Aflac Incorporated (AFL), headquartered in Columbus, Georgia, provides supplemental health and life insurance products. Valued at $64.8 billion by market cap, the company’s products include accident and disability, cancer expense, short-term disability, sickness and hospital indemnity, hospital intensive care, and fixed-benefit dental plans. The largest provider of supplemental insurance is expected to announce its fiscal third-quarter earnings for 2024 after the market closes on Wednesday, Oct. 30.
Ahead of the event, analysts expect AFL to report a profit of $1.69 per share on a diluted basis, down 8.2% from $1.84 per share in the year-ago quarter. The company beat the consensus estimates in three of the last four quarters while missing the forecast on another occasion.
