Cedar Woods Properties Limited (ASX: CWP)

The team at Bell Potter thinks Cedar Woods could be an ASX dividend share to buy now.

It is one of Australia's leading property companies, owning a high-quality portfolio that is diversified by geography, price point, and product type.

Bell Potter believes that this leaves it well-positioned to be a big winner from Australia's chronic housing shortage.

It also expects this to support fully franked dividends per share of 39 cents in FY 2026 and then 41 cents in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $7.27, this equates to 5.35% and 5.6% dividend yields, respectively.

The broker has a buy rating and $10.20 price target on its shares.

Charter Hall Retail REIT (ASX: CQR)

Another ASX dividend share that analysts are tipping as a buy is Charter Hall Retail REIT.

It is a property company that owns a diversified portfolio of convenience-based retail centres that are anchored by supermarkets, service stations, and essential services.

These assets tend to be highly defensive. That's because shoppers continue to spend on groceries and everyday essentials regardless of economic conditions. In addition, it boasts long leases and high-quality tenants, which provide visibility over rental income.

The team at Citi is positive on the company and has a buy rating and $4.50 price target on its shares.

As for dividends, the broker is forecasting dividends per share of 25.5 cents in FY 2026 and then 26 cents in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $3.86, this would mean dividend yields of 6.75% and 6.7%, respectively.

Premier Investments Ltd (ASX: PMV)

A final ASX dividend share to consider for an income portfolio is Premier Investments.

It is the owner of popular retail brands Smiggle and Peter Alexander, as well as a sizeable stake in appliance manufacturer Breville Group Ltd (ASX: BRG). These assets are consistently generating strong free cash flows, which is usually returned to shareholders in the form of dividends.

Bell Potter is also positive on this one. It expects Premier Investments to pay fully franked dividends of 79.7 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 93.4 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $12.93, this equates to dividend yields of 6.15% and 7.2%, respectively.

The broker currently has a buy rating and $18.00 price target on its shares.
