Are you wanting to add some ASX dividend shares to your income portfolio next week?
If you are, then it could be worth checking out the dividend-payers listed below that brokers rate as buys:
Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT (ASX: HCW)
The first ASX dividend share that could be a buy for income investors next week is the Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT.
This property company has a focus on health and wellness assets. These are properties such as hospitals, aged care, childcare, government, life sciences and research, and primary care and wellness properties.
Morgans is positive on the company and is expecting some attractive dividend yields in the coming years.
The broker is forecasting dividends per share of 7.6 cents in FY 2023 and 8 cents in FY 2024. Based on the current Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT unit price of $1.31, this will mean dividend yields of 5.8% and 6.1%, respectively.
Morgans has an add rating and a $1.72 price target on its shares.
Transurban Group (ASX: TCL)
Another ASX dividend share that could be a buy when the market reopens is Transurban.
It is one of the world's leading toll road operators with a collection of important roads across several locations.
After being a bit of a ghost town during the pandemic, traffic volumes on the company's roads have rebounded and hit record levels in FY 2023. And with inflation-linked price increases coming, this bodes well for its earnings and dividend growth in the coming years.
UBS expects this to be the case and is forecasting dividends per share of 57 cents in FY 2023 and then 61 cents in FY 2024. Based on the current Transurban share price of $14.22, this will mean yields of 4% and 4.3%, respectively.
UBS has a buy rating and a $15.45 price target on its shares.
