5 high-yield ASX dividend shares paying 6% to 10%

Picking the right ASX dividend share isn’t just about going for the one with the highest yield. Investors need to factor in a stock’s dividend history and the company’s strength and growth projections.

Here are five ASX stable dividend shares I think are a great opportunity for passive-income-seeking investors, all paying yields between 6% and 10%.

APA Group (ASX: APA)

APA is one of the most stable income stocks listed on the ASX. The energy infrastructure business is well-known for paying strong, consistent dividends, with revenue derived from long-term contracted infrastructure assets. The company paid an interim dividend of 27.5 cents in the first half of FY26 and is guiding a full-year dividend of 58 cents per share. Its current dividend yield is 6.23%, partially franked.

Inghams Group Ltd (ASX: ING)

Food producer Inghams is a reasonably stable income stock. As a customer staple company with steady demand, its dividends are linked directly to food prices. And as everyone needs to eat, it’s a business that is relatively defensive. In the first half of FY26, Inghams paid a fully-franked interim dividend of 4 cents per share, down from 11 cents previously. Its yield is pretty high, though, at 9.36%.

Fortescue Ltd (ASX: FMG)

The miner’s stock is historically volatile because it closely tracks changes in iron ore prices. The material’s price is expected to remain relatively stable through 2026, but gradually decline through to 2030 as supply increases. But Fortescue is a low-cost producer, which means it can remain profitable even when prices fall, though its dividends may fluctuate. The ASX dividend stock paid investors 62 cents per share for the first half of FY26. Broker UBS predicts that Fortescue could pay an annual dividend per share of $1.22.  Fortescue’s current dividend yield is 6.23%, fully franked.

New Hope Corporation (ASX: NHC)

The thermal coal miner’s shares have climbed over 21% in the past 12 months as improving coal prices and strong production figures boosted investor confidence. New Hope paid 15 cents per share in October. At current levels, the miner is offering a dividend yield of roughly 6.75%, fully franked. 

Nine Entertainment Co. Holdings Ltd (ASX: NEC)

The media giant underwent a strategic reshape of its business during the first half of FY26. It acquired QMS Media, sold Nine Radio, restructured its NBN and Darwin TV operations, and sold its controlling stake in property platform Domain. The deal allowed Nine to reduce debt, boost its balance sheet, and return roughly $777 million to investors. Nine is due to pay investors an interim dividend of 4.5 cents per share, unfranked, next month. The company is expected to pay 9 cents per share for the full year. Its current dividend yield is 7.54%.
