  • Two ASX Shares Offering Dividend Yields Above 10%
    May 28, 2026, 7:06 PM EDT. Two ASX-listed companies currently offer dividend yields above 10%, exceeding the long-term average market return. Centuria Office REIT (ASX: COF), a real estate investment trust, yields around 11% due to rental income and lease expansions despite share price declines from work-from-home trends and higher interest rates. Its strong lease portfolio and recent debt refinancing support its outlook. WAM Microcap Ltd (ASX: WMI), a listed investment company focusing on small-cap stocks with growth potential, also delivers high yields, though smaller companies carry more risk. High yields reflect both income potential and risks linked to sustainability of payouts and profit outlooks.
