Aflac Incorporated announced that its Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 100 million additional shares of its common stock. This new authorization is in addition to the 30.9 million shares remaining under a previous authorization as of June 30, 2025.
This brings the total number of shares available for repurchase to approximately 130.9 million. The company anticipates conducting these repurchases from time to time through open market or negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions.
This significant increase in the share repurchase program demonstrates Aflac's strong capital position and its commitment to returning value to shareholders. Such a move can enhance earnings per share and signal management's confidence in the company's future financial performance.
