AFLAC Jumps to All-Time High

Here are a few notes to pass along ahead of today’s Fed policy announcement which is due at 2 pm.

Shares of AFLAC (AFL) gapped up to an all-time high this morning. They finally took out the old high from eight years ago. The stock is currently above $69 per share.

Wabtec (WAB) is having another good day post-earnings. Sometimes there seems to be an odd delayed reaction to earnings news. The shares are now up 20% on the year for us making WAB our best position YTD.

A similar delayed reaction is happening for Express Scripts (ESRX). It’s up 2% today. Also, Reuters reports, “Express Scripts CEO aims to keep Anthem as a customer.”

Earnings from CR Bard (BCR) are due after today’s close.
