The broker currently has a buy rating and $9.70 price target on its shares.

Jumbo Interactive Ltd (ASX: JIN)

Another ASX dividend stock that could be a buy for income investors is Jumbo Interactive.

It is the online lottery ticket seller and lottery platform provider behind the Oz Lotteries app and Powered by Jumbo platform.

Morgan Stanley thinks it would be a good pick for investors right now. It was pleased with its positive start to the year and believes it is positioned to pay fully franked dividends of 57.7 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 68.4 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $10.62, this would mean dividend yields of 5.4% and 6.4%, respectively.

Universal Store Holdings Ltd (ASX: UNI)

Finally, youth-focused fashion retailer Universal Store could be an ASX dividend stock to buy.

Bell Potter is positive on the company, highlighting that it is executing very well on its national store rollout strategy.

The broker believes this strong form will continue and is forecasting fully franked dividends of 37.3 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 41.4 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $8.61, this equates to dividend yields of 4.3% and 4.8%, respectively.
