HomeCo Daily Needs REIT (ASX: HDN)
The first ASX dividend share that could be a buy right now is HomeCo Daily Needs REIT.
It is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a focus on convenience-based assets. This is across the target sub-sectors of neighbourhood retail, large format retail and health & services. It counts blue chips Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW) and Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES) among its largest tenants.
UBS is bullish on the company and highlights the discount its shares trade on compared to its net tangible assets.
As for income, the broker is forecasting dividends per share of 9 cents in FY 2026 and FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $1.37, this would mean dividend yields of 6.7% and 6.8%, respectively.
UBS has a buy rating and $1.53 price target on its shares.
Perpetual Ltd (ASX: PPT)
Financial services company Perpetual could be an ASX dividend share to buy right now according to analysts at Bell Potter.
The broker is positive due partly to its belief that its transformation will start to bear fruit soon. Its analysts highlight that they "anticipate that the sale of the Wealth Management business will free resource within the company, reducing net debt, and lower interest costs which in turn should free cashflow for dividends and reinvestment in the business."
Bell Potter is forecasting dividends per share of $1.25 in FY 2026 and then $1.38 in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $18.60, this would mean dividend yields of 6.7% and 7.4%, respectively.
The broker has a buy rating and $24.00 price target on its shares.
Rural Funds Group (ASX: RFF)
Another ASX dividend share that is being tipped as a buy is Rural Funds.
It is an owner of a diversified portfolio of farmland, including cattle, vineyards, and cropping properties, which it leases to high-quality tenants on long-term agreements.
Bell Potter is positive on the company and thinks its shares are being undervalued by the market.
In addition, they expect some generous dividend yields in the near term. The broker is forecasting dividends per share of 11.7 cents in both FY 2026 and FY 2027. Based on its current share price, this would mean dividend yields of 6% for both years.
Bell Potter has a buy rating and $2.45 price target on Rural Funds' shares.
