Dividend Aristocrats have shown mixed 2025 performance, with some delivering double-digit gains and others lagging, but overall stability remains a hallmark. Dividend growth is robust, with 53 of 69 Aristocrats raising payouts in 2025 and an average growth rate of 5.14%, signaling continued income reliability.

Aflac: Best-In-Class Life Insurer Poised To Benefit From A Steepening Yield Curve
Buy Aflac for its high-interest rate sensitivity, superior financial strength, and best-in-class capital return strategy amid a steepening yield curve. Aflac's dominant Japan exposure, iconic brand, low debt/equity, and consistent dividend growth set it apart from peers like MetLife and Prudential. AFL offers a compelling 2.5x risk/reward to a $120 target (vs. $102 stop), supported by historical outperformance and a temporary slowdown in price momentum.

Aflac: Q2 Earnings Indicate Slowing Growth (Rating Downgrade)
I am downgrading AFL to a hold due to slowing revenue and earnings growth and a premium valuation versus peers. AFL's Q2 results showed declining revenue and EPS, with investment losses and Japan segment weakness offsetting US segment growth. Despite a strong balance sheet and impressive dividend growth history, current valuation metrics limit near-term upside potential.
