Aflacs 260 Million Volume Ranks 480th in U.S. Active Stocks as Shares Rise 149 in Mixed Market Amid Strategic Shift Toward Digital Engagement

On September 17, 2025, , ranking 480th among active stocks on U.S. exchanges. .

Recent developments highlight a strategic shift in Aflac’s operational focus, with management emphasizing long-term policyholder retention initiatives. The company has reportedly reallocated resources toward digital engagement platforms to bolster customer loyalty, a move analysts suggest could stabilize recurring premium income streams amid broader sector volatility.

Market observers noted that Aflac’s volume surge aligns with broader investor interest in defensive sectors. However, the stock’s relative performance lags behind peers in the financial sector, with some attributing this to ongoing challenges in integrating recent cost-cutting measures without compromising service quality.

To run this strategy faithfully we would need to rebalance a 500-stock, equal-weighted portfolio every trading day – functionality that goes beyond the single-ticker back-test engine we have available here. I can still help in one of two ways: 1. Proxy approach • Use a highly liquid broad–market ETF (e.g., SPY, VTI or RSP) as a stand-in for “the market”, then evaluate the 1-day holding return when the ETF’s own volume ranks in the top decile of its past-N-day history. (This keeps us inside the one-ticker limitation but only approximates your intent.) 2. Portfolio engine (offline calculation) • I can script an external calculation that builds the full 500-stock portfolio each day and report aggregate statistics, but the visual back-test module here will not be able to render a position-level curve automatically. • You’d receive a downloadable CSV plus summary metrics instead of the interactive module. Which path would you prefer (or do you have another idea)?
