5 ASX dividend shares to buy with $5,000 this week

For income-focused investors, ASX dividend shares can be a great way to generate passive income while also benefiting from potential capital growth.

With interest rates heading lower, now could be a great time to put your money to work in some of the market's top dividend-paying stocks.

If you've got $5,000 to invest, here are five quality dividend shares that analysts believe could deliver strong income and returns. They are as follows:

Adairs Ltd (ASX: ADH)

First up is Adairs, a leading homewares and furniture retailer with a strong omnichannel presence. It operates under three key brands—Adairs, Mocka, and Focus on Furniture—giving it broad market appeal.

Retail conditions have been challenging, but analysts at Bell Potter see tailwinds ahead, particularly as the company continues refreshing its stores and expanding Focus on Furniture from FY 2026.

The broker is forecasting fully franked dividends of 12 cents in FY 2025 and 13 cents in FY 2026, which equates to dividend yields of 5.4% and 5.9%, respectively.

Bell Potter has a buy rating and $2.65 price target on its shares.

Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP)

Next up is Centuria Industrial REIT, which is Australia's largest domestic pure-play industrial property investment company. This REIT owns a diverse portfolio of high-quality industrial assets in prime locations, with strong tenant demand underpinning its earnings.

The team at Macquarie recently upgraded the stock to outperform rating with a $3.32 price target.

In addition, the broker expects some good yields in the near term. It is forecasting dividends per share of 16.3 cents in FY 2025 and 15.9 cents in FY 2026. Based on its current share price of $2.93, this equates to dividend yields of 5.6% and 5.4%, respectively.

Dicker Data Ltd (ASX: DDR)

A third ASX dividend share to look at for a $5,000 investment is Dicker Data. It is a leading technology distributor, supplying software, hardware, cloud, and cybersecurity solutions across Australia.

UBS is bullish on the stock, highlighting the potential for earnings growth as SME demand recovers.

It expects this to underpin fully franked dividends per share of approximately 49 cents per share forecast in FY 2025 and 53 cents in FY 2026. Based on its current share price of $8.64, this would mean dividend yields of 5.7% and 6.1%, respectively.

UBS currently has a buy rating and $10.20 price target on its shares.

GQG Partners Inc (ASX: GQG)

For those looking for a high-yield play, GQG Partners stands out. It is a global investment manager that Goldman Sachs is tipping as a buy.

In respect to dividends, Goldman is forecasting dividends of approximately 23.7 cents per share in FY 2025 and 26.8 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on its current share price of $2.20, this equates to dividend yields of 10.8% and 12.2%, respectively.

Goldman has a buy rating and $3.20 price target on GQG's shares.

Super Retail Group Ltd (ASX: SUL)

Last but not least is Super Retail, the owner of Supercheap Auto, Rebel, BCF, and Macpac. The company has a loyal customer base, with over 11 million loyalty program members.

Goldman Sachs believes the company is positioned to pay fully franked dividends of 64 cents per share in FY 2025 and 66 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on the current Super Retail share price of $13.77, this would mean yields of 4.6% and 4.8%, respectively.

The broker has a buy rating and $15.50 price target on its shares.
