Alliant Energy stock sits 17.3 percent below its yearly high

Alliant Energy (ISIN US0188021085) carried a market capitalization of USD 16.8 billion on October 7, 2026, while the stock stood 17.3 percent below its 52-week high of USD 78.81. The utility's latest reported quarter and analyst estimates now frame the valuation discussion.

Second-quarter revenue reached USD 971.0 million

According to MarketBeat on October 6, 2026, Alliant Energy reported diluted EPS of USD 0.65 and revenue of USD 971.0 million for the second quarter of 2026. Revenue increased 1.0 percent from the year-earlier quarter, while the company maintained ongoing EPS guidance of USD 3.36-3.46 for fiscal year 2026.

The reported quarter ended June 30, 2026, and the guidance range remains the central operating reference for the stock. It also gives the market a concrete comparison point against the current fiscal-year consensus EPS estimate of USD 3.43.

Consensus target stands at USD 77.00

MarketBeat reported on October 6, 2026, that nine analysts rated the shares Buy and five rated them Hold, producing a Moderate Buy consensus from 14 analysts. The average price target was USD 77.00, which lies 18.1 percent above the October 7 reference price of USD 65.21.

The target spread is notable because it points to a gap between the current quotation and the average analyst valuation, while the company guidance range remains unchanged. MarketBeat also reported that Zacks Research raised its fiscal-year 2028 EPS estimate to USD 4.06 from USD 4.02 on October 5, 2026.

Yearly range keeps the risk visible

Alliant Energy's October 7 trading range was USD 65.07 to USD 65.67, with volume of 2,128,934 shares. The 52-week range of USD 62.54 to USD 78.81 places the stock USD 2.67 above its yearly low and USD 13.60 below its yearly high.

For investors, the contrast is direct: current market value sits near the lower end of the annual range, while the average analyst target remains above the quotation. The next valuation test is whether the utility can convert its fiscal-year guidance into results as demand from large energy users develops across its service areas.
