Are you hunting for ASX dividend stocks to buy? If you are, it could be worth looking at the ones in this article.
That's because they have all recently been named as buys and tipped to offer attractive dividend yields. Here's what you need to know about them:
Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP)
The first ASX 200 dividend stock that could be a buy according to analysts is Centuria Industrial.
It is Australia's largest domestic pure play industrial property investment vehicle. Centuria Industrial owns a portfolio of 88 high-quality, fit-for-purpose industrial assets worth a collective $3.8 billion. Management notes that these assets are situated in key in-fill locations and close to key infrastructure.
UBS is positive on the company and currently has a buy rating and $3.71 price target on its shares.
As for dividends, the broker is expecting Centuria Industrial to pay dividends per share of 16 cents in both FY 2024 and FY 2025. Based on the current Centuria Industrial share price of $3.10, this will mean dividend yields of 5.15% for income investors across both years.
Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL)
Another ASX 200 dividend stock that could be a great option for income investors is supermarket giant Coles.
That's the view of analysts at Morgans, which believe that company is well-placed to reward shareholders with attractive dividend yields in the coming years.
It is forecasting Coles to pay fully franked dividends of 66 cents per share in FY 2024 and 69 cents per share in FY 2025. Based on the current Coles share price of $17.17, this implies yields of approximately 3.85% and 4%, respectively.
Morgans currently has an add rating and $18.95 price target on its shares.
South32 Ltd (ASX: S32)
A third ASX 200 dividend stock that could be a buy for patient income investors is mining giant South32.
Although the miner may not be in a position to pay a big dividend this year, things could soon change.
That's because the team at Goldman Sachs believes that its dividend could increase significantly. This is thanks to the favourable outlook for copper, aluminium, zinc, and met coal prices.
Goldman is forecasting fully franked dividends per share of 4 US cents in FY 2024, 10 US cents in FY 2025, and then 16 US cents in FY 2026. Based on its latest share price of $3.70 and current exchange rates, this will mean yields of 1.6%, 4%, and 6.5%, respectively.
The broker currently has a buy rating and $4.00 price target on South32's shares.
