Cedar Woods Properties Limited (ASX: CWP)

Bell Potter continues to rate Cedar Woods as an ASX dividend share to buy.

It is one of Australia's leading property developers with a diverse portfolio. This includes subdivisions in emerging residential communities, high-density apartments, and townhouses in inner-city neighbourhoods.

The broker believes the company is well-positioned to benefit from Australia's chronic housing shortage. It expects this to underpin dividends per share of 38 cents in FY 2026 and then 41 cents in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $7.36, this equates to 5.15% and 5.6% dividend yields, respectively.

Bell Potter has a buy rating and $9.65 price target on its shares.

Elders Ltd (ASX: ELD)

Another ASX dividend share that Bell Potter is bullish on is Elders.

It is an agribusiness company that provides rural and livestock services, agricultural inputs, and real estate services to Australia's farming sector.

Bell Potter believes the delivery on its system modernisation plan and backward integration initiatives, as well as the consolidation of Delta Agribusiness, will drive high double-digit earnings per share growth in FY 2026 and FY 2027.

With respect to income, the broker is forecasting fully franked dividends of 39 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 45 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $7.03, this would mean dividend yields of 5.5% and 6.4%, respectively.

Bell Potter has a buy rating and $9.00 price target on its shares.

Rural Funds Group (ASX: RFF)

A final ASX dividend share to consider according to Bell Potter is Rural Funds.

It is a property company that owns agricultural assets such as cattle properties, vineyards, and cropping land. Rural Funds leases these properties to high-quality tenants on long-term agreements with periodic rental increases built in.

Bell Potter is expecting the company to reward its shareholders with 11.7 cents per share dividends in both FY 2026 and FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $2.01, this would mean attractive 5.8% dividend yields.

The broker currently has a buy rating and $2.50 price target on its shares.
