Description: LNT Alliant Energy October 16, 2025
Alliant Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:LNT) is a regulated utility holding company that delivers electricity and natural gas across the United States through two primary subsidiaries: Interstate Power and Light Company (IPL) and Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WPL).
IPL focuses on generation and distribution of electricity and the transport of natural gas to retail customers in Iowa, while also selling wholesale electricity to Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa markets and providing steam to two industrial customers in Cedar Rapids. WPL performs similar functions in Wisconsin, serving retail customers and supplying wholesale power to municipalities and rural cooperatives.
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 and wind-turbine-blade-recycling businesses, a rail-served warehouse, a natural-gas-fired generation asset near Sheboygan Falls, WI, and a wind farm in Oklahoma.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023) include revenue of roughly $3.2 billion, an adjusted EPS of $2.15, a regulated rate base of about $15 billion, and capital expenditures of $800 million, of which roughly 35 % was directed toward renewable-energy projects. The company’s debt-to-EBITDA ratio sits near 3.2×, and its renewable generation capacity has grown to approximately 2.5 GW, driven by state-level clean-energy mandates and a broader industry shift toward decarbonization.
