- Friday, May 10, 11:11 AM A basket of 27 stocks drawing at least 10% of their revenue from Japan is up 11% YTD, 600 bps shy of the median gain for a S&P 500 stock, according to Goldman, doing the study as the yen devaluation continues. Insurers make up 3 of the 5 deriving the largest portion of revenue from Japan, with Aflac (AFL) a big underperformer, but Hartford (HIG) and Prudential (PRU) beating S&P gains. 1 Comment [Financials]
- Friday, April 26, 8:52 AM Aflac (AFL) is upgraded to Buy with price target hiked to $65 from $63 at Sterne Agee. The stock gained 2% yesterday following Wednesday night's earnings beat and management indicating it is ready to step up the pace of share repurchases. Comment! [Financials]
- Thursday, April 25, 11:30 AM Aflac (AFL +2.6%) moves sharply higher after Q1 earnings beat estimates and management hints it will accelerate the pace of buybacks (3M shares purchased in Q1 leaves 19.4M authorization remaining). The company expects U.S. sales - which declined in Q1 - to bounce back and retains previous guidance of flat-to-5% sales increase for the year. Management also suggests discomfort with JGBs at such low yields and plans to "be flexible" in terms of asset allocation. (PR) Comment! [Financials, Earnings, On the Move]

- Friday, April 5, 2:56 PM A moderate late-session bounce in the S&P isn't helping many in the insurance sector stuck near the day's lows. Of particular interest is Aflac (AFL -4.1%) as the yen slides and the JGB market encountered a brutal selloff last night. The company presumably has significant exposure to both, but also presumably is hedged? PRU -3.4%, HIG -3.2%, LNC -2.4%. 3 Comments [Financials, On the Move]

- Tuesday, January 15, 9:55 AM Aflac (AFL -1.3%) is downgraded to Hold at Sterne Agee, which says the big weakening in the yen will have a negative impact on profits. Sterne also sees downside risks to profit margins in Japan. Wait for a better buying opportunity, say the analysts. Comment! [Financials]
- Tuesday, November 27, 2012, 3:01 PM Aflac (AFL) is rated a "Buy of the Week" by AAII's Charles Rotblut, who says negative sentiment due to fears about exposure to Europe are overblown (shares have gained 32% in 6 months - give my portfolio some of that negative sentiment). The stock trades at 8.6X earnings vs. the industry median of 10.3X. Comment! [Financials, Quick Ideas]
