Accent Group Ltd (ASX: AX1)

The first ASX dividend share to look at is this footwear focused retailer which owns and operates a range of brands such as HYPE DC, Platypus, and The Athlete's Foot.

While its performance in FY 2022 has disappointed because of lockdowns, this is only expected to be a short term headwind. In light of this, the future remains very bright for Accent and the team at Bell Potter has urged investors to "buy on current weakness."

The broker has a buy rating and $2.75 price target. This compares favourably to the current Accent share price of $2.10.

In addition, Bell Potter is expecting fully franked dividends per share of 5.4 cents in FY 2022 and then 11 cents in FY 2023. This equates to yields of 2.6% and 5.2%, respectively.

Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC)

This banking giant could be a dividend share to buy according to the team at Morgans.

In response to the bank's first quarter update, its analysts have reiterated their add rating and $29.50 price target.

For some time now the broker has been stating its belief that the market was being too negative on the bank's outlook. It feels this view has been justified with its latest update.

Morgans commented: "We believe the trading update supports the view that the challenges facing WBC are not unsurmountable and that the stock should not be priced like a value trap. We believe the update particularly serves to alleviate investor concerns around the cost outlook."

As for dividends, the broker has pencilled in fully franked dividends per share of $1.19 in FY 2022 and then $1.60 in FY 2023. Based on the current Westpac share price of $21.52, this will mean yields of 5.5% and 7.4%, respectively.
