Alliant Energy sets October 29 for third-quarter results after market close
Key Facts
Alliant Energy set Thursday, October 29, 2026, to release its third-quarter results after market close, according to a company statement. The timing puts the financial report at the center of investors’ focus on the company; the release schedule statement did not include results for the quarter. An earlier news draft had reported earnings and revenue figures, but the company statement available does not verify them. The confirmed news therefore centers on the announcement timing and the call management arranged to review the results. The company is a regulated utility in Iowa and Wisconsin, making its quarterly results relevant to a broad base of electricity and gas customers.
Alliant Energy said a call to review third-quarter results is scheduled for Friday, October 30, at 9 a.m. Central Time. The call follows the results announcement scheduled for the previous evening, giving management an opportunity to discuss the period’s figures with investors. The statement described the purpose of the call as "reviewing third-quarter results," without providing financial details or new forecasts in the available material. The sequence of the announcement and the call gives investors a clear schedule for following and discussing the disclosure. The call is set to be the next item on the company’s schedule after the results are published.
The company serves about 1,010,000 electricity customers and 435,000 natural gas customers in Iowa and Wisconsin, according to its statement. It provides these services within a regulated framework, defining the scope of its core business in the two markets where it operates. The customer counts show the scale of its service base, which will provide context for reading the third-quarter results when they are released. They also present the company’s electricity and gas operations together, rather than narrowing its business to either source. The company said it provides regulated energy services to these customers across the two states.
EL7 data showed the company’s stock, which trades under the ticker LNT, closed at $69.37 on October 28, 2026. That was the closing price recorded in the session before the scheduled release of third-quarter results, and the data presented here do not include verified session lows or highs. The available trading context is therefore limited to the closing price and its date. The price came before the company’s scheduled announcement after market close on October 29. The available evidence does not include the stock’s reaction after the results were released.
On the cash-return front, the company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.5350 per share, payable November 16, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 30. The announcement ties eligibility to a specific record date that falls on the day of the scheduled results call, with payment due the following month. Alliant Energy said it has paid dividends on its common stock for 324 consecutive quarters since 1946. The company presents the announced dividend as part of a long-standing policy. The payment date and record date are separate from the third-quarter results announcement and discussion.
The upcoming results follow the company’s diluted GAAP earnings of $0.65 per share in the second quarter of 2026, compared with $0.68 in the same period of 2025. In July, the company maintained its 2026 ongoing earnings guidance at a range of $3.36 to $3.46 per share and said results were tracking toward the upper half of the range. Chief Executive Lisa Barton also said three data centers were making significant construction progress and that the company was advancing its energy resource investments. Barton linked those investments to supporting growth while protecting customers and reliability. These indicators provide context for the company’s third-quarter report without determining the period’s results before the disclosure.
In the year-earlier comparison, GAAP earnings per share were $1.09 in the third quarter of 2025, versus $1.15 in the third quarter of 2024, while ongoing earnings were $1.12 versus $1.15. The company said at the time that higher revenue requirements driven by approved base rate increases were among the factors supporting earnings. In November 2025, it had raised its capital expenditure forecast for 2026–2029 to $13.4 billion, citing 3 gigawatts of contracted data center demand. Ahead of the current third-quarter announcement, Investing.com reported a revenue forecast of $1.29 billion and earnings per share of $1.26. The available page did not show the actual figure or earnings surprise, so these remain estimates made before the announcement.
The results are scheduled for release after market close on October 29, followed by a call to review them on October 30 at 9 a.m. Central Time. Alliant Energy said it is a component of the S&P 500. The third-quarter results and management’s explanations on the call will be the next disclosure focus for investors.
