Aurizon Holdings Ltd (ASX: AZJ)
The first ASX 200 dividend stock that could be a buy for income investors is Aurizon.
It is Australia's largest rail freight operator. Through its extensive national rail and road network, it connects miners, primary producers, and industry with international and domestic markets.
Morgans is a fan of the company. Its analysts highlight that they "see value in the stock at current prices, supported by the far higher quality Network and Coal haulage businesses."
As for dividends, Morgans 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 $3.55, this will mean yields of 4.8% and 5.35%, respectively.
The broker has an add rating and $3.81 price target on its shares.
QBE Insurance Group Ltd (ASX: QBE)
Another ASX 200 dividend stock that has been named as a buy is insurance giant QBE.
Analysts at Citi are positive on the company. And while QBE's recent update was a touch disappointing, the broker still believes that it "suggests higher margins in future especially once inflation recedes."
As for dividends, Citi is forecasting a 57 cents per share dividend in FY 2023 and then a 73 cents per share dividend in FY 2024. Based on the latest QBE share price of $14.82, this equates to yields of 3.85% and 4.9%, respectively.
Citi has a buy rating and $16.30 price target on QBE's shares.
