There were a total of nine positive and three negative days. On two days there was no clear direction. The latest news about the company over the past day or two has also been mostly positive. On the basis of our sentiment analysis, Aflac receives a “Buy” rating. The optimization programs calculated several confirmed trading signals at the same time, with the majority pointing in the “sell” direction. The accumulation of sell signals also leads to a “sell” rating for this criterion. Overall, Aflac received a “Buy” rating from the editorial staff for investor sentiment.
2. Sentiment and Buzz: A long-term view of communication on the Internet also makes an important contribution to the assessment of a share. For the evaluation, we considered both the criterion of discussion intensity, i.e. the frequency of reports, and the rate of change in mood. Aflac showed interesting characteristics in this analysis. The discussion intensity changes greatly as increased activity can be seen. This results in a “buy” estimate. The rate of mood change shows a change for the better. From this, the editorial team in turn derives a “Buy” rating. The bottom line is therefore a “Buy” rating.
