AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I look at Alliant Energy as a regulated utility: it sells electricity and natural gas in service territories where competition is limited by law. That regulatory compact is the moat, but it is not a wide, owner-friendly moat; returns depend on commissions, rate cases, and capital spending. The filed results show fiscal 2025 revenue of $4.4B, net income of $810.0M, and diluted EPS of $3.14, up from fiscal 2024 revenue of $4.0B, net income of $690.0M, and diluted EPS of $2.69. In fiscal Q1 2026, the quarter ended 2026-03-31, revenue was $1.2B, net income $224.0M, and diluted EPS $0.87, versus $1.1B, $213.0M, and $0.83 in fiscal Q1 2025, the quarter ended 2025-03-31. So the trajectory is modest, not explosive; FairStock labels it a SLOW GROWER, with 5.4% five-year profit growth and 5.0% revenue growth. Financial health is mixed. Piotroski F-Score is 7/9, and trailing free cash flow is $1.3B, a 7.4% FCF yield, but debt-to-equity is 1.61, and the Altman Z-Score is 0.90. ROCE of 2.45% and ROE of 11.13% show a capital-intensive business earning regulated, not spectacular, returns. At the 2026-10-13 close of $66.96, the P/E is 21.19, P/B is 2.31, EV/EBITDA is 14.33, and the dividend yield is 3.26%. The Graham Number is $45.20, leaving the price about 48% above that conservative value marker. I would want a wider margin of safety before calling this a bargain. The 0.53 beta and regulated cash flows are appealing, but the price already reflects a lot of steady utility predictability.

In plain English: Alliant Energy is a regulated utility that sells electricity and natural gas, mostly in Iowa and nearby states. It earns steady money from customers, and its latest reported quarter had $1.2B of revenue and $224.0M of profit. The business looks stable but not fast-growing, and at $66.96 the stock looks fair to expensive relative to its profits and assets, with a 3.26% dividend yield.
