Over the past week, Aflac has seen a decrease of 2.84%, while its performance over the past month shows a decline of 6.51%. In comparison to the S&P 500, which fell by 1.51% today, Aflac's performance indicates a more pronounced downturn.

However, the company reported a significant drop in net sales and operating cash flow, which may be contributing factors to its current stock performance.
