Amcor (ASX: AMC)
Amcor could be an ASX dividend share to buy now according to analysts at Bell Potter.
It is a global packaging company that produces a wide variety of flexible and rigid packaging solutions for consumer, healthcare, and other markets.
The broker is feeling bullish on the company's outlook thanks to its transformative merger with Berry Global. As well as making the business less cyclical, Bell Potter believes this merger leaves it well-positioned for a period of significant growth. It said:
The investment thesis for Amcor is based on its transformative merger with Berry Global, which positions the company for a period of significant growth and quality improvement. The merger is expected to drive two years of double-digit EPS growth, fuelled by an estimated $590 million in synergies, with 80% anticipated to be realised within the first 24 months.
Beyond the near-term earnings growth, the merger also creates a more resilient and less cyclical business by increasing its exposure to the defensive home & personal care and pharmaceutical sectors.
In respect to income, the consensus estimate is for dividends of 78 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 80 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $12.73, this would mean dividend yields of 6.1% and 6.3%, respectively.
Bell Potter has the company in its core portfolio with a key overweight rating "due to its valuation discount and post-merger growth prospects."
Flight Centre Travel Group Ltd (ASX: FLT)
Over at Morgans, its analysts are bullish on travel agent giant Flight Centre and think that it could be an ASX dividend share to buy in December.
The broker believes it is worth sticking with the company through tough trading conditions because when the tide finally turns, it thinks the upside could be material for investors. Commenting on the company, Morgans said:
FLT's FY25 result was broadly in line with its recent update. Corporate was weaker than expected while Leisure and Other were stronger. FLT's guidance for a flat 1H26 was stronger than we expected however it was weaker than consensus. Earnings growth is expected to accelerate in the 2H26 from an improvement in macro-economic conditions and internal business improvement initiatives. We have made minor upgrades to our forecasts.
We are buyers of FLT during this period of short-term uncertainty and share price weakness because when operating conditions ultimately improve, both its earnings and share price leverage to the upside will be material.
With respect to dividends, Morgans is forecasting fully franked dividends of 52 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 61 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on the current Flight Centre share price of $15.41, this would mean dividend yields of 3.4% and 4%, respectively.
Morgans currently has a buy rating and $18.38 price target on its shares.
