The Accent Group Ltd (ASX: AX1) share price has slipped in recent months and now trades around 91.5 cents. For income-focused investors, this drop has made the stock far more attractive, especially given the company’s ability to maintain a strong dividend profile even in a challenging retail environment.

Accent owns some of the best-known footwear chains in Australia and New Zealand, including Platypus, Hype DC, The Athlete’s Foot, and Glue Store. Although it may not receive the same attention as the larger retailers on the ASX, its dividend track record is one of the more appealing in the mid-cap space.

Why I think Accent is worth a closer look

Accent has proven that it can keep growing even when consumer spending is patchy. In its latest trading update, the company highlighted stronger digital sales, resilient gross margins, and encouraging early signs heading into the key holiday period. These are the kinds of signals I like to see from a retailer when conditions are challenging.

The AGM presentation also made it clear that Accent’s growth strategy remains intact. More stores, more owned brands, and more investment in online infrastructure all help support earnings stability. For income investors, that means continued confidence that dividends can keep flowing.

Accent paid 10 cents per share in fully franked dividends over the last 12 months. At the current share price of 91.5 cents, the trailing dividend yield sits at roughly 10.9%. That is incredibly high for an ASX 200 stock still growing its store network and customer base.

How a $5,000 investment stacks up

At a share price of 91.5 cents, a $5,000 investment in Accent Group would buy around 5,464 shares.

With last year’s fully franked dividend of 10 cents per share, that holding would generate about $546 a year in dividends. Once franking credits are included, the income benefit is even higher.

Of course, dividends can fluctuate, but Accent has a history of paying out a meaningful portion of its profits, and the company continues to invest in the areas of the business that matter most for long-term growth.

Foolish Takeaway

Accent Group is not the most exciting company on the ASX, but it is exactly the type of business I like to own for income. Strong brands, consistent profitability, and a high dividend yield at this share price make it a compelling option for long-term dividend investors.

If Accent continues to do what it has been doing and dividends continue to grow, a $5,000 investment today could yield around $546 in dividend income per year, or roughly $780 when factoring in franking credits. For anyone chasing yield, Accent Group is starting to look very hard to ignore.

The Fortescue Ltd (ASX: FMG) share price is in focus after announcing its plan to acquire the remaining 64% of Alta Copper Corp for C$139 million, offering shareholders a 50% premium to Alta Copper’s recent 30-day VWAP. This strategic move expands Fortescue’s copper portfolio with the large-scale Cañariaco Project in Peru.

What did Fortescue report?

• Binding agreement to acquire 64% of Alta Copper Corp not already owned
• Cash offer of C$1.40 per Alta Copper share, representing a 50% premium to 30-day VWAP
• Total Alta Copper equity value of C$139 million implied
• Alta Copper Board and 12.5% of shareholders have entered support agreements
• Cañariaco Project mineral resource: 1.1 billion tonnes at 0.42% copper equivalent (Measured & Indicated)

What else do investors need to know?

Fortescue’s proposed acquisition aligns with its strategy to expand its presence in critical minerals, notably copper, supporting the company’s long-term diversification. The deal will be completed via a Canadian Plan of Arrangement, needing approval from Alta Copper shareholders and regulatory authorities, with closure expected in Q1 2026.

Alta Copper’s Cañariaco Project in Peru includes substantial copper deposits, and a 2024 preliminary economic assessment indicated strong potential for a long-life operation. Fortescue is leveraging its Latin American experience and technical capability to advance the project once the transaction completes.

What’s next for Fortescue?

Looking ahead, Fortescue plans to carry out additional exploration and drilling at the Cañariaco Project to update mineral resources in line with the JORC Code. The company will use its established approach to community engagement and local partnerships, aiming for sustainable and responsible resource development.

Completion of the transaction would strengthen Fortescue’s copper growth options, with the company targeting to bring its reporting in line with Australian standards within three years.

Fortescue share price snapshot

Over the past 12 months, Fortescue shares have risen 23%, outperforming the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) which has increased 5% over the same period.

Junior biotechnology company Echo IQ Ltd (ASX: EIQ) has lodged a key submission with the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), which will help pave the way for sales of its heart failure detection software.

The artificial intelligence and medical technology company said in a statement to the ASX on Monday that it had lodged a market clearance application for EchoSolv HF, its heart failure clinical decision support software, with the FDA.

Large market awaits

The submission also incorporated results from a clinical validation study conducted specifically to support the application, the company said.

The company went on to say:

The study, designed to validate the model’s ability to detect heart failure on an independent dataset, showed EchoSolv HF met the primary endpoint with study data demonstrating sensitivity of 99.5% and specificity of 91.0% in the detection of heart failure across a dataset of 17,000 echocardiograms from Mayo Clinic Platform.

Echo IQ said the 510k submission was required for medical devices to demonstrate that they are “substantially equivalent” in safety and effectiveness to a legally marketed device.

Once substantial equivalence has been determined and FDA clearance has been issued, the company may market and distribute the device in the United States for the cleared indications for use. FDA clearance, if obtained, would unlock a significant addressable market opportunity for EchoSolv HF in the US healthcare sector, where heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalisation and accounts for 17% of US healthcare expenditure nationally.

FDA decision to come

Echo IQ Chief Executive Officer Dustin Haines said it was a significant milestone for the company.

The lodgement of the submission is a testament to the hard work and disciplined execution of Echo IQ’s operations team alongside our key industry partners including Mayo Clinic. With the submission process complete, we will continue to work with our broad network of industry partners across both product development and distribution, ahead of an expected FDA decision in the coming months. The ongoing advancement of our healthcare technology suite positions the company for another momentum driven year ahead, leveraging our proprietary technology to deliver improved healthcare solutions, and we look forward to updating our investors on key progress initiatives early in the new year.

EchoiQ was valued at $178.8 million at the close of trade on Friday, with its shares last changing hands for 27.5 cents.

The stock has traded as high as 37 cents and as low as 16.5 cents over the past 12 months.

The most appealing ASX growth shares can deliver investors a combination of profit growth and dividends.

I like dividends from ASX growth shares because it’s a way for us to benefit from the actual profits of the business without having to sell shares.

The two businesses below are exciting options, in my opinion.

Australian Ethical Investment Ltd (ASX: AEF)

This business describes itself as one of Australia’s leading ethical investment managers. Since 1986, the company has offered investors investment management products that align with their values and deliver long-term, risk-adjusted returns.

The company states that its investments are guided by the Australian Ethical Charter, which informs its ethical approach and underpins both its culture and vision.

One of the main appealing features of the ASX growth share is that it provides superannuation products to Australians. This is attractive because superannuation money is normally locked in for many years, giving the company a long earnings runway.

Additionally, due to the mandatory and tax-advantaged nature of superannuation contributions, Australian Ethical’s funds under management (FUM) is regularly growing (aside from the volatility from the share market).

In the three months to September 2025, it finished with FUM of $14.28 billion, which benefited from $120 million of FUM inflows related to superannuation, as well as rises in share markets.

The company looks much better value after the Australian Ethical share price’s decline of almost 40% since August, as the chart below shows.

The dividend yield looks much more appealing. In FY25, the business paid a full-year dividend of 14 cents per share (up 56% year over year). That translates into a grossed-up dividend yield of close to 4%, including franking credits.

Lovisa Holdings Ltd (ASX: LOV)

Lovisa is a global retailer of affordable jewellery in numerous countries, including the US, Australia, the UK, South Africa, France, Germany, Spain, New Zealand, Canada, and plenty more.

The ASX growth share is rapidly growing thanks to both its store network expansion and positive like for like sales growth. In the first 20 weeks of FY26, it grew its total sales by 26.2% year over year, with global comparable store sales growth of 3.5%. In the financial year to date, the business added another 44 net new stores as it steadily climbs towards 1,100 global stores.

With the business now in more than 50 markets, it has numerous opportunities to expand its store network, and it can choose the destinations that will add the most profit growth.

Forecasts on CMC Markets suggest that by FY27, the business could grow its earnings per share (EPS) to $1.155, and the dividend could be hiked to $1.05 per share.

At the time of writing, that suggests the Lovisa share price is valued at 26x FY27’s estimated earnings with a potential dividend yield of 3.8%, excluding any potential franking credits.

The Treasury Wine Estates Ltd (ASX: TWE) share price was placed in a trading halt today as the company prepares to release a significant announcement and host an investor update session, which will cover its outlook.

What did Treasury Wine Estates report?

• Treasury Wine Estates requested a trading halt pending a material company update
• Trading halt effective from 15 December 2025 until the earlier of 17 December 2025 or further announcement
• Upcoming investor and analyst call scheduled for 17 December 2025

What else do investors need to know?

The trading halt follows Treasury Wine Estates’ request to the ASX, with the company stating it is in the final stages of preparing a market update that will cover its outlook and future plans. The company has assured investors and the ASX that there is no reason the halt should not be granted.

The trading halt allows Treasury Wine Estates to finalise and disclose information to all investors at the same time, upholding market fairness. Investors and analysts are set to receive an in-depth briefing on 17 December 2025, which should provide clarity on the company’s strategy.

What’s next for Treasury Wine Estates?

The upcoming update from Treasury Wine Estates on 17 December 2025 is expected to provide more detail on its future direction, including the company’s outlook and any changes to its business strategy. Investors will be keenly watching for new information to assist with their investment decisions.

Once the trading halt is lifted and the announcement released, the share price may react as the market digests any new developments or strategic commentary.

Treasury Wine Estates share price snapshot

Over the past 12 months, Treasury Wine Estates shares have declined 53%, trailing the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) which has risen 5% over the same period.

If you have a penchant for ASX 200 growth shares like I do, then keep reading!

That’s because listed below are two shares that analysts are bullish on and believe could be destined for big things in the future. Here’s why they are rated as buys:

Telix Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: TLX)

The first ASX 200 growth share for investors to look at is Telix Pharmaceuticals.

It is a biotechnology company that specialises in radiopharmaceuticals. The company explains that using targeted radiation to combine therapeutic and diagnostic modalities, its technology is designed to deliver focused doses of radiation with precision, regardless of where the cancer or disease is in the body.

Its flagship product is Illuccix, which is already approved by regulators and generating strong sales in the US for prostate cancer imaging. But there is more than just that. The company is advancing a deep pipeline of new radiopharmaceutical candidates targeting kidney, brain, and other cancers.

Each of these has the potential to open multi-billion-dollar global markets, which means Telix has a long growth runway if everything goes to plan and approvals are received.

Bell Potter remains very positive on Telix. It has a buy rating and $23.00 price target on its shares. Based on its current share price, this implies potential upside of approximately 65% for investors over the next 12 months.

Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO)

Another ASX 200 growth share that could be a great option for Aussie investors is Xero.

It is one of the world’s leading providers of cloud-based accounting solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Its easy-to-use platform is growing in popularity with businesses globally, and today serves over 4.6 million subscribers.

While Australia and New Zealand remain core markets, Xero has made big strides in the United Kingdom, North America, and Asia. Its expansion into payments, payroll, and third-party app integrations also creates multiple new revenue streams, making it more than just accounting software.

This expansion was bolstered recently with a game-changing agreement to acquire leading US based bill pay platform provider Melio for US$2.5 billion. The company believes it will help to create a market-leading accounting and payments offering in a market estimated to total 100 million SMEs.

The team at Macquarie remains bullish on the company. It recently put an outperform rating and $204.00 price target on its shares. Based on its current share price, this suggests that there is more than 100% upside between now and this time next year.

The ASX dividend stock Universal Store Holdings Ltd (ASX: UNI) looks to me like one of the most compelling options Aussies can buy for passive income.

It may not get the same level of attention as a name like Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) or BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP), but I think it actually offers far more growth potential than Australia’s largest businesses.

For readers who haven’t heard of this one before, the company says that it owns a portfolio of premium youth fashion brands, with both retail and wholesale businesses.

This includes Universal Store, Perfect Stranger and CTC (trading as THRILLS and Worship). It’s aiming to grow its premium youth fashion apparel brands and retail formats to deliver a “carefully curated selection of on-trend apparel products to target 16-35 year old fashion focused customers.”

Let’s get into why it’s such a great idea to buy right now.

Appealing ASX dividend stock credentials

For me, a key part of the appeal of an ASX dividend stock is a growing dividend. If a payout is growing then it’s not being cut.

Impressively, the business has increased its payout each year since it started paying a dividend to investors in FY21 (which is also the financial year it listed). There are not many businesses that can claim they’ve hiked their payout every year since they listed on the ASX.

The FY25 annual payout translates into a grossed-up dividend yield of 7%, including franking credits. This yield has been unlocked thanks to three key factors: a generous dividend payout ratio, a reasonable price/earnings (P/E) ratio and the recent decline of the Universal Store share price. It’s down 17% since 29 October 2025.

The company’s dividend is projected to increase in the coming years.

Excitingly, Universal Store’s annual dividend per share is forecast to increase to 39.4 cents per share in FY26 and then climb to 44.1 cents per share in FY27. At the time of writing that translates into future grossed-up dividend yields of 7.2% and 8% for FY26 and FY27, respectively, including franking credits.

Is this a good time to invest in Universal Store?

The business is growing strongly with both new stores and strong sales growth at existing stores.

At the latest count, it has 114 physical stores in Australia – it’s expecting to open 11 to 17 new stores in FY26 – the company said it’s maintaining “prudence in new store and renewal leases”.

The ASX dividend stock revealed that in the first quarter of FY26, group direct-to-customer (DTC) sales were up 13.7% year-over-year.

The Universal Store business saw total sales growth of 11.4% and like-for-like sales growth of 7.7%. Perfect Stranger’s total sales grew 40.5% with like-for-like sales growth of 13.9%. CTC total sales grew 14.1%, with like-for-like sales growth of 2.3%. Those like-for-like sales numbers say to me that customers are loving the products on offer.

Overall, I’m expecting the company to deliver ongoing earnings growth thanks to its initiatives and sales progress. According to CMC Markets, it’s trading at 15x FY26’s estimated earnings, which I think is considerably undervalued if it’s able to continue growing total sales in the double-digits for the foreseeable future.

The projections on CMC Markets suggest the business could deliver a grossed-up dividend yield of 6.2% in FY26 and 6.9% in FY27, including franking credits.

The CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL) share price has been one of the worst performers over the past year within the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO). It has dropped by approximately 30% in the last 12 months, as the below chart shows.

The business has lost some investor confidence, with reductions of forecasts of how much profit it could make for the foreseeable future, though the business is trying its best to reduce costs and put its money into compelling healthcare products.

Let’s take a look at what experts think may happen with the CSL share price over the next year.

Predictions for the CSL share price

A price target is where analysts think the business will trading in a year from now. Of course, a forecast is not necessarily going to play out as expected, but if analysts are very positive on the business, then it could indicate there’s an appealing opportunity staring us in the face.

According to CMC Markets, there are currently nine buy ratings and three hold ratings on the business. That’s a large number of positive ratings on the ASX healthcare share compared to most other ASX blue-chip shares.

CMC Markets has also collated the price targets for the CSL share price. A price target is where the analyst thinks the share price will be in 12 months from now.

According to CMC Markets, of the recent analyst views on the business, there is an average price target of $245.55. That implies a possible rise of 33% over the next year, which would very likely be a market-beating return, if it reached the price target.

That’s just the average price target for CSL. The highest price target for the CSL share price is $284.43, which suggests the ASX healthcare share could rise by around 50% from where it is today.

Even the lowest price target of $195.55 looks somewhat promising for the CSL share price, implying a rise of 6%.

Analysts seem to have a unanimous view that the business is undervalued.

Valuation

One of the brokers that likes CSL is UBS. The broker forecasts that CSL could generate US$3.46 billion of net profit in FY26, or US$7.13 in earnings per share (EPS) terms.

That means its currently trading at 17x FY26’s estimated earnings. The price/earnings (P/E) ratio is a lot cheaper than it has traded at over the last several years. Time will tell how undervalued the business is.

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

But which ASX dividend shares could be buys for investors this week?

Listed below are three that analysts are tipping as buys for income investors:

Cedar Woods Properties Limited (ASX: CWP)

The first ASX dividend share that could be a buy is Cedar Woods.

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

The team at Bell Potter is positive on Cedar Woods. This is due to Cedar Woods being well-positioned to benefit from Australia’s chronic housing shortage.

It is expecting 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 $8.08, this equates to 4.2% and 4.7% dividend yields, respectively.

Bell Potter has a buy rating and $9.70 price target on its shares.

HomeCo Daily Needs REIT (ASX: HDN)

Another property company that is highly rated by analysts is the HomeCo Daily Needs REIT.

It is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that focuses on convenience-based assets. This includes supermarkets, pharmacies, and medical clinics. The type of assets that tend to have stable tenants and long leases.

UBS is positive on the company. It believes it will reward shareholders with dividends of 8.6 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 8.7 cents per share FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $1.39, this would mean dividend yields of 6.2% and 6.3%, respectively.

The broker currently has a buy rating and $1.53 price target on its shares.

Jumbo Interactive Ltd (ASX: JIN)

A third ASX dividend share that gets the thumbs up from analysts is Jumbo Interactive.

It is an online lottery ticket seller and lottery platform provider, best known for its Oz Lotteries app and Powered by Jumbo platform.

The team at Morgan Stanley believes it is positioned to reward shareholders with fully franked dividends of 57.7 cents per share in FY 2026 and then 68.4 cents per share in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $11.23, this would mean dividend yields of 5.1% and 6.1%, respectively.

The broker currently has an overweight rating and $16.80 price target on its shares.
