Qantas Airways Ltd (ASX: QAN)
Qantas is Australia's flagship airline, and after a couple of turbulent years during the pandemic, the company has come back stronger than ever.
It didn't waste a crisis and used that time to rebuild its balance sheet, cut costs, and modernising its fleet.
And with fuel costs trending lower and passenger demand still robust, Qantas is now generating strong cash flows. This has allowed the airline to resume dividend payments and undertake share buybacks.
The team at Macquarie expects Qantas to increase its dividend in the coming years. It is forecasting fully franked dividends of 53.4 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 65 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $10.87, this would mean dividend yields of 4.9% and 6%, respectively.
Macquarie has an outperform rating and $12.29 price target on its shares.
HomeCo Daily Needs REIT (ASX: HDN)
For investors wanting a steady income stream, the HomeCo Daily Needs REIT could be a top choice. This real estate investment trust owns a diversified portfolio of convenience-based retail assets across Australia. This includes supermarkets, medical centres, and essential services.
This focus on daily needs tenants makes the ASX dividend share more resilient than traditional retail property owners. Especially given that the majority of its tenants are large, stable businesses such as Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW) and Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL), which provide defensive cash flows even during economic downturns.
UBS believes the company is positioned to pay dividends of 8.6 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 8.7 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $1.39, this equates to dividend yields of 6.2% and 6.25%, respectively.
The broker currently has a buy rating and $1.53 price target on its shares.
Universal Store Holdings Ltd (ASX: UNI)
A third ASX dividend share that could be a buy is Universal Store. It is one of Australia's most successful youth fashion retailers, operating brands such as Perfect Stranger, Thrills, and of course Universal Store.
Despite a challenging retail environment, the company continues to deliver solid profit growth and dividend growth.
Bell Potter expects this to continue and is forecasting fully franked dividends of 36.8 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 41.1 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $8.87, this would mean dividend yields of 4.1% and 4.6%, respectively.
The broker has a buy rating and $10.50 price target on its shares.
