When the Australian share market is volatile, it makes sense that investors turn their attention to ASX income stocks.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) has climbed 1% higher in Tuesday afternoon trade, but the index is still down 7% over the past month.
The index-wide sell-off means some ASX income stocks are now trading at very attractive prices.
Here are three of them.

GQG Partners Inc (ASX: GQG)
GQG Partners' shares are up 3.9% at the time of writing, to $1.74 a piece. For the year-to-date the shares are down 0.85% and they're down nearly 18% over the past year.
The company posted strong FY25 earnings results in mid-February and a total funds under management (FUM) of US$172.9 billion for the month, up from US$165.7 billion in January, thanks to strong investment performance.
But it looks like investors were concerned about the company's net outflows. While the total FUM increased during February, GQG continues to face consecutive months of net outflows.
But investors view the latest FUM growth update as a potential turning point for the company, with some expecting the FUM to keep increasing each month from here.
Analysts rate the stock as a buy and tip a potential 16.7% upside to $1.96 at the time of writing.
Dexus (ASX: DXS)
Dexus shares are also trading in the green on Tuesday afternoon. At the time of writing, the share price is up 0.2% to $5.93 a piece. For the year-to-date the shares are down nearly 15%, and they're 16% below where they were this time last year.
The ASX income stock's share price has tumbled off the back of concerns about Australia's interest rate direction, high borrowing costs, and investor uncertainty.
But the real estate stock is diverse with a steady and reliable income. And it's this diversity and reliable income that enable Dexus to pay a reliable dividend to its investors.
Analysts tip an average upside of 24% to $7.33 per share.
Endeavour Group (ASX: EDV)
Endeavour Group shares have tumbled 0.5% to $3.30 a piece, at the time of writing.
The alcoholic beverages retailer, hotel operator, and poker machines operator's share have been smashed by a pickup in inflation woes, market volatility and tighter spending during March. The shares are now down 18.5% over the past month alone and 14% lower over the past year.
The ASX income stock is at the beginning of a strategy reset which could help boost its bottom line. At the moment, the company generates a solid cash flow and pays a regular dividend.
Analysts tip a potential 12% upside to $3.70 at the time of writing.
