Alliant Energy reaffirms 2026 guidance; 60% load growth by 2031

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The company reaffirmed 2026 guidance and highlighted substantial 2031 load growth, underpinned by ongoing capex and data-center deployments, which can support higher earnings visibility and potential multiple expansion for LNT. Near-term EPS softness is offset by the upper-half trajectory of guidance and a constructive long-term growth path, a combination historically associated with modest near-term volatility and positive price drift as visibility increases.
