Are you hunting for new ASX shares to buy for your portfolio?

If you are, then it could be worth hearing what analysts at Morgans are saying about the three listed below.

Is the broker bullish or bearish on them? Let’s find out.

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd (ASX: DMP)

This pizza chain operator delivered an underlying profit that was ahead of expectations in FY 2026.

However, Morgans believes the earnings beat was low quality and driven by lower net interest expense and depreciation and amortisation. 

As a result, the broker has retained its hold rating on Domino’s shares with a $20.00 price target. It said:

Underlying NPAT of A$121.6m (+4.0% on the pcp) beat MorgansF A$117.8m and Visible Alpha A$119.4m and finished at the top end of pre-released guidance, but the beat was low quality, with EBIT up 1.0% to A$200.1m and carried by lower D&A (-15.7% on the pcp) and net interest expense. The balance sheet is strong, with net leverage down to 1.86x, free cash flow of A$164.1m and a 32.5cps final dividend (+51.2%) with a 50% payout ratio.

FY27 started soft with -5.8% same-store sales (SSS) for the first 8 weeks. We maintain HOLD and lift our price target to A$20.00 (from A$17.60); we view the reset as necessary, but the recovery is cost led and volume growth needs to return.

Flight Centre Travel Group Ltd (ASX: FLT)

Morgans was disappointed with this travel agent giant’s FY 2026 results, highlighting that its profits were at the lower end of its guidance range and its guidance was underwhelming.

Nevertheless, due to its cheap valuation, the broker has retained its buy rating with a $14.25 price target. It commented:

FLT’s FY26 result came in at the lower end of guidance which is disappointing given its 18 June trading update. Leisure was the key miss for us. Corporate had a strong year (+28% NPBT growth), while Leisure was weak (NPBT -22%) given the Middle East conflict. Outlook comments disappointed with Corporate expected to have a weak 1H27, followed by growth in the 2H27. Pleasingly, Leisure is off to a strong start. 

With one-off costs associated with Productive Operations and World360 Rewards now being placed above the line, we have made minor downgrades to our forecasts. While investors will need to be patient for another six months, FLT’s fundamentals remain attractive (FY27F PE of 11.6x) and we retain a Buy rating with a new A$14.25 price target. When operating conditions ultimately improve, both its earnings and share price will be materially higher.

WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)

This logistics technology company delivered a result that was largely in line with expectations in FY 2026.

In response, the broker has retained its buy rating on WiseTech shares with a price target of $62.50. It said:

WTC’s FY26 result was largely in line with Morgans forecasts (MorgansF), with FY26 revenue of US$1,396m and EBITDA of US$558m coming in towards the lower end of its initial FY26 guidance range. While CargoWise revenue growth of +11% was softer than expected, WTC delivered annualised run-rate savings of ~US$115m in FY26, supporting further margin expansion into FY27. 

FY27 guidance will see revenue growth 2H-weighted, reflecting the timing of growth initiatives, while Underlying EBITDA guidance of US$725-780m implies EBITDA margins tracking back towards 49-51%. Our Underlying EBITDA forecasts are revised by +3%/-2% in FY27-FY28F and we retain our BUY rating with a price target of A$62.50ps (previously A$67.00ps).

When it comes to earning a passive income, ASX dividend shares are at the top of my list.

There are plenty of options available, too. From major Australian blue-chip companies, to defensive stocks, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and energy infrastructure or utility operators, many ASX-listed companies have a long history of paying their shareholders a regular and reliable dividend payment.

Here are two ASX dividend shares I’d buy right now, both of which I believe are positioned to pay attractive passive income for years.

Origin Energy Ltd (ASX: ORG)

Origin is an ASX dividend share favourite of mine.

The leading ASX energy company provides Australian homes and businesses with electricity, natural gas, solar and LPG. 

Given energy is an essential service, the stock is classically defensive. This means its shares are generally resilient to sharemarket volatility, global uncertainty and fluctuating sentiment. After all, people won’t stop powering their homes and businesses because the purse strings have tightened.

Origin’s assets operate under long-term contracts, often with rising income, which gives it another defensive quality.

Its defensive nature makes the company’s shares a great option for passive income, as they can generate substantial cash flows even when energy prices are elevated. 

And this directly benefits its shareholders. 

Origin has historically paid its shareholders every six months, consisting of an interim dividend in March and a final dividend in September.

In the first half of FY26, Origin Energy paid its investors 30 cents per share, fully franked. 

Brokers forecast that the energy business will increase its annual payout to 61 cents in FY26, translating to a forward yield of around 5.05%, including franking credits, at the time of writing.

Betashares Australian Dividend Harvester Fund (ASX: HVST)

The Betshares HVST is another ASX dividend share to consider. HVST is an ASX-listed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that invests in 40 to 60 dividend-paying companies. These are selected from the top 100 largest ASX-listed companies based on their dividend forecasts, franking credits, and expected future gross dividend payments.

The ETF does not track an index; instead, it targets exposure to high-dividend stocks.

The fund is structured to own a dividend-paying share until it trades ex-dividend. At this point, the fund sells the shares and reinvests the proceeds into its next opportunity.

YMAX is mostly weighted into the financial sector, which accounts for 26.9% of its allocation at the time of writing. The materials sector is second, accounting for 10.1% of its allocation.

The fund also invests into diversified metals & mining, consumer discretionary, energy, industrials, real estate, communications, and healthcare sectors. 

HVST ETF pays investors a regular, franked dividend income that is significantly higher than the annual income yield of the broader ASX. 

As of the 31st of July, its 12-month gross distribution (dividend) yield is 7.1%, and the net yield is 5.6%. The franking level is 63.3%. The fund’s annual management fee and costs are 0.72%.

The fund paid out $0.06 per share to investors earlier this month. In fact, the fund has paid around $0.06 per share each month since January 2024.

The company’s secured order book stands at A$1.4 billion, thanks to significant new contract wins, including major SMPE&I packages for Iluka Resources and the Perth Sporting and Entertainment Precinct.

The business continues to expand through early contractor involvement and pre-FEED processes, particularly across the resources, energy, and infrastructure sectors. Civmec also promoted Mark Clay as Executive General Manager, Defence, to drive growth in its defence business—now newly established as a prime contractor to the Commonwealth.

What did Civmec management say?

Chief Executive Officer Patrick Tallon said:

Our FY26 result reflects the strength of our people, our proven execution capability, and the consistent delivery we bring to every project. The establishment of Civmec Defence Industries, together with the expansion of our regional facilities in Port Hedland and Gladstone, has further broadened our capabilities and market reach. With strong contributions across all sectors, we enter FY27 with a substantial order book, strong market demand, and a robust pipeline of opportunities.

What’s next for Civmec?

Civmec is entering FY27 with a sizeable order book and an active tendering pipeline across its key sectors. The business is well positioned to benefit from strong demand, with ongoing projects for major resources and energy clients and growth in public infrastructure and defence.

Management is focused on disciplined growth, pursuing opportunities across resources, energy, infrastructure, and expanding capabilities in defence and shipbuilding. Recent leadership appointments and investment in facilities are expected to support execution and further diversification.
