| Q4-2024 | $976M | $233M | $150M | 15.37% | $0.58 | $461M |
What's going well?
The company remained profitable despite a tough quarter. Interest and tax adjustments helped soften the blow to net income. Share count is stable, so existing shareholders aren't being diluted.
What's concerning?
Revenue and profits both fell sharply, with margins under pressure and costs rising. Heavy interest expense and negative 'other' items are dragging down results. Efficiency is slipping, and the business looks less resilient to downturns.

| Q4-2024 | $81M | $22.71B | $15.71B | $7B |
What's financially strong about this company?
The company owns a huge amount of physical infrastructure and has no risky goodwill or intangibles. Shareholder equity is healthy and rising, and the business has a long track record of profits.
What are the financial risks or weaknesses?
Debt is climbing and now stands at almost twice the company's equity, while cash reserves are shrinking. Liquidity is tight, with current assets not enough to cover current liabilities.

| Q4-2024 | $150M | $254M | $-607M | $-396M | $-746M | $-561M |
What's strong about this company's cash flow?
LNT can generate solid cash from its core business, with operating cash flow still positive. Working capital changes gave a big short-term boost to cash this quarter.
What are the cash flow concerns?
Free cash flow turned deeply negative due to heavy capital spending, forcing the company to borrow and issue shares. Dividends are not covered by cash generation, and the current cash cushion is thin.

Q4 2025 Earnings Call Summary
Read Call Summary5-Year Trend Analysis
A comprehensive look at Alliant Energy Corporation's financial evolution and strategic trajectory over the past five years.
The company combines the stability of a regulated utility with solid profitability and strong operating cash generation. Its asset base is large, tangible, and increasingly skewed toward renewables and modern grid infrastructure, supporting both environmental goals and long‑term cost competitiveness. A significant capital plan, coupled with established customer relationships and a growing focus on data centers and other large users, provides a clear avenue for future earnings growth if executed well.
Financially, the main concerns are high leverage, thin short‑term liquidity by conventional metrics, and persistently negative free cash flow driven by heavy capital spending. Strategically, the company is exposed to regulatory outcomes, including decisions on allowed returns and cost recovery for its many projects, as well as to technological and market shifts that could change demand patterns. Execution risk around large, complex investments—especially in newer technologies and infrastructure to serve energy‑intensive customers—is also meaningful.
The overall outlook is one of stable core operations combined with a sizable, ongoing transformation toward cleaner, more modern infrastructure. If regulatory support remains constructive and major projects are delivered efficiently, the expanded asset base and potential new load from data centers could translate into steady earnings growth over the rest of the decade. At the same time, the path involves sustained reliance on external financing and careful navigation of regulatory, technological, and cost pressures, making disciplined capital management and regulatory engagement critical factors to watch.
