Yahoo Finance Three ASX Dividend Stocks Offering Yields From 3.2% To 8.6%
The Australian stock market has shown a mix of performances recently, with the ASX200 closing up by 0.63%, driven by strong gains in the energy and materials sectors. However, sectors such as healthcare have not fared as well, indicating a varied economic landscape across different industries.

IGO
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: IGO Limited is an Australian exploration and mining company specializing in metals critical for clean energy, with a market capitalization of approximately A$6.08 billion.
Operations: IGO Limited generates revenue primarily through its Nova Operation and Forrestania Operation, which collectively contributed A$903.4 million to the company's earnings.
Dividend Yield: 6.8%
IGO Limited's recent financial performance shows a decline, with sales dropping from A$541.7 million to A$438.2 million and net income falling from A$612.3 million to A$288.3 million in the last half year. Despite this, the company maintains a dividend yield of 6.84%, which is high compared to the market average but is poorly supported by earnings, given a payout ratio of 185%. While cash flows cover dividends reasonably well with a cash payout ratio of 39.7%, IGO's dividend history has been volatile over the past decade, reflecting inconsistency in payments despite an overall increase in dividend amounts during this period.
Macquarie Group
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Macquarie Group Limited is a global provider of diversified financial services, operating across Australia, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific with a market capitalization of approximately A$70.86 billion.
Operations: Macquarie Group Limited generates its revenue from several key operations, including Macquarie Capital at A$2.61 billion, Macquarie Asset Management at A$3.75 billion, Banking and Financial Services at A$3.21 billion, and Commodities and Global Markets at A$6.32 billion.
Dividend Yield: 3.3%
Macquarie Group's dividend yield stands at 3.3%, which is modest compared to Australia's top dividend payers. Despite a decade of increasing dividends, the payments have been volatile, showing inconsistency. Currently, dividends are well-covered by earnings with a payout ratio of 69.8%, and forecasts suggest this will improve slightly to 63% in three years. However, concerns arise from Macquarie's low allowance for bad loans at 44% and a significant portion of liabilities funded through higher-risk external borrowing.
New Hope
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: New Hope Corporation Limited, with a market cap of A$4.18 billion, is engaged in the exploration, development, production, and processing of coal and oil and gas properties.
Operations: New Hope Corporation Limited generates A$1.88 billion from its Coal Mining NSW segment and A$48.15 million from its Coal Mining QLD segment, including Treasury and Investments.
Dividend Yield: 8.7%
New Hope Corporation Limited's recent financials show a significant drop in net income and revenue, with the latest figures at A$251.67 million and A$862.95 million respectively, down from the previous year. Despite this downturn, the company maintains a high dividend yield of 8.69%, placing it among the top 25% of Australian dividend payers. However, its dividends have been marked by volatility over the past decade and are currently not well-supported by cash flows, with a high cash payout ratio of 90.2%.
