Macquarie Group Ltd (ASX: MQG)
The first ASX 200 dividend share that could be a buy is investment bank Macquarie.
Morgans remains positive on the company despite the recent release of an underwhelming half year result. It said:
Overall, we saw this as a soft result that was well below market earnings expectations, although clearly a normalisation in Macquarie Group's operating environment is the key driver here. We lower our MQG FY24F EPS by ~-5%, with slight lifts to other future year earnings.
Morgans has an add rating and a $182.80 price target on its shares.
As for dividends, the broker is now expecting partially franked dividends of $6.71 per share in FY 2024 and $7.01 per share in FY 2024. Based on the current Macquarie share price of $168.44, this will mean yields of 4% and 4.1%, respectively.
Woolworths Limited (ASX: WOW)
Another ASX 200 dividend share that has been given the thumbs up is Woolworths Group. It is of course the retail giant behind the Woolworths supermarkets and Big W brands, among others.
Goldman Sachs is very positive on the company and has named it on its coveted conviction list. Earlier this week, the broker summarised its bullish view. It said:
Lisa Deng forecasts Woolworths will deliver FY23-26E 3-yr group NPAT CAGR of 8.2%, on the back of 1) robust supermarkets growth of ~4% in FY23-26E, 2) further market share gain due to early mover advantage in digitalization and omni-channel execution, and 3) loyalty/retail media further margin opportunities.
Goldman currently has a conviction buy rating and a $42.40 price target on Woolworths shares.
In respect to your second income, the broker is forecasting fully franked dividends per share of $1.49 in FY 2024 and $1.63 in FY 2025. Based on the current Woolworths share price of $35.85, this will mean yields of 4.15% and 4.55%, respectively.
