Is Aflac Incorporated stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Aflac Incorporated stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Aflac Incorporated's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Aflac Incorporated's P/E ratio
Aflac Incorporated's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 12x. In other words, Aflac Incorporated shares trade at around 12x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Aflac Incorporated's PEG ratio
Aflac Incorporated's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.93. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Aflac Incorporated's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Aflac Incorporated share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 29.18% of net profits
Recently Aflac Incorporated has paid out, on average, around 29.18% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.75% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Aflac Incorporated shareholders could enjoy a 1.75% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Aflac Incorporated's case, that would currently equate to about $1.84 per share.
While Aflac Incorporated's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Aflac Incorporated may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Aflac Incorporated's most recent dividend payout was on 1 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 20 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Aflac Incorporated's shares ever split?
Aflac Incorporated's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 18 March 2018 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Aflac Incorporated shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Aflac Incorporated shares which in turn could have impacted Aflac Incorporated's share price.
Aflac Incorporated share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Aflac Incorporated's shares have ranged in value from as little as $73.8278 up to $115.5. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
