Insurer Aflac: The New Stock Holding For The Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio

Last Friday, I purchased the cheapest Dividend Champion with a forward P/E of 9.10. The company is acting within the accident and health insurance sector and is named AFLAC. Insurer AFLAC raised its dividends over a period of 30 consecutive years and yields at 2.36 percent. Earnings per share are expected to grow by 5.58 percent for the next year and 6.92 percent for the upcoming five years. That’s a solid value and if it comes true, a P/E below 10 is damn cheap in my view.

The stock suffers a little bit under recent damage claims as well as the low interest environment. I personally don’t have an idea how big the risks of a rising interest rate could be but I believe that they can be managed.

AFLAC is up 13.2 percent this year and gained 40 percent over the recent year. With a beta ratio of 1.89, AFLAC seems like a very risky and volatile stock but if you look at the fundamentals, you can see that it's not true. Also the debt to equity ratio of 0.28 is low. The company has around USD 4.2 billion in long-term debt at a net income of USD 2.8 billion

Earnings and Dividends From Aflac

--------------------------------------

For readers who a new to the matter and my dividend growth philosophy: I funded a virtual portfolio with 100k on October 04, 2012 with the aim to build a passive income stream that doubles each five to ten years. I plan to purchase each week one stock holding until the money is fully invested. The total number of constituents is expected at 50 – 70 companies and the dividend income should be at least at $3,000 per year.

--------------------------------------

The current AFL stake cost me around USD 1,200 bucks and will give me approximately USD 28 dividend income for the full year. The stock is underweighted with 0.75 percent portfolio share.

The full-year dividend yield income of the portfolio is now estimated at USD 2,090.33.  With USD 41.436,05 in cash on hands and bank accounts, it should be possible to hit my aim of a USD 3,000 dividend income by the end of the year. All I need to do is to buy stocks with a yield on cost for around 3 percent.

The current yield on cost amounts to 3.49 percent while the actual portfolio yield is a little bit lower at 3.21 percent due to the capital gains.

Portfolio Performance (Click to enlarge)

All stock holdings from the Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio are up in average by 9.28 percent since the date of funding. The underperformance to the main indices is reasonable to the slow purchasing process. In a down-going market, my strategy would perform better than the market. But I am not interested in quick money. I want to build a long-term dividend growth portfolio which doubles each ten years from alone.
