Wells Fargo lowered its Aflac target from USD 122.00 to USD 116.00 on October 12, 2026, while maintaining an equal weight rating, according to MarketBeat. Aflac stock was at EUR 103.80 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026 at 4:32 p.m. CEST.
Second-quarter earnings set the baseline
Investing.com reported that Aflac posted adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.75 in the second quarter of 2026, below USD 1.78 consensus. Revenue reached USD 4.12 billion against USD 4.11 billion expected, giving investors a mixed operating comparison for the period.
The same second-quarter summary said Aflac returned USD 1.292 billion to shareholders through buybacks and dividends and recorded adjusted return on equity of 16.60 percent excluding foreign-exchange effects. Those figures frame the stock's valuation discussion more clearly than the target change alone.
Valuation stays near the insurance group
Aflac's latest USD market capitalization was USD 59.1 billion, with a trailing P/E ratio of 12.51 and a dividend yield of 2.00 percent as of October 13, 2026. Its NYSE quote was USD 116.21 at 10:36 a.m. ET on the same date, while the 52-week range was USD 105.43 to USD 130.22.
For comparison, Prudential Financial carried a P/E ratio of 10.21 and USD 39.4 billion market capitalization, while MetLife carried a P/E ratio of 19.30 and USD 64.7 billion market capitalization. The figures place Aflac between the two peers on earnings valuation and closer to MetLife in size.
Results date sets the next marker
Aflac said on September 30, 2026 that it will release third-quarter results after the market closes on November 4, 2026, followed by a webcast on November 5, 2026. The reporting date gives the USD 116.00 target a near-term company event to measure against.
Price and valuation in view
