Aflac earnings up next as data breach clouds Japan outlook By Investing.com

Aflac (NYSE: AFL) is set to report its second-quarter earnings, with investors focused on the impact of a recent data breach at its Japan subsidiary, which is its largest market. Analysts expect diluted earnings per share of $1.77 on $4.11 billion in revenue, representing a sequential decline in revenue and slight year-over-year dips in both metrics. The stock trades above the consensus price target, and management's commentary on the breach's fallout and revenue softness in Japan will be crucial.
