Dividend increase supports shareholder returns

  • Shareholders of record on February 17 are scheduled to receive payment on March 1.
  • The company links its long dividend record to capital and cash-flow strength.

Aflac announced on Thursday, November 12, 2026, that its board had declared a first-quarter 2027 dividend of 0.64 US dollars per share, a 4.9 percent increase over the previously declared fourth-quarter payout. The payment is scheduled for March 1, 2027, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 17, according to the Aflac newsroom.

Capital and cash flow remain central

Chief Executive Officer Daniel P. Amos said the company values its record of 44 consecutive years of dividend increases. He tied the distribution policy to the strength of Aflac's capital and cash flows while emphasizing liquidity, capital management and the need to meet policyholder commitments.

The announcement adds a higher recurring cash distribution to the insurer's recent earnings discussion. Aflac's third-quarter results showed stronger adjusted U.S. insurance earnings alongside pressure from investment portfolio repositioning losses and weaker trends in Japan. The dividend decision therefore keeps capital returns in focus as investors assess operating performance across the two main markets.
