Hedge funds and Institutional Investors continue to be attracted to Aflac Inc., despite mixed reviews from analyst

Some of the largest players on Wall Street have been increasing their holdings of Aflac Inc. in recent months, proving that Aflac Inc. is a popular investment choice among institutional investors as well as hedge funds. As of the third quarter of last year, Vanguard Group Inc. is now holding 55,153,545 shares of the financial services provider's stock, which is worth $3.1 billion. In addition to that, they have recently acquired additional 352,873 shares. As part of the overall growth in its holdings of Legal & General Group Plc, which have seen an increase of 3.5% in the last quarter compared with the prior quarter, Maj Invest Holding A S has also seen a rise in its stake by approximately 16% from the third quarter.

‍

There is no doubt that Invesco Ltd. has become one of the largest asset management companies in the world with over 150 active investments throughout the world, but Dimensional Fund Advisors LP completed the list by purchasing 69,532 shares worth $277 million in Q3 last year, which is a staggering 62.4% increase in its position in Aflac. In the present scenario, institutional investors and hedge funds own about two-thirds (66.22%) of the total shareholdings of Aflac.

There are various analysts who rate Aflac as either a 'hold' or a 'neutral' as a company; however, these large investment firms still show confidence in the company's growth potential. Trade Algo suggests that its consensus target price is currently $71.75 per share.

‍

It has been reported recently that Aflac's earnings report for the first quarter of this year shows that the company exceeded expectations, delivering earnings per share of $1.29 as compared to the estimated earnings per share of $1.21. This is a huge difference that delighted many shareholders and has likely positively influenced the company's future market prospects.

‍

However, for the insider trading activities that have taken place at AFL yet this year, Director Joseph L.Moskowitz has already sold off his individual shares while still holding a significant block that is nearly twenty thousand shares; Masatoshi Koide also sold his shares earlier this year, resulting in a gain of nearly 34 million dollars. However, insiders have the sole ownership of just 0.97% of the company as a whole, which is still very little.

‍

The stock remains an attractive investment choice on Wall Street despite the mixed assessment it has received from analysts. Aflac Inc. is an insurance company whose financial performance and growth prospects have been impressive to investors in both the U.S. as well as Japan, its most significant market with a revenue share encompassing nearly 90% of the company's total revenue.
