Aflac stock (ISIN US0010551028) was trading at USD 112.88 on the NYSE on October 7, 2026, down 0.66 percent from the prior close of USD 113.63. The company has scheduled its third-quarter 2026 results for November 4, giving investors a defined checkpoint after a mixed second-quarter performance.

November results set the next checkpoint

According to Aflac Investor Relations on September 30, 2026, the insurer will publish its third-quarter results after the market closes on November 4, 2026. A webcast is scheduled for 8:00 a.m. ET on November 5, 2026, creating two linked dates for the next earnings cycle.

The timing matters because the second-quarter figures combined resilient U.S. activity with pressure in Japan. The company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.75, while revenue reached USD 4.12 billion against USD 4.11 billion consensus, according to Investing.com.

EPS missed while revenue edged ahead

The comparison is clear: adjusted EPS missed consensus by USD 0.03, while revenue exceeded the forecast by USD 0.01 billion. The contrast leaves the November release focused on profitability, claims and investment income rather than sales alone.

Yahoo Finance reported that U.S. sales grew 2.6 percent year over year in the second quarter, while Japan sales declined 5.6 percent. Management also cited adjusted return on equity of 16.6 percent excluding foreign currency remeasurement and returned USD 1.3 billion through buybacks and dividends during the quarter.

Analysts see limited upside

The consensus remains Neutral among 15 analysts, with an average 12-month price target of USD 118.73, a high of USD 138 and a low of USD 101, according to Investing.com. The average target lies 5.2 percent above the October 7 price, a modest gap that places greater weight on the next earnings update.

MarketWatch reported on October 6, 2026, that UBS maintained its rating and raised its price target from USD 124 to USD 125. That revision is constructive, but the broader range from USD 101 to USD 138 shows that analysts remain divided on the earnings and investment-income outlook.

Aflac stock remains below its yearly high

Aflac stock was trading at USD 112.88 on the NYSE on October 7, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. ET. Its 52-week range was USD 105.43 to USD 130.22, while its market capitalization was USD 57.5 billion.
