Aurizon Holdings Ltd (ASX: AZJ)

The first ASX dividend share that could be a buy is Aurizon. It is Australia's largest rail freight operator, connecting miners, primary producers, and industry with international and domestic markets.

Morgans is positive on the company and recently revealed that its analysts "see value in the stock at current prices, supported by the far higher quality Network and Coal haulage businesses."

The broker is also expecting some attractive yields from this dividend share. It is forecasting partially franked dividends of 17 cents per share in FY 2023 and then 19 cents per share in FY 2024. Based on the latest Aurizon share price of $3.45, this will mean yields of 4.9% and 5.5%, respectively.

Morgans currently has an add rating and $3.81 price target on its shares.

Charter Hall Long WALE REIT (ASX: CLW)

Another ASX dividend share that could be worth considering is the Charter Hall Long Wale REIT. This property company focuses on high quality real estate assets leased to corporate and government tenants on long term leases.

Citi is very positive on the Charter Hall Long Wale REIT. This is due partly to its long leases and high occupancy rate, which it believes make the company a low risk option. The broker highlights its "low risk income stream with c. 12 year WALE and 99.9% occupancy."

It expects this to support dividends per share of 28 cents in FY 2023 and 29 cents in FY 2024. Based on the current Charter Hall Long Wale REIT share price of $4.28, this will mean yields of 6.5% and 6.8%, respectively.

Citi currently has a buy rating and $5.00 price target on its shares.
