Do you have room in your portfolio for some new income stocks?

If you do, then the three ASX 200 dividend stocks listed below could be worth considering.

Here's what sort of dividend yields analysts are expecting from these buy-rated stocks:

APA Group (ASX: APA)

APA Group could be a great ASX 200 dividend stock to buy according to analysts. It is a leading Australian energy infrastructure business that owns a $26 billion portfolio of gas, electricity, solar and wind assets.

If you are looking for a reliable dividend payer, then it is hard to look beyond APA Group. That's because the company is on track to lift its dividend for 20 years in a row.

Macquarie then expects the run to continue. It is forecasting dividend increases to 57 cents per share in FY 2025 and then 57.5 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on the current APA Group share price of $7.31, this equates to 7.8% and 7.9% dividend yields, respectively.

Macquarie has an outperform rating and $8.13 price target on its shares.

Coronado Global Resources Inc (ASX: CRN)

If you don't mind investing in the mining sector, then Coronado Global Resources could be an ASX 200 dividend stock to buy.

It is the largest pure play met coal producer, delivering total sales of 15.6Mt into global export markets in 2023.

The team at Bell Potter is a fan of the company and thinks it could be a great ASX dividend stock to buy right now. It notes that from "late CY24, CRN's production profile will de-risk with the introduction of 1.5-2.0Mtpa incremental saleable production from its less weather-affected and lower cost Mammoth Underground Project."

It expects this to support the payment of partially franked dividends of 10 cents per share in FY 2025 and then 8.6 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on its current share price of 87.5 cents, this equates to dividend yields of 11.4% and 9.8%, respectively.

Bell Potter has a buy rating and $1.60 price target on its shares.

Super Retail Group Ltd (ASX: SUL)

Finally, Goldman Sachs thinks that Super Retail could be an ASX 200 dividend stock to buy. It is the retailer behind the BCF, MacPac, Supercheap Auto, and Rebel store brands.

The broker likes Super Retail to its cheap valuation and its sales and productivity levers. It notes that "SUL is one of the few retailers in Australia that has both a space and sales productivity lever that we expect the company to be able to pull."

It is forecasting fully franked dividends per share of 67 cents in FY 2025 and then 73 cents in FY 2026. Based on its current share price of $14.76, this will mean yields of 4.5% and 5%, respectively.

Goldman has a buy rating and $17.60 price target on its shares.
