Dicker Data Ltd (ASX: DDR)
The first ASX dividend share to look at is Dicker Data. It is a leading technology hardware, software, and cloud distributor.
It has been growing at a solid rate for a decade and shows no signs of stopping. For example, during the first quarter, the company reported a 50.5% increase in revenue to $673.6 million and a 22.7% lift in profit before tax to $23.8 million.
Last week, the team at Morgan Stanley retained its overweight rating and $16.00 price target on the company's shares.
In addition, the broker reaffirmed its forecast for fully franked dividends per share of 41.4 cents in FY 2022 and 48.5 cents in FY 2023. Based on the current Dicker Data share price of $13.04, this will mean yields of 3.2% and 3.7%, respectively.
Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC)
Another dividend share that could be in the buy zone is Westpac.
The team at Citi are positive on Australia's oldest bank and are forecasting a growing stream of dividends in the coming years.
The broker is currently forecasting fully franked dividend of $1.23 in FY 2022, $1.53 in FY 2023, and then $1.85 in FY 2024. Based on the current Westpac share price of $21.07, if Citi is on the money with these forecasts, it will mean generous yields of 5.8%, 7.25%, and 8.8%, respectively.
But it gets better. The broker sees significant upside for the bank's shares, with its buy rating and $29.00 price target. This price target is almost 40% higher than where Westpac's shares currently trade.
