While interest rates on term deposits have been improving, they still pale in comparison to what is on offer in the share market.
For example, here are three ASX dividend shares that are rated as buys and tipped to offer dividend yields of 4.6% or more.
Here's what they are recommending:
Cedar Woods Properties Limited (ASX: CWP)
The first ASX dividend share that could be a buy according to analysts is Cedar Woods.
It is one of Australia's leading property developers with a portfolio that is diversified by geography, price point, and product type.
Bell Potter remains bullish on the company due to its exposure to Australia's chronic housing shortage.
It is expecting this to underpin dividends per share of 39 cents in FY 2026 and then 41 cents in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $8.55, this equates to 4.6% and 4.8% dividend yields, respectively.
Bell Potter has a buy rating and $10.20 price target on its shares.
HomeCo Daily Needs REIT (ASX: HDN)
Another ASX dividend share that is rated as a buy is the HomeCo Daily Needs REIT.
It is Australia's leading daily needs real estate investment trust (REIT) with total assets of approximately $5.1 billion spanning approximately 2.3 million square metres of land in Australia's leading metropolitan growth corridors of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
Last month it reported its half-year results and revealed occupancy and cash collections above 99%, consistently positive leasing spreads, and comparable NOI growth of 4%.
UBS is positive on the company. It believes it will pay shareholders dividends of 9 cents per share in both FY 2026 and FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $1.24, this would mean dividend yields of 7.25%.
The broker currently has a buy rating and $1.55 price target on its shares.
Regal Partners Ltd (ASX: RPL)
Another ASX dividend share that analysts are tipping as a buy is Regal Partners.
It is a specialist alternative investment manager with funds under management of $20.9 billion across its eight brands. These are Regal Funds Management, PM Capital, Merricks Capital, Taurus Funds Management, Attunga Capital, Kilter Rural, Argyle Group, and Ark Capital Partners.
Morgans is a big fan of the company and believes its strong form has positioned it to reward shareholders with fully franked dividends of 20 cents in FY 2025 and then 21 cents per share in FY 2026.
Based on its current share price of $3.02, this equates to dividend yields of 6.6% and 7%, respectively.
Morgans also sees plenty of upside for its shares over the next 12 months. It has a buy rating and $5.00 price target on them.
