3 ASX dividend shares to buy with $5,000

Thankfully for income investors, there are a lot of options out there for them to choose from on the Australian share market.

But which ASX dividend shares could be buys for investors with $5,000 to put into the market? Let’s take a look at three that analysts are recommending to clients this month:

Cedar Woods Properties Limited (ASX: CWP)

Cedar Woods could be an ASX dividend share to buy according to Bell Potter.

It is one of Australia’s leading property companies with a portfolio that is diversified by geography, price point, and product type. This includes subdivisions in emerging residential communities, high-density apartments, and townhouses in vibrant inner-city neighbourhoods.

Bell Potter notes that this leaves Cedar Woods well-positioned to be a big winner from Australia’s chronic housing shortage.

The broker expects this to underpin dividends per share of 34 cents in FY 2026 and then 38 cents in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $7.69, this equates to 4.4% and 4.9% dividend yields, respectively.

The broker has a buy rating and $9.70 price target on its shares.

Harvey Norman Holdings (ASX: HVN)

Another ASX dividend share that brokers are positive on is Harvey Norman.

This retail giant is a household name in furniture, electronics, and appliances. It also has one of the largest retail property portfolios in Australia, which provides both stability and an additional layer of asset backing for shareholders.

Bell Potter is positive on the retailer and expects fully franked dividends of 30.9 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 35.3 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $7.24, this would mean dividend yields of 4.25% and 4.9%, respectively.

Its analysts have a buy rating and $8.30 price target on the company’s shares.

Transurban Group (ASX: TCL)

Transurban is a third ASX dividend share that could be a good option for the $5,000 investment.

It is a toll road giant that operates a network of roads across Australia and North America. This includes CityLink in Melbourne, the Eastern Distributor in Sydney, and AirportlinkM7 in Brisbane.

This portfolio of roads has been experiencing growing traffic volumes over the years and this looks set to continue thanks to urbanisation and population growth. And with its pricing linked to inflation, Transurban is well-placed to steadily grow distributions over the long term.

Citi is forecasting dividends per share of 69.5 cents in FY 2026 and then 73.7 cents in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $15.10, this equates to dividend yields of 4.6% and 4.9%, respectively.

Citi currently has a buy rating and $16.10 price target on the ASX dividend stock.
