Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT (ASX: HCW)

The first ASX dividend share that has been named as a buy is Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT.

It is a health and wellness-focused real estate investment trust. The company currently has $1.6 billion of assets under management across 36 properties with 99% occupancy and a weighted average lease expiry of 12 years.

Bell Potter is positive on the company and earlier this week initiated coverage on it with a buy rating and a $1.75 price target. It believes the company has a "significant platform to grow from as the largest listed diversified healthcare REIT."

As for dividends, the broker is forecasting dividends per share of 8 cents in FY 2024 and 8.3 cents in FY 2024. Based on the current Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT unit price of $1.40, this will mean yields of 5.7% and 5.9%, respectively.

Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES)

Another ASX dividend share that has been named as a buy is Wesfarmers.

It is the investment company behind a wide range of high-quality businesses. These include Bunnings, Covalent Lithium, Kmart, Officeworks, Priceline, Target, and WesCEF. It is also very close to completing the acquisition of Silk Laser Australia Ltd (ASX: SLA).

Morgans is a fan of Wesfarmers and believes it could be well-placed to continue its solid performance in the near term thanks to its focus on value.

Its analysts are expecting this to lead to fully franked dividends per share of $1.91 in FY 2024 and $2.18 in FY 2025. Based on the current Wesfarmers share price of $52.88, this will mean yields of 3.6% and 4.1%, respectively.

Morgans has an add rating and a $55.15 price target on Wesfarmers' shares.
