Why it matters for the long term
Over 10-20 years, what drives a share up is the growth of its profits (EPS) + reinvested dividends. The P/E tells you whether you are paying a lot or a little for that growth. In short: rising EPS + reasonable P/E + growing dividend = good long-term candidate.

About Aflac Inc.
Aflac sells supplemental insurance, extra policies that pay cash to individuals for things like cancer treatment, accidents, or hospital stays, on top of whatever their main health insurance already covers. The company built two large markets, the United States and Japan, with Japan historically supplying most of its profit. It earns money by collecting premiums from policyholders and investing that pool of cash until claims come due, keeping the difference as profit.
