GQG Partners Inc. (ASX: GQG)

The first high-yield ASX dividend stock to look at is GQG Partners. It is an investment company that manages global and emerging market equity portfolios for institutions, advisors, and individuals worldwide.

The team at Macquarie remains positive on the company despite its poor performance this year.

In fact, even though its fund inflows have been struggling because of its defensive investment strategies in a booming share market, the broker still believes it is positioned to reward shareholders with some big dividend yields in the coming years.

It is forecasting dividends of approximately 22.7 cents per share in FY 2025 and then 24 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on its current share price of $1.79, this equates to massive dividend yields of 10.6% and 11.7%, respectively.

Macquarie has an outperform rating and $2.64 price target on its shares.

IPH Ltd (ASX: IPH)

Morgans thinks that IPH could be a high-yield ASX dividend stock to buy this week.

It is a leading intellectual property services provider, assisting businesses across the globe with patents, trademarks, and legal protection.

IPH has one of the best dividend track records around and has lifted its payout each year for over a decade.

The good news is that Morgans believes the company is well-placed to continue this trend in the coming years. It is forecasting fully franked dividends of 35 cents per share in FY 2025 and then 36 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on the current IPH share price of $5.63, this will mean dividend yields of 6.2% and 6.4%, respectively.

Morgans has an add rating and $6.30 price target on its shares.

Transurban Group (ASX: TCL)

A final high-yield ASX dividend stock to buy could be Transurban.

It is toll road giant with assets across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and North America, including CityLink in Melbourne and Cross City Tunnel in Sydney.

UBS is positive on the company's outlook and is forecasting dividends per share of 65 cents in FY 2025 and then 69 cents in FY 2026. Based on its current share price of $14.05, this would mean dividend yields of 4.6% and 4.9%, respectively.

UBS has a buy rating and $14.85 price target on its shares.
