It was a volatile and barely successful day for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) and many ASX shares this Tuesday.

After yesterday’s strong start to the trading week, investors were far more sober this session, with the ASX 200 starting the day in negative territory and only recovering in the late afternoon. By the time trading wrapped up, the index had advanced a minuscule 0.008% to finish at 8,783.9 points.

This middling day for the ASX came after a mixed start to the American trading week on Wall Street this morning.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) managed to crawl upwards, gaining 0.38%.

However, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) wasn’t so lucky and dropped 0.44%.

Let’s get back to the local markets now and take stock of what the various ASX sectors were doing this Tuesday.

Winners and losers

Despite the market’s flat day, we had plenty of both winners and losers.

Leading the latter were tech stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) was slammed, tanking by 4.37%.

Mining shares weren’t popular either, with the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) plunging 2.03%.

Gold stocks were no safe haven either. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) ended up cratering by 1.26%.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) were a little tamer, though, as you can see from the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ)’s 0.31% dive.

Healthcare shares were our final losers this Tuesday. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) saw its value corrected by 0.1%.

Let’s turn to the winners now. Leading the gains were utilities stocks, with the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) roaring 1.8% higher.

Financial shares had a great day too. The S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) surged 1.39% this session.

Consumer staples stocks also ran hot, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ)’s 1.31% jump.

Energy shares were in demand as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) soared up 1.22% today.

Next, we had consumer discretionary stocks, with the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) enjoying a 0.91% bounce.

Industrial shares were sent higher, too. The S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) finished the day 0.23% ahead of where it started.

Finally, communications stocks got over the line, evidenced by the S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ)’s 0.02% inch higher.

ASX dividend shares are a fantastic way for income-focused investors to earn an easy passive income.

By buying shares in one of these companies, you’re able to reap the benefits of a regular dividend payment, paid out annually, twice per year, or possibly even each month.

And there are several options available depending on what yield you want to earn and the risk appetite of your portfolio.

Here are three great ASX dividend shares that each yield 7%, or even more.

Atlas Arteria Ltd (ASX: ALX)

When it comes to global road toll operators and developers, Transurban Group Ltd (ASX: TCL) is a popular choice, but Atlas Arteria does a very similar thing. And it pays its shareholders a much higher yield, too.

I like toll road operators because they’re generally considered defensive shares, making them a great long-term income investment. 

Atlas Arteria owns, operates, and develops five toll roads in France, Germany, and the United States. The company’s main asset is an estimated 31% stake in Autoroutes Paris-Rhin-Rhone, or APRR, which owns concessions to toll more than 2,300 kilometres of motorways in eastern France. The company also wholly owns the Dulles Greenway toll road in the US state of Virginia.

Atlas Arteria operates essential infrastructure, often under long-term contracts, which means it can usually generate a strong and stable inflation-linked cash flow. 

The company has consistently paid its shareholders 40 cents per unit, unfranked every year – one 20-cent payment in April, and another in October – dating back to 2022. At the time of writing, this translates to a dividend yield of around 10.5%.

Premier Investment Ltd (ASX: PMV)

Premier Investments is an Australian company that owns and operates specialty retail brands, including Peter Alexander, Smiggle, and a stake in Breville Group Ltd (ASX: BRG). The company underwent a major restructure in 2025, merging its apparel brand business into Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR) and distributing stakes to streamline its business into its existing core brands.

In August, the company paid its first dividend to shareholders following the restructure. It paid a 45-cent interim dividend, fully-franked. At the time of writing, that implies a forward dividend yield of 7.2%.

Not only does the ASX dividend company pay its shareholders a decent dividend distribution, but brokers also widely expect the share price to climb a lot higher over the next 12 months. And that means its payout will be higher too.

Market Index data shows that all brokers have a strong buy rating on the shares, and the $16.15 average target price implies an upside of around 30% at the time of writing.

Peet Ltd (ASX: PPC)

Peet develops and markets master-planned residential communities as well as medium-density townhouses and apartments across Australia. The company was founded in 1895 and is among Australia’s largest ASX-listed land developers.

The company is a residential land developer rather than a landlord, which means its income is tied to cyclical property development cycles rather than a predictable, recurring income like Atlas Arteria. But it’s worth noting that cyclical companies often outperform during times of economic recovery.

The company has a long history of paying dividends to its shareholders, dating back to 2005.

In FY26, the company paid a total 13-cent dividend – a 6.5-cent dividend in March, and another 6.5-cent dividend last month, both fully franked – to its shareholders.

At the time of writing, that implies a dividend yield of 8.3%.

ASX shares have fallen into the red in Tuesday lunchtime trade, driven by a sell-off of mining and technology shares, and higher oil and gold prices.

Here are four ASX shares that brokers expect to outperform broader indexes over the next 12 months.

Centaurus Metals Ltd (ASX: CTM)

Centaurus shares have slumped around 6% in Tuesday afternoon trade to 40 cents apiece. The shares have fallen 14% over the past months, and they’re now just over 30% lower year to date.

The ASX shares jumped 5% on Monday after the company confirmed that its offtake agreement with Glencore, announced to the ASX on 16 March 2026, remains binding and effective. In a statement to the ASX, Centaurus said that Glencore has been kept up to date on the progress of the Jaguar Project development and has now confirmed its intention to maintain the binding offtake agreement on the previously announced terms.

On the 2nd of October, Centaurus said it was at an advanced stage of negotiations and final documentation for additional offtake and strategic funding for the Jaguar Nickel Project. 

It looks like investors were thrilled with the update. It’s likely that today’s sell-off is the result of investors taking their gains off the table after a subdued year. At the same time, the ASX nickel shares have suffered continued headwinds from soft sentiment in the nickel sector.

But Market Index data shows that the experts are optimistic that we’ll see a turnaround in the ASX shares this year. All brokers have a strong buy rating. The $1.09 average target price implies a potential 169% upside, at the time of writing.

Light & Wonder Inc (ASX: LNW)

Light & Wonder shares are up around 1% on Tuesday afternoon, trading at $114.56 per share. It’s been a volatile ride for the shares over the past 12 months, and they’ve swung anywhere between $96.79 and $193 a piece. They’re now down 27% year to date and 8% lower than a year ago.

The company has been reshaping its business in recent years, including a focus on its recurring revenue and higher-quality earnings. 

Light & Wonder’s latest second-quarter FY26 earnings results suggest the reshape is starting to translate into revenue. The company posted a 2% increase in revenue and a 26% increase in net income year on year. 

It looks like investors are still wary about whether the company’s earnings can keep improving. But the experts are confident a growth period is coming. Market Index data shows all brokers have a strong buy rating on the shares. The $196.20 average target price implies an upside of around 71%, at the time of writing.

Generation Development Group Ltd (ASX: GDG)

Generation Development Group shares are down around 1% at the time of writing, to $2.70 a piece. The diversified financial services company’s shares have climbed around 4% higher from a two-year low recorded late last week, but they’re still down 54% for the year to date.

There hasn’t been any price-sensitive news out of the company to explain the ongoing decline. The sell-off is most likely the result of a continued broad-based rotation away from financial shares following the latest interest rate increase, higher inflation figures, and sky-high bond yields.

But the company believes that it is well-placed to benefit from strong structural tailwinds from the superannuation, retirement, and managed account markets in FY27. This is due to recent superannuation legislation changes and an aging demographic.

Brokers are bullish too. Market Index shows that all brokers have a strong buy rating on the ASX shares, and the $5.62 average target price implies an upside of around 108% at the time of writing.

CAR Group Ltd (ASX: CAR)

CAR Group shares are up around 0.5% in Tuesday afternoon trade to $22.67 per share. The increase is great news for investors after the company, which runs online global marketplaces for cars, motorcycles, boats, and commercial vehicles, tumbled 25% over the past two months.

The company has been hit by broad market volatility since mid-August. And many investors have also been taking their gains off the table after a strong rally following the company’s FY26 results announcement.

As part of the announcement, CAR Group said it expects 11% to 14% revenue growth and 10% to 13% adjusted EBITDA growth in FY27. It is also planning for high single-digit revenue growth in Australia and double-digit growth in North America, Latin America, and Asia.

Investors still look to be a little reserved about the company’s outlook. But brokers are bullish that the ASX shares could jump higher over the next 12 months. After a strong sell-off, Market Index data shows all brokers have a strong buy rating on the shares. The $34.07 average target price implies an upside of around 50% at the time of writing.
