Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP)

The first ASX 200 dividend stock to look at is Centuria Industrial. It is Australia's largest domestic pure play industrial property investment company.

UBS is a fan of the company and has a buy rating and $3.55 price target on its shares.

As for dividends, the broker is forecasting Centuria Industrial to pay dividends per share of 16 cents in FY 2025 and then 17 cents in FY 2026. Based on the current Centuria Industrial share price of $3.26, this represents dividend yields of 4.9% and 5.2%, respectively.

Inghams Group Ltd (ASX: ING)

Another ASX 200 dividend stock that could be a buy is poultry producer and supplier Inghams.

Morgans remains positive on the company despite last month's disappointing results. The broker likes Inghams due to its leadership position in the poultry market. It has an add rating and $3.66 price target on its shares.

The broker expects this to support the payment of fully franked dividends of 19 cents per share in both FY 2024 and FY 2025. Based on the current Inghams share price of $2.95, this equates to dividend yields of 6.45% for both years.

IPH Ltd (ASX: IPH)

Goldman Sachs thinks that IPH could be an ASX 200 dividend stock to buy this week. It is a leading intellectual property solutions company.

The broker likes IPH due to its defensive earnings and organic growth potential. It has a buy rating and $8.25 price target on its shares.

As for income, it is forecasting fully franked dividends per share of 37 cents in FY 2025 and then 40 cents in FY 2026. Based on the current IPH share price of $5.97, this represents yields of 6.2% and 6.7%, respectively.

Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX: WDS)

Finally, Morgans thinks that Woodside could be an ASX dividend stock to buy.

Its analysts "see now as a good time to add to positions" and have put an add rating and $33.00 price target on its shares.

As for dividends, the broker is forecasting fully franked dividends of $1.93 per share in FY 2024 and $1.61 per share in FY 2025. Based on its current share price of $24.25, this will mean yields of 8% and then 6.6%.
