Do you have room in your income portfolio for some new additions in 2026?

If you do, then it could be worth looking at the three ASX dividend stocks named below.

They have recently been tipped as buys and are forecast by brokers to pay attractive dividends in the near term.

Here's what you need to know about them:

Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL)

As one of Australia's largest supermarket chains, Coles benefits from steady, recession-resistant demand that makes for dependable cashflow. Aussies always need the groceries and household essentials that fill their fridges and shelves.

This sort of consistent demand, together with strong pricing power, helps support the company's dividends year after year.

Macquarie is feeling bullish about Coles' outlook and expects fully franked dividends of 78 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 86 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $21.39, this would mean dividend yields of 3.6% and 4%, respectively.

The broker has an outperform rating and $26.10 price target on its shares.

IPH Ltd (ASX: IPH)

Another ASX dividend stock that has been given the thumbs up by analysts is IPH.

It is a global intellectual property services company that helps clients protect their patents, trademarks, and intellectual property across multiple jurisdictions through firms like Smart & Biggar and Spruson & Ferguson.

Its defensive revenue profile, strong cash conversion, and disciplined capital management have allowed the company to pay generous dividends over many years.

The good news is that Morgans expects this trend to continue. It is forecasting fully franked dividends of 37 cents per share in both FY 2026 and FY 2027. Based on the current IPH share price of $3.54, this implies massive 10% dividend yields.

Morgans also sees plenty of upside for investors. It has a buy rating and $6.05 price target on its shares.

Jumbo Interactive Ltd (ASX: JIN)

A final ASX dividend stock that income investors might want to look at is Jumbo Interactive.

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

Macquarie is feeling bullish on the company. It believes it is positioned to pay fully franked dividends of 33 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 44.5 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $11.30, this would mean dividend yields of 2.9% and 3.9%, respectively.

Macquarie has an outperform rating and $15.00 price target on its shares.
