ANZ Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: ANZ)

The first ASX 200 dividend share to buy according to analysts is ANZ.

Goldman Sachs is a fan of the company due largely to its institutional business. This side of banking continues to perform very positively in the current environment, unlike the highly competitive home lending.

The broker believes that this will underpin fully franked dividends per share of $1.62 in both FY 2024 and FY 2025. Based on the current ANZ share price of $25.54, this will mean dividend yields of 6.3%.

Goldman has a buy rating and a $26.66 price target on its shares.

Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP)

Another ASX 200 dividend share that has been named as a buy is Centuria Industrial.

It is Australia's largest domestic pure-play industrial property investment vehicle with a portfolio of high-quality, fit-for-purpose industrial assets.

UBS is a fan of the company and sees its resilient income profile as attractive in the current environment.

In respect to dividends, the broker is expecting Centuria Industrial to pay dividends per share of 16 cents in FY 2024 and FY 2025. Based on the current Centuria Industrial share price of $3.19, this represents yields of 5% in both years.

UBS has a buy rating and a $3.71 price target on its shares.

Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX: WDS)

Analysts at Goldman Sachs also think that Woodside could be an ASX 200 dividend share to buy.

The broker highlights that its analysts "see long-term value in WDS" at current levels.  They also see some big dividend yields in the coming years.

The broker is forecasting the energy giant to pay fully franked dividends of US$1.20 per share in FY 2023 and US$1.27 per share in FY 2024. Based on the current Woodside share price of $31.57, this equates to 5.7% and 6% dividend yields.

Goldman has a buy rating and a $36.30 price target on Woodside's shares.
