If you are hunting ASX dividend shares to buy for your income portfolio in July, then read on.
That’s because Morgans recently named two that could be among the best to buy right now. Here’s what it is recommending to clients:
Accent Group Ltd (ASX: AX1)
The team at Morgans recently put a buy rating and 85 cents price target on this footwear retailer’s shares.
It made the move after the HypeDC and Platypus owner received an opportunistic takeover offer. It said:
Frasers Group has made an unconditional on-market cash takeover offer for AX1 at $0.65 per share, which represents no premium to the closing share price. We see this offer as opportunistic, given the weakness in the share price over the last 12 months (down 64%), and see scope for Frasers to revise its bid higher. We have made no changes to our forecasts, but have increased our target price to $0.85 (from $0.75) applying a lower discretionary discount. We retain our BUY recommendation.
With respect to dividends, Morgans expects Accent to reward its shareholders with fully franked payouts of 3.8 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 5 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on the current Accent share price of 72 cents, this would mean dividend yields of 5.3% and 6.9%, respectively.
Flight Centre Travel Group Ltd (ASX: FLT)
Morgans thinks that Flight Centre could be an ASX dividend share to snap up.
The broker recently put a buy rating and $14.80 price target on the travel agent’s shares. It said:
Given recent downgrades from other travel industry peers due to the conflict in the Middle East, FLT’s downgrade wasn’t a surprise. Given its balance sheet strength and depressed share price, a new up to A$200m share buyback was announced. We have made only minor changes to our forecasts given FLT’s guidance was broadly in line with our previous forecast.
While a peace agreement and eased travel restrictions are positive, we think 1H27 will still be challenging. We forecast a strong recovery in 2H27. If it wasn’t for this conflict, FLT would have had a great year given its results for the first nine months were strong. We are buyers of FLT because when operating conditions ultimately improve, both its earnings and share price will be materially higher.
As for income, the broker is expecting fully franked dividends of 40 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 48 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $12.06, this represents attractive 3.3% and 4% dividend yields, respectively.
