Flight Centre Travel Group Ltd (ASX: FLT)

Morgans is bullish on this travel agent giant and sees it as an ASX dividend share to snap up this month. It has a buy rating and $18.05 price target on its shares. It thinks its shares are cheap based on its FY 2027 forecasts. It said:

FLT's 1H26 NBPT was up 4.1%, a beat on guidance for a flat result. The Corporate result was the highlight with NPBT was up 20%, while Leisure was better than feared down only 4%. The 3Q26 is off to a strong start and importantly Leisure is back in growth. FY26 guidance was reiterated. We have made minor upgrades to our forecasts. FLT's fundamentals remain attractive (FY27 PE of 10.6x) and we retain a Buy recommendation with a new A$18.05 price target.

As for income, the broker is forecasting fully franked dividends of 47 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 54 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $11.40, this would mean dividend yields of 4.1% and 4.7%, respectively.

Iress Ltd (ASX: IRE)

Another ASX dividend share that Morgans is positive on is financial technology company Iress. The broker recently upgraded its shares to a buy rating with a $10.95 price target. It said:

IRE delivered a solid FY25 result with underlying EBITDA of A$136.2m, +4.7% ahead of our estimate, and the group's FY25 guidance range. Divisionally each segment delivered solid EBITDA growth half on half, with APAC Wealth up +24.5%, UK Wealth +46%, and GTMD +8.6%. FY26 Cash EBITDA guidance (underlying EBITDA less capex) was provided at A$116-126m (representing 15-26% growth YoY).

IRE flagged that capex for FY26 will remain in line with FY25, which implies further operating leverage is expected. We upgrade our underlying EBITDA forecasts by +5-6%, which sees our price target increase to $10.95 from $10.50. With over 50% implied TSR, we move to a BUY rating from ACCUMULATE.

With respect to income, the broker is forecasting dividends of 28 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 33 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on the current Iress share price of $6.90, this would mean dividend yields of 4.1% and 4.8%, respectively.
