Aflac Board Declares $0.64 First-Quarter 2027 Dividend, a 4.9% Increase

Aflac Incorporated's board declared a first-quarter 2027 dividend of $0.64 per share, a 4.9% increase over the fourth-quarter 2026 payout, payable March 1, 2027, to shareholders of record on February 17, 2027. PR Newswire carried the announcement on November 12, 2026.

Inside Aflac's $0.64 Quarterly Payout

Aflac is a supplemental insurer selling accident, cancer, critical illness, dental, hospital, life, disability and pet coverage in the United States and Japan, largely through independent agents and employer payroll deduction. The company was founded in 1955 and is headquartered in Columbus, Georgia.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Daniel P. Amos said the board's action extends a long record. "We treasure our record of 44 consecutive years of dividend increases, and our dividend track record is supported by the strength of our capital and cash flows," he said.

Amos also described how the insurer weighs policyholder obligations against shareholder returns. "We remain committed to maintaining strong capital ratios on behalf of our policyholders and balance this financial strength with tactical capital deployment," he said.

The record date of February 17, 2027, and the payment date of March 1, 2027, apply to the newly declared $0.64 per-share amount.

Aflac's Revenue Base Behind the Payout

Company records show Aflac's scale, according to akta.pro company records: first-quarter 2026 total revenues of $4.3 billion, a 27.9% increase year over year, and fourth-quarter 2025 revenue of $4.28 billion, down 9.6% year over year. The same records list a revenue estimate above $5 billion and a headcount range of more than 10,000 employees.

Leadership Changes Preceding the Dividend

Aflac announced leadership transitions for its Japan and U.S. subsidiaries effective January 1, 2027, PR Newswire reported on November 2, 2026, with Shinsuke Morimoto becoming President of Aflac Japan and Frederic Simard becoming President of Aflac U.S. Insurance Business America reported the same day that Simard will move from his roles as CFO and COO into the U.S. president post. On November 5, 2026, Insurance Business America reported that Aflac's U.S. supplemental health benefit ratio fell 490 basis points to 40.7% in the third quarter of 2026, driven by a $453 million reserve remeasurement gain rather than claims recovery.
