The first ASX 300 dividend share that could be a buy according to analysts is Centuria Industrial.
It is Australia's largest domestic pure play industrial property company with a portfolio of 88 high-quality, fit-for-purpose industrial assets. Management notes that approximately 66% of portfolio income is derived from tenants directly linked to the production, packaging and distribution of consumer staples, pharmaceuticals and telecommunications.

As for income, the broker is expecting Centuria Industrial to pay dividends per share of 16 cents in both FY 2024 and in FY 2025. Based on the current Centuria Industrial share price of $3.54, this represents yields of 4.5% in both years.
Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL)
Another ASX 300 dividend share for income investors to look at is supermarket giant Coles.
Bell Potter is has become a big fan of the company following earnings season. So much so, it has just added the supermarket operator to its preferred list. These are Australian equities that it believes offer attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term.
