Track LNT free→Alliant Energy keeps growing revenue about 5% a year. It expects earnings per share near $3.41 in 2026. The company has a low risk profile and stable profit margins. It also supports shareholders with a 3% dividend yield and share buybacks.
Earnings growth may slow or miss the $3.36 to $3.46 guidance range. Free cash flow remains negative, which could pressure capital returns. The sector faces headwinds that may limit growth and margin expansion.
The stock price is about 20% above our estimate of intrinsic value and 15% below the Street median. Analysts expect roughly 5% revenue growth, which aligns with company guidance. Our view is more cautious on valuation but agrees on moderate growth.
Breaks if: Dividend yield falls significantly below 3% or buybacks stop
Breaks if: EPS guidance falls below $3.36 or above $3.46 for FY26
