Highlights

  • QBE dividend yield climbs above 5-year average
  • Amcor trades near 52-week low with steady dividend
  • Both stocks gain attention among ASX dividend stocks

For investors tracking income-generating opportunities on the ASX200, QBE Insurance Group (ASX:QBE) and Amcor CDI (ASX:AMC) have presented some intriguing signals recently. These two long-established companies not only offer global business operations but are also currently showing dividend yields that stand out among ASX dividend stocks.

QBE Insurance has seen its share price rise by 18.6% since the start of 2025. Founded in the late 1800s as a marine insurer in Townsville, QBE now operates across 27 countries, offering a diversified portfolio in commercial, consumer, reinsurance, and agricultural insurance markets. Interestingly, only 30% of its revenue originates in Australia today, with an equally significant contribution from the US and the rest coming mostly from Europe.

This global spread contributes to a stable revenue base and potentially more consistent dividends. As of now, QBE offers a dividend yield of approximately 3.78%, exceeding its five-year average of 2.84%. Historical data shows the company has steadily grown its dividend payouts, further boosting its profile among income-focused investors.

Amcor, on the other hand, operates in the packaging sector and has its roots tracing back to the 1860s. Today, the company runs over 200 sites across 40 countries, producing flexible and rigid packaging, specialty cartons, and closures. Amcor is also leaning into innovation to address the growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions.

Currently, Amcor’s share price sits just 0.9% above its 52-week low, making it a stock of interest for those watching valuation trends. Despite the price positioning, Amcor offers a dividend yield of around 5.30%, which is well above its five-year average of 4.38%. This suggests that even amid a modest share price environment, the company has maintained a robust dividend policy.

These metrics make both QBE and Amcor relevant considerations within the broader ASX200 landscape, especially for investors prioritizing regular income. While dividend yield is only one component of a company’s financial health, it can offer a quick insight into shareholder returns over time.

For anyone exploring steady-yielding companies within the ASX200, the current performance of QBE and Amcor adds meaningful context to the list of potential ASX dividend stocks worth tracking.
