    Question

    Aflac's 43-year dividend streak faces JPY currency risk

    Direct answer

    While Aflac's dividend track record is impressive, its concentration in the Japanese market introduces significant currency risk. A strengthening Yen could boost reported earnings in USD, while a weakening Yen would create headwinds for the company's ability to maintain its 43-year streak of dividend increases.
