Description: LNT Alliant Energy December 19, 2025
Alliant Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:LNT) is a regulated utility holding company that delivers electric and natural-gas service to retail and wholesale customers across Iowa and Wisconsin through its two primary subsidiaries, Interstate Power & Light (IPL) and Wisconsin Power & Light (WPL).
IPL focuses on electricity generation and distribution, plus natural-gas delivery in Iowa, while also selling wholesale power to Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa and providing steam to two industrial customers in Cedar Rapids. WPL mirrors this model in Wisconsin, generating and distributing electricity, transporting natural gas, and supplying wholesale power to municipal and cooperative customers.
Beyond core utility operations, Alliant owns a short-line rail freight service in Iowa, a multimodal freight terminal on the Mississippi River in Illinois, freight brokerage, wind-turbine blade recycling, and a rail-served warehouse. It also holds minority interests in a natural-gas-fired plant near Sheboygan Falls, WI, and a wind farm in Oklahoma.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023): revenue $5.5 billion, adjusted EPS $2.30, dividend yield ≈2.8 %, and a capital-expenditure plan of $900 million focused on grid modernization and renewable-energy projects, bringing total renewable capacity to ~2.5 GW. The company’s regulated rate base grew 4 % YoY, reflecting approved infrastructure upgrades.
Sector drivers that materially affect Alliant’s outlook include state-level renewable-portfolio standards (RPS) that push utilities toward higher wind and solar shares, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) policies on transmission cost recovery, and the sensitivity of regulated earnings to interest-rate movements because of the capital-intensive nature of utility assets.
If you want a data-rich, forward-looking valuation framework, a quick look at Alliant’s profile on ValueRay can help you benchmark its risk-adjusted returns against peers.
