A declaration now for a payment in 2027
Aflac Incorporated announced on November 12 that its board declared a first-quarter 2027 dividend of US$0.64 per share. The company says this is 4.9% above the previously declared fourth-quarter 2026 dividend.
The percentage describes the increase in the dividend amount. It is not a dividend-yield figure or a share-price return.
Record date and payment date are different
The dividend is payable on March 1, 2027, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 17, 2027. The record date identifies the holders covered by the declaration; it is not the date of the cash payment.
Match the corporate-action notice
Existing shareholders can compare the declared amount and the two dates with the company's notice and their account's corporate-action information. This announcement concerns the specified quarterly dividend; it does not set out a guaranteed schedule for later quarters.
