S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares fell by almost 3% last week amid soaring oil prices and higher bond yields.

The ASX 200 closed at a 10-week low of 8,741.2 points on Friday.

Here are some fresh stock ratings from the experts.

Corporate Travel Management Ltd (ASX: CTD)

The Corporate Travel Management share price increased 9.33% to $2.46 last week.

Corporate Travel Management resumed trading on 3 September after reporting its audited FY25 and FY26 figures.

The stock was suspended in August last year.

Morgans resumed coverage of this ASX travel share with a buy rating and a 12-month price target of $3.06.

The broker said: 

Material earnings restatements have been made. Following years of overcharging clients, CTD will refund them A$246m by 30 September 2027, supported by its new A$175m debt facility. FY27 guidance will be provided at the AGM.

We forecast earnings to fall materially due to a higher AUD, reduced special project work and higher corporate costs. Earnings growth should resume from FY28 given new management’s strategy.

The acceleration of new client wins in the first two months of FY27 is encouraging.

Given what has gone on, it will take time for confidence to rebuild and risks remain. However, we think CTD is a turnaround story under new leadership with material upside potential if it executes.

Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES)

The Wesfarmers share price fell 6.32% to $72.82 last week.

James Bills from Shaw and Partners has a hold rating on this ASX 200 consumer discretionary share. 

Bills said (courtesy The Bull):

Wesfarmers remains one of Australia’s premier diversified companies. It’s supported by market leading businesses, including Bunnings, Kmart and Officeworks.

The company’s strong balance sheet, disciplined capital allocation and resilient earnings profile continue to underpin shareholder value.

While growth opportunities remain available across several divisions, recent share price levels appear to reflect much of this quality.

Holding Wesfarmers remains appropriate given the company’s strong market position, dependable cash generation and proven ability to create value over the long term.

Fortescue Ltd (ASX: FMG)

The Fortescue share price declined 3.19% to $16.67 last week.

Joshua Baker from RaaS Group has a sell rating on this ASX 200 mining share. 

Baker said: 

The iron ore producer generated revenue of $US16.966 billion in full year 2026, up 9 per cent on the prior corresponding period.

Statutory net profit after tax of $US2.860 billion was down 15 per cent, which included a $US525 million non-cash impairment charge relating to the Iron Bridge project and a $US73 million compensation claim expense.

The final, fully franked dividend of 46 cents a share was down from 60 cents a year ago.

Capital expenditure and investment guidance for full year 2027 is forecast to increase over full year 2026.

The outlook for the iron ore price isn’t as appealing as other commodities.

The share price has fallen from $22.99 on May 14 to $17.22 on September 10.

For retirees, building a portfolio of quality ASX dividend shares could provide a valuable income stream alongside superannuation, while retaining potential for long-term growth.

Super remains a cornerstone of retirement planning, but a diversified basket of dividend-paying companies may give investors greater flexibility and regular cash flow.

Start with dependable income

A successful superannuation portfolio isn’t necessarily about chasing the highest dividend yields. Instead, investors should look for companies with resilient earnings, sustainable payouts and the potential to grow dividends over time.

Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW) is one example. Supermarkets may not be the most exciting businesses, but Australians continue buying groceries and household essentials through different economic conditions.

Diversification is also important. Building a portfolio dominated by banks or miners can create significant exposure to a particular part of the economic cycle.

Add infrastructure income

APA Group (ASX: APA) could provide another source of diversification for the superannuation portfolio.

APA owns and operates energy infrastructure, including gas pipelines and renewable energy assets. That means its revenue is linked more closely to essential infrastructure and contracted arrangements than simply the underlying commodity price.

For an income-focused portfolio, adding businesses with different earnings drivers can help reduce reliance on any single sector.

Look for dividend consistency

There aren’t many ASX companies with a dividend history quite like Sonic Healthcare Ltd (ASX: SHL).

The healthcare giant has paid dividends since 1994 and has increased its payout almost every year since then. The exceptions were 2011 and 2012, when Sonic maintained rather than increased its dividend.

In FY26, Sonic continued its progressive dividend policy, lifting the payout by 1 cent per share to $1.08.

Based on the current share price, that’s a dividend yield of approximately 5.4% before franking credits, or roughly 7% including franking credits.

Of course, a high yield is only attractive if the underlying earnings can support it.

Don’t ignore dividend growth

Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES) is another potential superannuation portfolio candidate.

Its dividend yield isn’t normally among the highest on the ASX. But that’s not necessarily a problem.

Wesfarmers has historically focused on reinvesting in its businesses, improving operations and allocating capital towards growth opportunities. If those investments translate into higher earnings, they could support larger dividends over time.

Foolish takeaway

Generating $50,000 a year requires meaningful capital. For example, a portfolio yielding 5% would need $1 million invested to produce $50,000 in annual income before considering tax, franking credits and changes in dividends.

The key is not simply finding the biggest yields. A diversified superannuation portfolio that combines dependable income, dividend growth, and resilient businesses may offer a more sustainable path to retirement cash flow.

Owning Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX: WDS) shares could be an underrated choice for passive income in the coming years. As one of the largest oil and gas businesses in the Asia Pacific region, the business is able to give useful exposure to energy markets.

Woodside has energy projects around the world, including Australia, Africa and North America.

Given the ongoing situation in the Middle East, I think Woodside is an interesting one to consider in the current environment. The ASX energy share could pay large dividend income in the coming reporting periods, so let’s look at the passive income projections.

Upcoming dividends

Higher energy prices could significantly boost the company’s earnings and dividends.

According to the projection on Commsec, the business could deliver pleasing passive income for the next few financial years. Woodside’s annual dividend per share is forecast to be $1.76 in 2026 – the company’s FY26 finishes in December 2026.

That forecast for the 2026 financial year translates into a grossed-up dividend yield of 7.6%, including franking credits, at the time of writing.

The 2027 financial year payout could be even better. According to the estimate on Commsec, Woodside is projected to pay an annual dividend per share of $2.14 in the 2027 financial year. That would be a grossed-up dividend yield of 9.3%, including franking credits.

Not many businesses inside the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) are projected to pay passive income that large in FY27. It looks like a particularly large dividend yield when compared to the yields of other ASX blue-chip shares of Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) and BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP).

A $4,000 investment in Woodside shares

With a large dividend yield, it’s clear that investors can unlock significant dividend income. We’re going to look at what a $4,000 investment could unlock for investors.

By investing in $4,000 in the ASX energy share today, an investor may be able to buy 121 Woodside shares, which could unlock around $260 dividend cash and $361.91 dividend income overall (including franking credits).

That’s an impressive level of investment income, in my view.

Is this a good time to invest in the ASX energy share?

Analysts have given their view on the business amid the events in the Middle East.

According to CMC Invest, there have been nine analyst ratings on the business within the last three months. The average price target from those experts is $31.34, implying a possible decline of 4% over the next year.

So, while it may provide significant passive income, the experts seem to think it’s fully priced. Therefore, there could be better ASX share opportunities out there to buy.
