What the numbers say

Aflac is a life & health insurance name in the financials sector. Over the past year it returned +12.5%, against -1.1% over three months and -5.7% over one. It sits just 2.5% above its 200-day average — technically in an uptrend, but without much room. Annualized volatility of 17.2% is moderate by single-stock standards.

Its worst peak-to-trough decline over the year was -10.1%, and it has traded a median $256M a day — the figure that decides whether a position can actually be entered and exited at posted prices. Its daily moves correlate -0.12 with the S&P 500 proxy, so it has been moving substantially on its own.
