Fortunately for income investors, there are plenty of ASX dividend shares to choose from on the local market.
Three that could be top buys according to analysts are listed below. Here’s what they are recommending to clients and the sort of yields you could expect:
IPH Ltd (ASX: IPH)
The first ASX dividend share that could be a buy according to analysts is IPH.
It is an international intellectual property services group with a diverse client base of Fortune Global 500 companies and other multinationals, public sector research organisations, SMEs, and professional services firms.
Morgans is bullish on the company and has a buy rating and $5.39 price target on its shares.
As for income, the broker is forecasting fully franked dividends of 38 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 39 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $3.59, this would mean generous dividend yields of 10.6% and 10.9%, respectively.
Rural Funds Group (ASX: RFF)
Another ASX dividend share that could be a buy is Rural Funds Group.
It is an agricultural real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns farmland and agricultural infrastructure. Its assets include almond orchards, cattle properties, vineyards, and macadamia farms across Australia.
Bell Potter is a fan of the company and has put a buy rating and $2.50 price target on its shares.
Rural Funds has a long history of paying steady distributions to investors and Bell Potter expects this trend to continue. It is forecasting dividends per share of 11.7 cents in FY 2026 and FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $2.04, this would mean dividend yields of 5.7%.
Universal Store Holdings Ltd (ASX: UNI)
A final ASX dividend share to consider buying for its generous yield is Universal Store.
Universal Store is a youth fashion retailer operating across multiple brands. Despite the challenging retail backdrop in recent years, it has continued to generate strong sales and earnings.
The team at Morgans is also positive on this one and sees it as a top pick in the small-cap space.
As a result, it has put a buy rating and $10.60 price target on the company’s shares.
With respect to payouts, Morgans is forecasting fully franked dividends of 41 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 46 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $7.34, this would mean dividend yields of 5.6% and 6.25%, respectively.
