Aflac Looks for More Premium Growth

Every company likes to grow, and U.S. investors know how supplemental-insurance company Aflac (NYSE: AFL) continually seeks to expand with its clever marketing strategies. Yet as successful as Aflac has been in delivering consistently strong performance over the long run, even the insurance industry goes through boom-and-bust cycles, and the insurance giant wants to find as many ways as it can to play a bigger role in the overall industry.

Coming into Thursday's second-quarter financial report, Aflac investors were resigned to a period of flat earnings and declining revenues. Aflac managed to do a little better than that, but the company is still convinced that it needs to work harder in order to make the most of the opportunities it has in front of it.
