Accent Group Ltd (ASX: AX1)

The first ASX dividend share that has been tipped as a buy is Accent. It is the owner of a growing portfolio of footwear focused store brands including Athlete's Foot, HYPEDC, Pivot, Platypus, Sneaker Lab, and Stylerunner.

It has been a difficult year for Accent due to lockdowns, rising living costs, and softer consumer spending. While this is disappointing, the team at Bell Potter remain positive and see its share price weakness as a buying opportunity.

This is due to the company's "dominant market share in the Australian footwear retailing industry and growth outlook in the youth focused sports apparel."

The broker currently has a buy rating and $1.90 price target on the company's shares.

In respect to dividends, Bell Potter has pencilled in a fully franked dividend of 5.7 cents per share in FY 2022 and then 9 cents per share in FY 2023. Based on the current Accent share price of $1.43, this will mean yields of 4% and 6.3%, respectively.

Elders Ltd (ASX: ELD)

Another ASX dividend share that has been tipped as a buy is agribusiness company Elders.

Unlike Accent, it has been in sensational form again in FY 2022. During the first half, the company reported an 80% increase in earnings before interest and tax to $132.8 million.

And while its growth is expected to moderate now, the team at Goldman Sachs remains very positive on the investment opportunity here. This is due to its "strong track record; good industry structure; potential for positive earnings surprise; and an attractive valuation."

Goldman Sachs has a buy rating and $21.00 price target on its shares.

As for dividends, Goldman is forecasting dividends per share of 50 cents in FY 2022 and 53 cents in FY 2023. Based on the current Elders share price of $12.31, this implies attractive yields of 4.1% and 4.3%, respectively.
