Accent Group Ltd (ASX: AX1)
The first ASX dividend shares to look at is footwear focused retailer, Accent.
It is the company behind brands such as Athlete's Foot, HYPEDC, Pivot, Platypus, Sneaker Lab, and Stylerunner.
Accent's shares have been hit hard in 2022 due to tough trading conditions in the retail sector as cost of living pressures hit consumer discretionary spending.
While this is disappointing, analysts at Bell Potter remain positive and appear to see it as a buying opportunity. Its analysts recently reiterated their buy rating and $2.20 price target on the retailer's shares.
The broker is also forecasting some attractive dividend yields in the coming years. Bell Potter has forecast fully franked dividends of 5.8 cents per share in FY 2022 and then 10.7 cents per share in FY 2023. Based on the current Accent share price of $1.24, this will mean yields of 4.7% and 8.6%, respectively.
National Australia Bank Ltd (ASX: NAB)
Another ASX dividend share to look at is banking giant NAB.
Its shares have also been hammered recently, along with the rest of the big four, amid concerns that rapidly rising interest rates could cause more harm than good for the sector.
One broker that is likely to see this pullback as a buying opportunity is Goldman Sachs. Its analysts currently have a conviction buy rating and $34.17 price target on the bank's shares.
As for dividends, the broker is forecasting a $1.50 per share dividend in FY 2022 and then a $1.65 per share dividend in FY 2023. Based on the current NAB share price of $26.06, this will mean fully franked yields of 5.75% and 6.3%, respectively.
