The good news for income investors is that there are a lot of options to choose from on the Australian share market.

But which ASX dividend stocks could be buys this month?

Let's take a look at two that analysts at Bell Potter are currently recommending as buys:

GDI Property Group Ltd (ASX: GDI)

GDI Property Group could be an ASX dividend stock to buy now. It is an integrated, internally managed property and funds management group with capabilities in ownership, management, refurbishment, leasing, and syndication of office properties.

Bell Potter points out that GDI Property's shares are trading at a sizeable discount to their net tangible assets (NTA). It thinks this could have created a buying opportunity for investors. It said:

No change to our Buy recommendation. GDI continues to trade at a significant -41% discount to NTA which reflects no value for its FM OpCo, and while the Perth office market recovery could be a 'slow burn' with early leasing wins working through for GDI, we do still see upside from current levels which drops straight through to FFO gains.

As for income, the broker is forecasting dividends of 5 cents per share in both FY 2026 and FY 2027. Based on its current share price of 63 cents, this would mean dividend yields of almost 8% for both years.

Bell Potter sees plenty of upside for its shares. It has a buy rating and 85 cents price target on them.

Harvey Norman Holdings Ltd (ASX: HVN)

Another ASX dividend stock that Bell Potter rates highly for income investors is Harvey Norman. It is of course one of Australia's leading retailers.

Although its shares have rallied strongly over the past 12 months, Bell Potter believes they are still good value, especially when you factor in its property portfolio. It commented:

Despite the strong re-rate in the name, HVN trades at ~2.0x market capitalisation to freehold property value as Australia's single largest owner in large format retail with a global portfolio surpassing $4.5b and collectively owning ~40% of their stores (franchised in Australia and company operated offshore). This sees our view that of the 1-year forward ~19x P/E multiple as justified considering the multiple catalysts near/mid-term.

The broker is expecting fully franked dividends of 30.9 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 35.3 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $6.73, this would mean dividend yields of 4.6% and 5.25%, respectively.

Bell Potter has a buy rating and $8.30 price target on its shares.
