KBW analyst Ryan Krueger maintains $Aflac Inc (AFL.US)$ with a hold rating, and adjusts the target price from $87 to $108.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 77.1% and a total average return of 16.1% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Aflac Inc (AFL.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Following the company's investor day presentation, it was noted that Aflac's margin guidance for both the U.S. and Japan was weaker than anticipated, contributing to a decline in share value by approximately 4%. Although some aspects of the guidance exceeded expectations, the overall update generally lowered investor expectations.
Aflac's recent investor day shed light on the company's overall strategy, focusing on sales initiatives in the U.S. and Japan, as well as outlooks on capital and margins. The financial forecast presented was somewhat below the company's current performance, which influenced the stock's downturn.
The conservative outlook provided by Aflac for the years 2025 to 2027 may be attributed to the company not factoring in any favorable reserving developments, which are nonetheless anticipated to persist. The expected weaker margin performance in the U.S. could be largely influenced by shifts in product mix, likely impacting the results. Additionally, a slightly less robust net interest income forecast for 2025 poses another challenge. The strong position of Aflac's capital and reserves is seen as providing considerable flexibility, potentially fortifying the company in face of tougher market conditions.

KBW分析師Ryan Krueger維持$美國家庭壽險 (AFL.US)$持有評級，並將目標價從87美元上調至108美元。
根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為77.1%，總平均回報率為16.1%。
此外，綜合報道，$美國家庭壽險 (AFL.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
在公司的投資者日發佈會上，指出Aflac在美國和日本的利潤指導低於預期，導致股價下跌約4%。儘管一些方面的指導超出了預期，但整體更新普遍降低了投資者的期望。
Aflac最近的投資者日闡明瞭公司的整體策略，重點關注在美國和日本的銷售計劃，以及對資本和利潤的展望。財務預測略低於公司的當前表現，這影響了股票的下跌。
Aflac對2025至2027年的保守展望可能是由於公司沒有考慮任何有利的準備金發展，儘管這些發展預期將持續。美國的利潤表現預期較弱可能主要受產品組合變化的影響，這可能會影響業績。此外，2025年淨利息收入預測略顯疲軟也是另一個挑戰。Aflac的資本和準備金的強大地位被視爲提供了相當大的靈活性，可能在面對更嚴峻的市場環境時增強公司的抗壓能力。
