The ASX dividend stock Charter Hall Long WALE REIT (ASX: CLW) has fallen steeply – it’s down 35% since April 2022 and 22% in the past year. I think this is a great time to look at the real estate investment trust (REIT) at such a cheap price.  

This business has several positives, and I think this period of higher interest rates has created an excellent buying opportunity for brave investors.

It’s invested in a number of areas including service stations, telecommunication exchanges, data centres, government-related buildings (such as Geosciences Australia), hotels/pubs and so on.

When share prices fall, investors get the chance to buy at a better yield. That’s exactly what’s happening here. So, let’s run through why it’s an appealing buy.

Strong dividend yield

One of the most pleasing elements of this business is how it operates with a distribution payout ratio of 100% of its net rental earnings, unlocking a very strong distribution yield for investors.

However, REITs typically have sizeable amounts of debt on their balance sheets as a way to partially fund their commercial property investments. So, it’d be understandable if some names in the sector face lower rental earnings and a lower distribution in FY27.

But, thanks to the resilience of the ASX dividend stock’s operations and compelling rental contract agreements, the business has guided that it will be able to maintain its FY27 annual payout at 25.5 cents per security.

That means the business could pay a distribution yield of 7.25% in FY27.

Pleasing rental growth

One of the reasons why the business has been able to maintain its dividend payout is because it has pleasing rental growth built into its contracts with tenants.

Rental growth is built into the rental contracts, with increases either fixed annually or tied to inflation. With consistent growth, the business can deliver stable, growing payouts over time.

Not only does the business achieve regular rental growth, but its tenants are signed on for a very long time, on average. It currently has a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of around nine years. That means it can offer investors both long-term income visibility and security.  

Very attractive valuation for the ASX dividend stock

Not only is there a good yield, diversification and decent growth on offer, but I think it’s also undervalued.

The business reported that on 30 June 2026, its net tangible assets (NTA) was $4.71 per unit, which was a year-over-year increase of 2.6%. The NTA includes the value of the properties, the loans, cash and all the other tangible assets and liabilities.

That $4.71 valuation per unit is based on the entire property portfolio being independently valued during the financial year. At the time of writing, the ASX dividend stock is valued at 25% discount, so I think it’s a great time to invest.

I think Charter Hall Long WALE REIT is one of the best value stocks around, though it’s not the only one.

Four heavyweight S&P/ASX 50 Index (ASX: XFL) shares have been hammered over the past 12 months, falling between 30% and 60%.

Each ASX 50 share has faced different challenges, but with brokers still seeing substantial upside in several names, investors may be wondering whether the sell-offs have gone too far.

Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO)

The Xero share price has taken a beating, but the business itself continues to grow at a healthy pace. This ASX 50 share delivered FY26 operating revenue of NZ$2.75 billion, up 31%, while annualised monthly recurring revenue jumped 37% to NZ$3.27 billion.

Xero added 506,000 customers during the year, taking its global base to 4.92 million. Management expects another strong year, with FY27 revenue guidance of NZ$3.62 billion to NZ$3.73 billion, implying around 30% growth at the midpoint.

There also appears to be plenty of runway, with Xero previously estimating a total addressable market of around 100 million small and medium-sized businesses.

Brokers remain divided. Citi has a buy rating and $113.60 target, while Morgan Stanley sees $130 and UBS $127. Ord Minnett and Morgans have targets of $110 and $111 respectively. RBC Capital and Jefferies are more cautious, with targets of $85 and $77.

WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)

Few ASX 50 shares have experienced a more dramatic rollercoaster than WiseTech. Its shares have traded as high as $135 and as low as $28.76, representing an almost 80% peak-to-trough decline.

At around $37.57 at the time of writing, the stock remains close to its lows after falling approximately 60% over 12 months.

Yet the underlying business continues to grow. WiseTech reported a 46% increase in EBITDA to US$558.4 million for FY26, broadly within its guidance range.

Brokers appear considerably more optimistic than the share price suggests. Macquarie has an outperform rating and $48.20 target, while Citi and UBS have buy ratings with targets of $58.75 and $56 respectively.

Pro Medicus Ltd (ASX: PME)

AI concerns helped hammer this ASX 50 share, but the underlying numbers remain impressive.

Pro Medicus delivered FY26 revenue growth of 22.9% to $261.7 million, while underlying EBIT and NPAT rose 24.4% and 24.1% respectively.

Its Visage imaging software is already used by major healthcare systems across North America, yet management estimates it has captured only around 11% of the US market.

Citi has a buy rating and $225 target, implying around 34% upside. Barrenjoey has a buy recommendation with a $210 target, while JPMorgan is more cautious with a hold rating and $211 target.

REA Group Ltd (ASX: REA)

REA Group has also been under pressure, with this ASX 50 share trading around $168, well below its 52-week high of $242.81.

FY26 revenue increased 7% to $1.79 billion, although net profit fell 19%, partly due to an impairment relating to REA India.

The bigger concern is FY27, with REA warning that new national buy listings could be flat to down by low single digits.

Still, several brokers see value. Morgan Stanley has a $230 target, which points to a 37% upside. This is followed by Ord Minnett at $225 and Morgans at $203. RBC, Jefferies and UBS have targets ranging from $177 to $197.

Macquarie is more cautious at $170, while Bell Potter has a sell rating and $147 target. This suggests a potential loss of 12% at the current share price level.

Passive income can be a good reason to invest in ASX dividend shares.

And fortunately for Aussie investors, there are plenty of options on the local share market.

But which ones could be buys?

Here are three ASX dividend shares that I think could be well suited to investors looking to build passive income.

APA Group (ASX: APA)

APA could be a strong option for passive income. It owns and operates a large portfolio of energy infrastructure assets across Australia, including gas pipelines, processing facilities, storage assets, and electricity transmission infrastructure.

This gives APA a fairly defensive earnings base. Its assets are used to move energy around the country, and a large portion of earnings is supported by long-term contracts and regulated revenue. That can provide a level of visibility that is useful for dividend investors.

APA also has a long history of increasing its distributions over time (around two decades of increases), which adds to the appeal for investors looking to build an income stream that can grow gradually.

In light of this, for investors who want steady income without relying heavily on consumer spending, APA could be worth a closer look.

Transurban Group (ASX: TCL)

Transurban is another ASX dividend share that could be well suited to passive income. It owns and operates toll roads in Australia and North America.

These are valuable infrastructure assets in major cities where congestion is a long-term problem.

That gives Transurban an attractive position. As urban populations grow, more people need to move around cities. Well-located toll roads can help reduce travel times, which supports demand for the company’s roads.

The company also benefits from tolling structures that can provide some protection against inflation. That does not mean traffic volumes will rise every year, but the long-term nature of the assets gives the business a strong income profile.

Its regular dividends could make it a useful option for income investors who want infrastructure exposure alongside passive income.

Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW)

Woolworths is a different type of ASX dividend share. It does not offer the same kind of dividend yield as many infrastructure or property stocks, but it brings defensive earnings and a strong market position.

The company sits at the centre of everyday household spending. Groceries remain a core expense whatever is happening in the economy, which gives Woolworths a more resilient revenue base than many retailers.

The company has faced cost pressures and intense competition, but its position in Australian food retail remains strong and its outlook is positive.

As a result, for investors looking for passive income backed by a large, mature, cash-generating business, Woolworths could be a solid long-term option.
