Aflac stock was trading at USD 113.64 on the NYSE at 3:07 p.m. ET on October 6, 2026, up 1.13 percent from the prior session. The insurer has set November 4, 2026, for its third-quarter results, giving the next report a clear place on the calendar, according to Aflac Incorporated in a September 30, 2026, release.

November 4 sets the next test

The company will publish its third-quarter financial results after the market closes on November 4, 2026. A webcast is scheduled for 8:00 a.m. ET on November 5, 2026, with Chief Executive Officer Daniel P. Amos, Chief Financial Officer Max K. Broden and other executives discussing the figures, the same Aflac Incorporated release said.

The date matters because the latest quarter produced two different earnings narratives. The next report will show whether operating performance can narrow that gap while the company manages exposure to Japan and currency translation.

Two earnings measures diverge

For the second quarter of 2026, net earnings rose 37.7 percent year over year to USD 825 million, helped by lower investment losses, while adjusted earnings fell 7.7 percent to USD 883 million, according to Yahoo Finance in an analysis published September 19, 2026.

The same report said adjusted earnings in the Aflac U.S. segment fell 4.6 percent to USD 370 million, with the margin narrowing to 20.9 percent from 22.5 percent. In Japan, the pretax adjusted margin widened to 34.3 percent from 32.0 percent, but dollar results continued to reflect a weaker yen.

Consensus stays near the quote

MarketBeat reported that 14 analysts covered Aflac with two Strong Buy ratings, two Buy ratings, seven Holds and three Sells. Its consensus was Hold with an average target of USD 116.62, which placed the target 2.6 percent above the October 6 price, according to MarketBeat.

That narrow consensus gap leaves the November report as the next quantitative checkpoint. Investors will have to weigh reported net earnings against adjusted earnings, segment margins and the currency effect rather than relying on one headline profit figure.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Aflac stock was trading at USD 113.64 on October 6, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 57.8 billion and a 52-week range of USD 105.43 to USD 130.22. Trading volume stood at 250,627 shares at 3:07 p.m. ET.
