- 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, July 24, 2012, 4:42 PM More on Aflac (AFL): Operating earnings rose 3.9% Y/Y, 3.2% if taking out the effect of the stronger yen. Aflac Japan revenue +9.2%, U.S. revenue +5.2%. Annualized ROE of 13.9%. The company guides towards the lower end of 2012 EPS of $6.45-6.52, thanks to the continued low level of investment yields. Shares -1.7% AH. (PR) Comment! [Financials, Earnings, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 24, 2012, 4:29 PM More on Aflac (AFL): Q1 easily tops estimates on a 21% jump in revenue. Net earnings nearly doubled Y/Y, due primarily derivatives gains stemming from a stronger yen/dollar exchange rate. The company also raises FY12 guidance, now expecting an EPS of around $6.46 - $6.65. The Street is at $6.47 per share. Shares +4.7% AH. Comment! [Financials, Earnings, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 24, 2012, 4:18 PM Aflac (AFL): Q1 EPS of $1.74 beats by $0.09. Revenue of $6.2B (+21.9% Y/Y) inline. Shares +4.6% AH. (PR) 4 Comments [Financials, Earnings, On the Move]
- Monday, January 9, 2012, 11:34 AM Aflac (AFL -3.7%) is cut to Sell from Neutral at UBS with a reduced price target of $34 from $39, citing remaining overexposure to Europe despite de-risking efforts. UBS also flags the potential for decelerating EPS growth at the insurer, in part because the company could slow share buybacks if significant European credit losses materialize. 1 Comment [Financials, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 3:18 PM Life insurers are higher after Financial Stability Oversight Council gave preliminary approval yesterday to criteria that largely clears the non-bank financial companies from being considered systemically important.: Aflac (AFL +5.9%), Ameriprise Financial (AMP +4.4%), Genworth Financial (GNW +5.1%), Hartford Financial (HIG +4.4%) and Lincoln National (LNC +6.6%). 1 Comment [U.S. Economy, Financials, On the Move]
- Friday, September 30, 2011, 12:47 PM In a sharp reversal from yesterday's performance, many U.S. bank stocks are down hard, as bad EU inflation data heightens concerns about eurozone exposure fallout. MS -6.9%. GS -3.8%. BK -3.1%. BAC -2.4%. Insurers aren't faring much better. AIG -3.8%. HIG -3.3%. MET -2.9%. AFL -2.3%. (Euro banks) Comment! [Financials, On the Move]
