Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP)

The first ASX 200 dividend stock that could be a top option for income investors is Centuria Industrial.

Centuria Industrial is Australia's largest domestic pure-play industrial REIT. Its portfolio of high-quality industrial assets is situated in urban infill locations throughout Australia and is underpinned by a quality and diverse tenant base

Macquarie is very positive on the company and is expecting it to pay dividends per share of 16 cents in FY 2024 and 16.5 cents in FY 2025. Based on the current Centuria Industrial share price of $2.92, this represents yields of 5.4% and 5.6%, respectively.

The broker has an outperform rating and a $3.41 price target on the company's shares.

Macquarie Group Ltd (ASX: MQG)

Another ASX 200 dividend stock that could be a buy is Macquarie.

The team at Morgans is positive on the investment bank and is likely to see its recent decline to a 52-week low as a buying opportunity. The broker currently has an add rating and a $194.40 price target on its shares.

It likes Macquarie due to its "exposure to long-term structural growth areas such as infrastructure and renewables."

As for dividends, its analysts are expecting partially franked dividends of $5.74 per share in FY 2024 and $6.21 per share in FY 2025. Based on the current Macquarie share price of $163.12, this will mean yields of 3.5% and 3.8%, respectively.
