ASX dividend shares with large dividend yields can pay huge levels of passive income into our bank accounts.

There’s a lot to like about international share market investments such as iShares S&P 500 AUD ETF (ASX: IVV). However, with a dividend yield of around 1%, it’s not a compelling contender for cash payments.

Thankfully, on the ASX there are a number of impressive candidates with huge dividend yields. Despite higher interest rates this year, the following two stocks are expected to provide reliable payments for FY27.

Universal Store Holdings Ltd (ASX: UNI)

This ASX dividend share owns a portfolio of premium youth fashion brands.

Its businesses are Universal Store, Perfect Stranger and CTC (trading as the THRILLS and Worship brands). At the latest count, the company had 123 physical stores in Australia.

Despite generally tougher retail conditions, the company was able to increase group sales by 12.9% in FY26 thanks to 11.5% growth in sales for Universal Store to $313.3 million and Perfect Stranger sales growth of 40.8% to $35.9 million.

The company added five new Universal Store locations during FY26 to reach 88, as well as seven new Perfect Stranger stores to reach 26. It has aspirations to reach 100 or more Universal Store locations and a goal of 60 Perfect Stranger stores.

Universal Store’s profit margins are increasing, demonstrating operating leverage, enabling its profit lines to grow faster than revenue. The FY26 gross profit margin increased 140 basis points to 62.5%, while the underlying net profit grew 16.3% to $40.5 million.

The ASX dividend share hiked its FY26 payout by 11.7% to 43 cents per share. The projection on Commsec suggests the business could slightly increase its payout to 45 cents per share in FY27.

If that projection becomes reality, it’d be a grossed-up dividend yield of 8%, including franking credits, at the time of writing.

Charter Hall Long WALE REIT (ASX: CLW)

The other ASX dividend share I want to highlight is the real estate investment trust (REIT) Charter Hall Long WALE REIT, which owns a diversified portfolio of commercial properties across Australia.

One of the best things about the business is that it has long rental contracts with the REIT. The business currently has a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of around nine years, which means it already has significant rental income locked in for the next decade.

Depending on the specific lease agreement, rental income is growing either in line with inflation or by a fixed rate. I think that’s a key factor in helping support the distribution in FY27. In the coming years, I expect passive income growth to return.

The business expects to pay an annual distribution of 25.5 cents per security in FY27, the same as FY26. That equals a distribution yield of 7.8%.

With a portfolio across service stations, hotels, industrial properties, government-related buildings, food manufacturing and so on, I think it has effectively diversified the risks of being too exposed to one sector.

It seems to be trading at a significant discount to its underlying net tangible assets (NTA). Therefore, I think it’s a good time to invest while the market is negative on REITs.

The Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX: WDS) share price is in focus after the company reported third-quarter results, delivering operating revenue of US$4,281 million (up 2% on Q2 2026) and lifting production by 12% thanks to robust LNG performance and improved portfolio reliability.

What did Woodside Energy report?

• Operating revenue: US$4,281 million, up 2% from the previous quarter
• Production volumes: 46.2 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe), up 12% quarter-on-quarter
• Realised LNG price: US$84/boe, a 27% increase compared to Q2 2026
• Operational reliability: >99% at Sangomar, North West Shelf (NWS) Project LNG, and Pluto LNG
• Capital expenditure: US$722 million, down from US$784 million in Q2 2026
• Dividend: Paid US$1,084 million fully franked dividend in Q3 2026

What else do investors need to know?

Woodside made significant progress on its major growth projects, with the Scarborough Energy Project now 99% complete and on track to deliver first LNG cargo in the fourth quarter of 2026. The Trion Project reached 71% completion and is targeting first oil in 2028, while the Louisiana LNG Project advanced to 32% completion and aims to begin production in 2029.

During the quarter, Woodside agreed to sell its 70% interest in the Calypso Project to bp and wrapped up a strategic review at Beaumont New Ammonia (BNA)—now moving to reduce its investment amid a slower lower-carbon ammonia market. Reliability across key assets remained strong, offsetting some softer liquids pricing and unplanned events, including a short shutdown at BNA and three process safety incidents. Liquidity stood at around US$7.8 billion.

What did Woodside Energy management say?

Woodside CEO Liz Westcott commented:

Amid ongoing volatility in global energy markets, we have remained a reliable supplier to our customers. Increased quarterly operating revenue reflected increased production and strong realised prices. We maintained outstanding reliability across our global portfolio, with reliability of 99.8% at Pluto LNG and 99.3% at the NWS Project in Australia, and 99.2% at Sangomar in Senegal. The Scarborough Energy Project is now 99% complete, and we remain on track for first LNG cargo this year. These actions demonstrate our disciplined approach to portfolio management and capital allocation, with a clear focus on investments that deliver long-term shareholder value.

What’s next for Woodside Energy?

Woodside narrowed its full-year production guidance slightly to 174–181 MMboe, reflecting operational updates across its portfolio. Major project milestones remain on track, with first Scarborough LNG expected by year end and Trion and Louisiana LNG progressing toward targeted start-up dates.

The company continues to focus on cost reduction, portfolio streamlining, and energy transition opportunities. Next up, Woodside will hold its Capital Markets Day in November, where investors can expect more on the company’s long-term strategy and project pipeline.

The Atlas Arteria Group (ASX: ALX) share price is in focus today after the company reported Q3 2026 proportional toll revenue down 0.4% on the prior year, while reported revenue slid 8.9% due to foreign exchange impacts.

What did Atlas Arteria report?

• Q3 2026 proportional toll revenue down 0.4% excluding FX, reported revenue down 8.9%
• APRR (France) traffic fell 3.5%, toll revenue down 1.7%
• Chicago Skyway (US) traffic up 6.4%, toll revenue up 9.6%
• Dulles Greenway (US) traffic up 3.7%, toll revenue up 3.9%
• A79 (France) traffic up 0.7%, toll revenue up 3.4%
• Warnow Tunnel (Germany) traffic up 2.2%, toll revenue up 4.2%

What else do investors need to know?

The French Government has proposed potential changes to transport infrastructure taxes in its draft 2027 Budget Bill. If these increases go ahead, they could significantly raise costs for the APRR Group, with a €210 million estimated impact based on 2025 figures. The final details and timing depend on when the bill is enacted by the French Parliament.

High fuel prices continued to weigh on French light vehicle traffic during the quarter. In contrast, Atlas Arteria’s US and German operations saw solid traffic growth, helped by roadworks diverting vehicles onto its routes and stable macroeconomic conditions.

Toll price increases are planned in both Germany (Warnow Tunnel) from November 2026 and the US (Chicago Skyway) from January 2027, which could support future revenue streams.

What’s next for Atlas Arteria?

Atlas Arteria will update investors once the outcome of the French Budget Bill debate is known, as these tax changes could impact future profitability. The company continues to monitor fuel price movements in France and expects continued growth in the US and Germany, especially as roadworks keep bolstering traffic numbers.

Planned toll increases on key assets are set to take effect in coming months, which may help offset softer performance in France. Atlas Arteria emphasises its ongoing commitment to long-term value through disciplined management and sustainable practices.

Atlas Arteria share price snapshot

Over the past 12 months, Atlas Arteria shares have declined 25%, trailing the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO), which has declined 3% over the same period.
