S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares are only just inside the green at 9,076.8 points, up 0.04%, on Tuesday.

Among the 11 ASX 200 market sectors today, healthcare is screaming higher, up 7.1%.

This follows earnings releases from sector heavyweights CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL), Cochlear Ltd (ASX: COH), and Pro Medicus Ltd (ASX: PME).

Reliance Worldwide Corp Ltd (ASX: RWC) shares are the fastest risers of the ASX 200 today.

The Reliance share price is up 25% to $4.50 after a takeover offer for $4.75 per share.

Meanwhile on The Bull this week, two experts share their views on three ASX 200 shares.

Let’s take a look.

REA Group Ltd (ASX: REA)

The REA share price is $179.56, up 1.2% today and down 31% over 12 months. 

Tom Fairchild from Lazarus Capital Partners has a buy rating on this ASX 200 communications share. 

He said: 

Revenue from core operations of $1.793 billion in full year 2026 was up 7 per cent on the prior corresponding period.

Net profit after tax from core operations of $650 million was up 15 per cent. Earnings per share of $4.93 was up 15 per cent.

The final fully franked dividend of $1.73 was up 25 per cent.

Investors responded positively after the full year result was released on August 6.

But we believe the company still has ample room to improve its performance from here.

Suncorp Group Ltd (ASX: SUN)

The Suncorp share price is $18.46, down 1.3% today and down 14% over 12 months. 

Andrew Wielandt from DP Wealth Advisory has a hold rating on this ASX 200 financial share.

Wielandt said: 

Suncorp provides insurance products and services. Higher interest rates and bond yields can be a tail wind for the company’s investment portfolio.

Gross written premiums of $15.407 billion were up 2.7 per cent in full year 2026 when compared to the prior corresponding period. Cash earnings of $1.042 billion were down from $1.452 billion in 2025.

An on-market share buy-back of up to $250 million is planned for full year 2027.

All insurance companies are challenged by appropriately pricing risk in a rapidly evolving climate change environment.

It remains our long term concern, so we retain a hold recommendation.

Suncorp shares began trading ex-dividend yesterday.

Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX: NST)

The Northern Star Resources share price is $22.45, down 3.2% today and up 23% over 12 months. 

Fairchild has a sell rating on this ASX 200 gold share. 

He said: 

The company announced total gold sales of 1.543 million ounces for full year 2026, which was above revised group guidance of 1.5 million ounces.

NST disappointed investors after downgrading production guidance twice in fiscal year 2026 following weaker than expected operational performance.

The shares have fallen from $31.73 on March 2 to trade at $23.28 on August 13.

The company’s final investment decision regarding the Hemi project is targeted for late fiscal year 2027. 

In our view, other gold companies appeal more at this stage of the cycle.

Northern Star will release its full-year FY26 report on Thursday.

Investors who want to earn an easy passive income should consider ASX dividend shares.

There are several options out there. A blue-chip stock could yield anywhere from around 2%, up to riskier high-yield dividend shares which pay out closer to 8% or 10%. Sometimes they pay even more.

If you have the appetite for risk, high-yield shares could provide much higher returns. But only if you know where to look.

Here are two of my picks when it comes to high-yield ASX dividend shares, and they both pay a yield around 8%.

Atlas Arteria Ltd (ASX: ALX)

Atlas Arteria is a global owner, operator, and developer of toll roads, with a portfolio of five toll roads in France, Germany, and the United States. The company was created out of the reorganisation of Macquarie Infrastructure Group in 2010.

The company’s main asset is a roughly 31% stake in Autoroutes Paris-Rhin-Rhone, or APRR. APRR owns concessions to toll more than 2,300 kilometres of motorways in eastern France, most ending in late 2035. The company also wholly owns the Dulles Greenway toll road in the US state of Virginia.

As a toll road operator, Atlas Arteria is a classically defensive infrastructure asset. People will continue to rely heavily on essential infrastructure regardless of what point of the economic cycle we’re in. 

ASX shares like toll roads are also long-duration assets which have visible cash flows across a long period of time. They’re also more reliant on contract renewals and can benefit from toll road increases. They’re not only reliant on traffic growth.

Atlas Arteria typically pays its shareholders two unfranked dividends a year, in April and October, with payments dating back to 2013.

It most recently paid a 20 cent unfranked final dividend to shareholders in April, which equated to a total 40 cent dividend for the year. At the time of writing, that translates to a dividend yield of around 8.1%.

Beach Energy Ltd (ASX: BPT)

Beach Energy produces oil and natural gas from numerous joint venture projects across Australia and New Zealand. Key projects include its onshore Cooper and Eromanga Basin project, which is recognised as Australia’s most prolific oil and gas-producing basin. The project accounts for a substantial slice of the company’s total production. 

Founded in 1961, Beach Energy has expanded through a long series of mergers and acquisitions. It has ownership interests in strategic oil and gas infrastructure and assets, as well as a suite of exploration permits.

Unlike Atlas Arteria, Beach Energy is considered a more cyclical asset, which means the ASX shares can fluctuate depending on commodity prices and what part of the economic cycle we’re in. But the benefit of a cyclical stock is that they tend to outperform during times of recovery.

Beach Energy typically pays shareholders two fully-franked dividends per year, in March and September, with payments dating back to 2005.

It most recently paid an unfranked interim dividend of 1 cent per share in March and announced a 2 cents per share final dividend earlier this month. At the time of writing, that translates to a dividend yield of around 8%.

S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares are up 0.2% to 9,093 points amid a big day of earnings releases on Tuesday.

Let’s take a look at some new expert ratings.

Wildcat Resources Ltd (ASX: WC8)

The Wildcat Resources share price is 40 cents, down 5.4% today and up 101% over 12 months. 

Arthur Garipoli from Dolphin Partners has a buy rating on this ASX 200 lithium share. 

On The Bull this week, Garipoli explained:

This Western Australian explorer is advancing the Tabba Tabba Lithium-Tantalum project, which is a large-scale, hard rock development in an established mining jurisdiction with low sovereign risk and close to Port Hedland infrastructure.

The recent share price fall may represent a good entry opportunity for investors looking for a recovery in lithium markets and in a company with near term catalysts.

WC8 has completed a pre-feasibility study. A large resource base and an upcoming definitive feasibility study de-risks the company.

In our view, WC8 represents a compelling risk-reward scenario.

Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP)

Centuria Industrial REIT shares are $3.04, down 0.2% today and down 9% over 12 months. 

Bell Potter has a hold rating and $3.35 price target on this ASX real estate investment trust (REIT).

Analyst Andy MacFarlane said:

CIP announced its FY26 result with FFO / share of 18.2c slightly below BPe (-2%) and Visible Alpha consensus (-1%), and at the bottom end of its guidance range.

FY27 guidance provided for FFO / share range of 18.8c – 19.2c (BPe 18.3c; VA consensus 18.7c) and DPS of 17.3c (BPe 16.8c, VA consensus 17.0c).

A solid result for CIP with some plus and minuses, but ultimately the forward earnings outcome to be driven by two leasing campaigns, as it navigates higher CoD which will increase again into FY28 (all else equal) as it explores ways to fund its growth ambitions.

Endeavour Group Ltd (ASX: EDV)

The Endeavour share price is $3.47, down 1.6% today and down 17% over 12 months. 

Garipoli has a sell rating on this ASX 200 consumer staples share. 

He commented on the liquor and hotel operator’s unaudited preliminary results for FY26:

Total group sales of $12.212 billion were up 1.3 per cent on the prior corresponding period. However, total group underlying net profit after tax of $363 million was down from $426 million in full year 2025.

The group expects to recognise after tax significant items, predominately non-cash, of $311 million.

The recent share price recovery since the start of June and August 13 provides an opportunity for investors to cash in some gains.

In our view, better investment opportunities exist elsewhere given recent numbers and high cost of living expenses.
