benefiting in a number of areas, with strong growth since the onset of COVID as more businesses need cloud infrastructure and home office capabilities.
On top of that, the continuing global chip shortage and consequent supply constraints have contributed to an overall improvement in "margin quality". This is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
Dicker Data is experiencing strong demand with a backlog of orders to fulfil and as supply improves, it's expecting to meet this demand in the final quarter of 2021.
The ASX 200 dividend share notes that the role of technology in business success continues to proliferate and the evolving hybrid and modern workforce becomes increasingly dependent on more intelligent, faster and collaborate tech solutions.
Cybersecurity is another area that Dicker Data can generate growing earnings from.
In the company's latest update for the nine months to September 2021, it reported that total revenue was up 16.1% to $1.72 billion and profit before tax had increased by 26% to $76.6 million.
The last 12 months of dividends amounts to a grossed-up dividend yield of 4%. According to Commsec, the Dicker Data share price is valued at 27x FY23's estimated earnings.
