Premier Investments Limited (ASX: PMV)
Premier Investments is one of the leading ASX 200 shares involved in the retail industry.

The trailing full year dividend of $0.80 per share, translates to a grossed-up dividend yield of 4.2%.

Dicker Data Ltd (ASX: DDR)
Dicker Data claims to be Australia’s leading distributor of IT hardware, software, cloud and internet of things solutions for reseller partners. It helps business clients transition customers through technological change.
The IT business is benefiting in a number of areas, with strong growth since the onset of COVID as more businesses need cloud infrastructure and home office capabilities.
On top of that, the continuing global chip shortage and consequent supply constraints have contributed to an overall improvement in “margin quality”. This is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
Dicker Data is experiencing strong demand with a backlog of orders to fulfil and as supply improves, it’s expecting to meet this demand in the final quarter of 2021.
The ASX 200 dividend share notes that the role of technology in business success continues to proliferate and the evolving hybrid and modern workforce becomes increasingly dependent on more intelligent, faster and collaborate tech solutions.
Cybersecurity is another area that Dicker Data can generate growing earnings from.
