Aflac's board declared a first-quarter 2027 dividend of 0.64 US dollars per share on Thursday, November 12, 2026. The payment is scheduled for March 1, 2027, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 17, according to the Aflac newsroom.

The distribution is 4.9 percent higher than the previously declared fourth-quarter 2026 dividend. The decision extends Aflac's record of 44 consecutive years of dividend increases and reinforces the insurer's focus on recurring shareholder returns.

Capital remains central to returns

Chief Executive Officer Daniel P. Amos said the dividend record is supported by the company's capital and cash flows. He also emphasized maintaining strong capital ratios for policyholders while balancing financial strength with tactical capital deployment.

The announcement adds a fresh capital-return signal after Aflac's mixed third-quarter results. Earlier reports highlighted stronger U.S. insurance profitability alongside weaker Japan trends and investment-related pressure on reported earnings.
