Collins Foods Ltd (ASX: CKF)

The first ASX 200 dividend share to look at is quick service restaurant operator Collins Foods.

It is one of the largest operators of KFC restaurants in Australia, has a growing presence in Europe, and a smaller but growing network of Taco Bell restaurants across Australia.

The good news is that management still sees plenty of room for growth in both the Australian and European markets. Late last year, it highlighted that it has a significant organic growth pipeline and attractive opportunities to reach scale in KFC Netherlands and Taco Bell Australia, while adding to its core KFC Australia footprint.

Macquarie is fan of the company and currently has an outperform rating and $14.80 price target on its shares. As for dividends, it is forecasting fully franked dividends per share of 33.4 cents in FY 2022 and 37.7 cents in FY 2023.

Based on the current Collins Foods share price of $10.24, this will mean yields of 3.3% and 3.7%, respectively.

Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES)

Another ASX 200 dividend share to look at is Wesfarmers.

It is the conglomerate behind a high quality portfolio of retail assets as well as a collection of industrial businesses and even a lithium miner.

Among its retail assets are some of the most popular brands in the country. These include Bunnings, Kmart, Officeworks, and Priceline Pharmacy.

Morgans is a fan of the conglomerate and notes that it is run by a highly regarded management team and has a strong balance sheet. The latter could be supportive of further M&A activity in the future. The broker has an add rating and $58.50 price target on its shares.

In respect to dividends, Morgans is forecasting fully franked dividends per share of $1.62 in FY 2022 and $1.81 in FY 2023. Based on the current Wesfarmers share price of $50.34, this will mean yields of 3.2% and 3.6%, respectively.
