Aflac Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results and Declares Fourth Quarter Dividend
Aflac Incorporated (NYSE: AFL) reported third-quarter net earnings of $303 million ($0.61 per diluted share), a significant decrease from the $1.6 billion reported in the same period last year. This decline was primarily driven by $1.1 billion in net investment losses, including $842 million from sales and redemptions, as well as realized losses related to strategic portfolio repositioning. Despite the drop in net earnings, adjusted earnings remained relatively resilient at $1.2 billion, a slight decrease of 8.5% year-over-year. The company continues its long-standing commitment to shareholders, declaring a fourth-quarter dividend of $0.61 per share, marking 44 consecutive years of increases. Aflac also returned $1.1 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the quarter.
