Alliant Energy (US0188021085) stock last traded at USD 63.21 on Nasdaq on September 28, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, 19.79 percent below its 52-week high of USD 78.81. The latest operating signal remains the company's Q2 2026 report, which combined a revenue beat with lower year-over-year earnings.

Quarterly EPS beat consensus

According to MarketBeat on September 11, 2026, Alliant Energy reported USD 0.65 EPS for Q2 2026, above the USD 0.58 consensus estimate. Quarterly revenue reached USD 971.0 million against USD 896.94 million expected, while revenue increased 1.00 percent from the same quarter a year earlier.

The earnings comparison is more cautious on the bottom line: Q2 EPS was USD 0.65 versus USD 0.68 in the prior-year quarter. Management's fiscal 2026 ongoing EPS guidance remains USD 3.36 to USD 3.46, while the consensus estimate cited by MarketBeat is USD 3.43.

Analyst target stays above the quote

MarketBeat reported on September 22, 2026, that 9 of 14 research firms rated the stock Buy and 5 rated it Hold, producing a Moderate Buy consensus. The average 12-month price target was USD 77.00, USD 13.79 above the September 28 quote.

That target is 21.82 percent above USD 63.21, a valuation gap that leaves the analyst view more optimistic than the recent market price. The same report listed a quarterly dividend of USD 0.535, equivalent to USD 2.14 annualized, with a 3.30 percent yield.

Stock remains near its yearly low

Alliant Energy traded between USD 62.77 and USD 63.81 during the September 28 session. Its 52-week range was USD 62.70 to USD 78.81, putting the reference price USD 0.51 above the low and USD 15.60 below the high; market capitalization stood at USD 16.3 billion and volume reached 4,040,364 shares.

For investors, the central contrast is measurable: Q2 revenue exceeded consensus by USD 74.06 million, but EPS declined USD 0.03 from the prior-year quarter. The stock therefore combines an operating beat with a quote still close to its annual low.
