• 2 ASX passive income ideas I’d use to generate $700 a month in 2027

    Male hands holding Australian dollar banknotes, symbolising dividends.

    There are certain ASX passive income shares that I’ll highlight in this article as excellent ideas for dividends to help generate good payments.

    Some businesses have already provided guidance for the upcoming financial results that show a good dividend yield based on the appealing expectations.

    Below are two of the higher-yielding ideas I like a lot.

    Future Generation Global Ltd (ASX: FGG)

    This idea is a listed investment company (LIC) which is an excellent source of passive income.

    Future Generation Global aims to provide a reliable stream of income, which has regularly increased each year since FY19. For FY26, the business has provided guidance that it will increase its annual dividend per share by 5% to 8.4 cents per share.

    That forecast translates into a forward grossed-up dividend yield of 7.3%, including franking credits, at the time of writing. I’m assuming no dividend growth from the ASX passive income share in FY27 for this article, but I do think there’s likely to be a dividend hike in 2027.

    It pays for those dividends from the investment returns of its portfolio. It’s invested in a portfolio of 15 funds from fund managers focused on international shares. All of those fund managers work for free so that Future Generation Global can donate 1% of its net assets to charities focused on youth mental health.

    There are more than 3,700 underlying shares across different markets and sectors, so it can offer Australians significant diversification.

    Dexus Industria REIT (ASX: DXI)

    This ASX passive income share is a leading real estate investment trust (REIT), in my view, due to the exposure that the portfolio provides.

    It’s invested in a portfolio of industrial real estate across Australian cities. It has a diversified tenant base across the sectors of wholesale trade, construction, manufacturing, retail trade, logistics and more.  

    The business says that it has ‘3%+’ embedded rental growth, with approximately 87% linked to fixed rental increases, with “strong inflation protection”. This can help protect and grow rental earnings amid higher interest rates.

    With a 99% occupancy rate and a five-year weighted average lease expiry (WALE), the business has strong rental characteristics that can help fund good distributions.

    It expects to pay a distribution per unit of 16.6 cents, which translates into a distribution yield of close to 6.9%.

    $700 per month from ASX passive income shares

    Neither of these ASX passive income shares pays dividends monthly, so we’re going to look at this as an annual goal, which can then be divided into monthly income. Receiving $700 per month is equivalent to $8,400 annually.

    Between them, these two names have an average dividend yield of 7.1%. Receiving $8,400 per year at a dividend yield of 7.1% would require a total investment of approximately $118,300.

    By investing in these two ASX passive income shares, along with other names for diversification, I think investors can build a solid level of income.

  • This buy-rated ASX travel stock could deliver a 30% return: Broker

    Smiling woman looking through a plane window.

    Shares in Web Travel Group Ltd (ASX: WEB) have made a strong recovery in recent months but remain more than 10% down over the past 12 months.

    The analysts at UBS believe the recovery is set to continue, however, and they have just upgraded their price target on the company, which I’ll get to shortly.

    Trading update solidly positive

    First, let’s have a look at the company’s recent announcements about how the business is travelling.

    In late August, Web Travel Group upgraded its guidance, now expecting first-half FY27 revenue to be up 14% to 16%, compared to previous guidance of 11% to 15%.

    The company said it also expected its margins to be at least 6.7%, up from 6.5% for the same period last year.

    And on the earnings front, the company expected underlying EBITDA to be $85 to $89 million, up from previous guidance of $80 to $86 million.

    Web Travel Group Chief Executive John Guscic said of the changes:

    The decision to upgrade guidance is due to the increased velocity of bookings and improved margins in trading. The Americas continues to see extremely strong growth. The performance of Europe, MEA and APAC have improved in the second quarter. 1H27 is on track to be the third consecutive 6-month period where TTV margins have improved over the prior corresponding period. The demonstrable operating leverage is a direct result of the optimisation initiatives and investments we made in FY26 that are delivering earlier than expected.

    Shares looking like a good buy at these levels

    UBS said Web Travel Group’s new strategy appeared to be paying off.

    They added:

    In our view, the strategy to further build WEB’s directly contracted hotel inventory (higher margin) is allowing WEB to continue to take share – whilst maintaining healthy net margins. Should the normal seasonal skew unfold, we see a further 5% upside to eanrings per share in FY27. Given 70% of costs are fixed, our analysis suggests WEB has also potentially implemented some cost initiatives. If WEB once again proves it can hold or improve margins at 1H27, we believe this should warrant a re-rate.

    UBS said it was only factoring in $60 million of a potential $90 million in share buybacks into its valuation of the company.

    UBS upgraded its price target on Web Travel Group from $4.60 to $4.85, compared to $3.71 at the time of writing.

    If achieved, this would constitute a 30.7% return.

    Web Travel Group is valued at $1.4 billion. The company is expected to release its first-half results on November 25.

  • Bell Potter says this ASX 200 stock is a buy

    Three people in a corporate office pour over a tablet, ready to invest.

    Now could be the time to buy the ASX 200 stock in this article.

    That’s because the team at Bell Potter has just reaffirmed its buy rating on the stock.

    Which ASX 200 stock?

    The stock that is getting attention from Bell Potter is agricultural chemicals company Nufarm Ltd (ASX: NUF).

    Bell Potter points out that recent peer reporting highlights continued margin recovery and trade flows suggesting a solid level of inventory rebuild ahead of major selling windows. It said: 

    Key highlights from reporting season include: (1) Average reported selling prices were down -2% YoY and volumes were down -2% YoY; and (2) Gross margins (where reported) were up +180bp YoY. Like recent quarters, peer results continue to imply FY26e is a year of margin recover (as lower inventory moves through COGS) more so than top line growth.

    Sector trade flows demonstrated -were down -3% YoY in volume terms and were down -18% YoY in value terms in 3Q26. The YoY change in sell through was stronger than the refill in value terms, implying formulators have not restocked with expensive stock, noting the volatility in China actives in the quarter

    It also highlights that omega-3 oil pricing indicators have been firm. The broker adds:

    Pricing indicators for omega-3 oil have remained firm and at levels consistent with previous peak pricing levels. South American fishoil prices are up +70-180% from Mar’26 levels, with bulk fishoil (the product most comparable to NUF Omega-3 products) last trading at US$4,650-8,250/t.

    Time to buy

    According to the note, Bell Potter has retained its buy rating on the ASX 200 stock with an improved price target of $3.75 (from $3.60).

    Based on its current share price of $3.29, this implies potential upside of 14% for investors over the next 12 months. A 1% dividend yield is also expected over the period.

    Commenting on its buy recommendation, Bell Potter said:

    Our Buy rating is unchanged. Trading trends continue to infer FY26e is a year where improved gross margin (on lower COGS) and cost out are the main driver of profit growth. The[re] is the potential for surprise is omega-3, where Peruvian fishoil stock is in short supply and pricing indicators are reaching levels consistent with previous peaks.

    There are modest EBITDA changes (<-1%) largely reflecting FX mark-to market. Our target price lifts to $3.75ps (prev. $3.60ps) on model roll forward.
