Wondering where to invest $3,000 in ASX dividend shares?
Let's take a look at three shares that are forecast to offer attractive dividend yields in the near term and could be worth considering. They are as follows:
Jumbo Interactive is the first ASX dividend share to consider.
The company operates digital lottery platforms, including its Oz Lotteries business, and also provides software and services to lottery operators.
This gives Jumbo a capital-light model. It does not need the heavy infrastructure of many traditional businesses, which can allow a greater share of earnings to be returned to shareholders when trading conditions are supportive.
Its earnings can move around with jackpot activity, as larger prizes tend to drive stronger customer engagement. But the longer-term shift from physical lottery purchases to digital channels remains a useful tailwind.
It is forecast to pay a fully franked 34.5 cents per share dividend in FY 2026. Based on its current share price of $7.19, this would mean a dividend yield of 4.8%.
Another ASX dividend share worth watching is Premier Investments.
It has changed shape in recent times, but it remains an interesting income idea. The company is now centred on Peter Alexander and Smiggle, two retail brands with strong recognition and clear growth strategies.
Peter Alexander has built a powerful position in sleepwear, while Smiggle gives Premier exposure to colourful stationery and school-related products across multiple markets.
Retail conditions can be uneven, but Premier has a long history of rewarding shareholders.
For example, the market is expecting a fully franked 78 cents per share dividend in FY 2026. Based on its current share price of $11.56, this would mean a dividend yield of 6.7%.
A third ASX dividend share to look at is Treasury Wine Estates.
This is the higher-risk idea on the list. Treasury Wine owns a portfolio of wine brands, including Penfolds, and has historically returned cash to shareholders through dividends.
However, the company is going through a difficult period. It suspended its interim dividend after reporting a heavy half-year loss, driven by a large impairment on its US business and weaker conditions in key markets.
That means Treasury Wine is not a straightforward income share today.
The reason it may still be worth watching is recovery potential. If its transformation program improves profitability, debt reduces, and cash flow stabilises, dividends could eventually return.
The market seems to think this will be the case. It is forecasting dividends of 15 cents per share in FY 2027 and then 24 cents per share in FY 2028. Based on its current share price of $4.34, this would mean dividend yields of 3.5% and 5.5%, respectively.
