Buy Westpac and this ASX 200 dividend share: brokers

If you’re looking for ASX 200 dividend shares to buy, then the two listed below could be worth considering. Both have been named as buys by top brokers and tipped to provide investors with attractive yields.

Here’s what you need to know about these ASX 200 dividend shares:

Collins Foods Ltd (ASX: CKF)

The first ASX 200 dividend share that could be worth considering is Collins Foods.

Collins Foods is one of the largest operators of KFC restaurants in Australia and has a growing presence in Europe.

While its performance in 2022 has been disappointing due to inflationary pressures and the significant underperformance of the Taco Bell brand, Morgans believes that investors should be patient and remains positive on the company’s long term outlook.

As a result, it appears to see recent share price weakness as a buying opportunity. The broker has an add rating and $9.50 price target on its shares.

In respect to dividends, Morgans is expecting fully franked dividends of 24 cents per share in FY 2023 and 26 cents per share in FY 2024. Based on the current Collins Foods share price of $7.04, this will mean attractive dividend yields of 3.4% and 3.7%, respectively.

Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC)

Another ASX 200 dividend share that could be a buy is Westpac.

Goldman Sachs is positive on Australia’s oldest bank and has named it as its top option in the banking sector right now. The broker has a conviction buy rating and $27.60 price target on Westpac’s shares.

Goldman is a fan of Westpac due to its positive net interest margin (NIM) trajectory, its cost reduction target, and attractive valuation.

In respect to its NIM, Goldman highlights that “management’s guidance on its FY23 NIM trajectory was better than we had previously anticipated.” This could bode well for its earnings and dividends in the near term.

Speaking of which, the broker is forecasting fully franked dividends of 148.4 cents per share in FY 2023 and 160 cents per share in FY 2024. Based on the current Westpac share price of $23.55, this will mean yields of 6.3% and 6.8%, respectively.
