Aflac Inc.

$AFL is one of those boring dividend companies that has been raising its dividend for the last four decades.

This time they are raising its dividend by a whopping 22%

At 9 times earnings it still looks cheap at these levels

Thanks for putting $AFL on our radar, @emf. YCharts shows me that P/E of 9 side by side with an industry average of 6.7. Any thoughts why Aflac trades for a premium to its peers? I also notice Aflac is at 1.1x book (compare to its 10 year median of 1.5x) so any way you look at it, this company looks cheap historically speaking.
