BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP)

The first ASX dividend share that could be a buy is BHP. It is one of the world's largest miners with a high-quality portfolio of assets across several commodities and geographies.

Goldman Sachs is positive on the Big Australian. In response to its half-year results, the broker retained its buy rating with a $49.40 price target.

As for income, its analysts are expecting the mining giant to provide investors with attractive dividend yields in the near term.

They are forecasting fully franked dividends of approximately ~$2.19 per share in FY 2024 and then ~$1.94 per share in FY 2025. Based on the current BHP share price of $42.82, this equates to yields of 5.1% and 4.5%, respectively.

Rural Funds Group (ASX: RFF)

Another ASX dividend share that has been named as a buy is Rural Funds.

It is an agricultural property company that leases almond orchards, macadamia orchards, poultry property and infrastructure, vineyards, cattle properties, cropping properties, cattle and water rights.

Bell Potter currently has a buy rating and $2.40 price target on its shares.

In respect to dividends, the broker is forecasting dividends per share of 11.7 cents in both FY 2024 and FY 2025. Based on the current Rural Funds share price of $2.13, this will mean yields of 5.5% in both years for investors.

Stockland Corporation Ltd (ASX: SGP)

Finally, this residential and land lease developer and retail, logistics and office real estate property manager could be a third ASX dividend share to buy right now.

Citi is feeling very positive about the company. So much so, it currently has a buy rating and $5.00 price target on its shares.
