Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT (ASX: CQE)
The first ASX 200 dividend share that could be a buy is Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT.
Goldman Sachs is very bullish on this real estate investment trust, which invests in social infrastructure properties such as bus depots, police and justice services facilities, and childcare centres. The broker currently has a conviction buy rating and $4.13 price target on its shares.
The broker notes that "despite the challenging macroeconomic backdrop, childcare fundamentals are solid, and we remain attracted to CQE's resilient underlying cash flows."
As for dividends, Goldman Sachs is forecasting dividends of 17.2 cents per share in in FY 2023 and then 18 cents per share in FY 2024. Based on the current Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT unit price of $3.32, this will mean yields of 5.2% and 5.4%, respectively.
QBE Insurance Group Ltd (ASX: QBE)
Another ASX 200 dividend share that has been named as a buy is insurance giant QBE.
Morgans is positive on the insurance giant and currently has an add rating and $14.89 price target on its shares.
The broker is expecting "QBE's earnings profile to improve strongly over the next few years." This is expected to be underpinned by "strong rate increases still flowing through QBE's insurance book, and further cost-out benefits."
Morgans expects this to lead to a 42 cents per share dividend being paid in FY 2022 and then a 90 cents per share dividend in FY 2023. Based on the latest QBE share price of $13.01, this equates to yields of 3.2% and 6.9%, respectively.
