What Are Wall Street Analysts' Target Price for Aflac Stock?
Columbus, Georgia-based Aflac Incorporated (AFL) operates as a holding company, offering supplemental health insurance and life insurance through its subsidiaries. With a market cap of $55.4 billion, Aflac sells its products through individual brokers, corporates, corporate agencies, banks, etc., and operates through Aflac Japan and Aflac U.S. segments. The insurance giant has underperformed the broader market over the past year. AFL stock has gained a modest 2.6% over the past 52 weeks and a marginal 8 bps in 2025, substantially lagging behind the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 20.1% surge over the past 52 weeks and 8.6% gains in 2025.

Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Zooming in further, Aflac has also underperformed the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLF) 22.8% gains over the past year and 7.3% returns on a YTD basis. Aflac's stock prices gained 3.4% in the trading session following the release of its better-than-expected Q2 results on Aug. 5. During the quarter, Aflac observed a net investment loss of $421 million, compared to $696 million net investment gains reported in the year-ago quarter. This led to a 19% year-over-year drop in its overall revenues to $4.2 billion. However, this figure surpassed the Street's expectations by 2.3%. Meanwhile, the company experienced a notable improvement in non-GAAP margin, which curtailed the drop in earnings. Its adjusted EPS dipped 2.7% year-over-year to $1.78 and exceeded consensus estimates by 4.1%. For the full fiscal 2025, ending in December, analysts expect AFL to deliver an adjusted EPS of $6.81, down 5.6% year-over-year. The company has a mixed earnings surprise history. While it surpassed the Street's bottom-line estimates twice over the past four quarters, it missed the estimates on two other occasions. The stock has a consensus 'Hold' rating overall. Of the 16 analysts covering the stock, opinions include two 'Strong Buys,' one 'Moderate Buy,' 10 'Holds,' and three 'Strong Sells.' This configuration has remained stable in recent months. On Aug. 6, UBS analyst Brian Meredith maintained a 'Neutral' rating on AFL, but lowered the price target from $114 to $111. Aflac's mean price target of $106.21 represents a 2.6% premium to current price levels. Meanwhile, the Street-high target of $124 suggests a 19.8% upside potential.

Stock markets mostly up at start of key week for trade, US data
Equity markets mostly rose Monday as investors eyed a week dominated by speculation about US inflation data and a prolonged pause for Washington's tariffs on China. Observers expect Donald Trump to announce an extension of a trade war truce reached with China last month, ahead of a 90-day deadline set for Tuesday. Meanwhile, a key US consumer price index report is set up for Tuesday and could shape future policy decisions by the Federal Reserve, which has come under increasing pressure from the president to cut rates. Investors have ramped up their bets on the central bank lowering borrowing costs at its next meeting in September following a series of reports -- particularly on jobs -- indicating the world's number one economy was slowing. Also in view is a high-stakes summit between Trump and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska, which could pave the way for a deal to resolve the Ukraine war that involves an easing of tough sanctions on Moscow. The prospect of a breakthrough at the meeting added to downward pressure on oil prices, which was already falling on the back of economy worries and a bump in output from OPEC and other key producers. Stocks in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Sydney, Wellington, Taipei, Mumbai and Jakarta rose, though there were losses in Seoul, Singapore and Manila. Tokyo was closed for a public holiday. London advanced in the morning but Paris and Frankfurt edged down. With Tuesday's US-China tariff truce deadline looming, investors are bullish about the prospects of another extension. "The market has fully subscribed to the high probability of the tariff truce being rolled over for another 90 days," said Chris Weston of Pepperstone. "As such, unless diplomatic talks fully break down, news of extension shouldn't move markets too intently," he added. Gold futures edged down after hitting a record high Friday, following reports of an unexpected tariff on the precious metal. Despite protracted uncertainty about trade, investors remain optimistic about artificial intelligence -- an area of fierce competition between Beijing and Washington. Reports Monday said that US chip giants Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) had agreed to pay Washington 15 percent of their revenue from selling AI chips to China. Investors are betting that AI will transform the global economy, and last month Nvidia -- the world's leading semiconductor producer -- became the first company ever to hit $4 trillion in market value. - Key figures at 0810 GMT - Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: UP 0.2 percent at 24,906.81 (close) Shanghai - Composite: UP 0.3 percent at 3,647.55 (close) London - FTSE 100: UP 0.2 percent at 9,113.29 Tokyo - Nikkei 225: Closed for a holiday Pound/dollar: UP at $1.3454 from $1.3451 on Friday Euro/dollar: UP at $1.1648 from $1.1643 Dollar/yen: DOWN at 147.38 yen from 147.79 yen Euro/pound: UP at 86.58 pence from 86.54 pence West Texas Intermediate: DOWN 1.1 percent at $63.20 per barrel Brent North Sea Crude: DOWN 0.9 percent at $65.98 per barrel New York - Dow: UP 0.5 percent at 44,175.61 (close) pfc-dan Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
